Assign Station Master
One SmartPack in a system with wall stations installed should be configured as the “Station
Master”. The station master tracks and updates button LED states for connected wall
stations when preset or sequence changes occur. In addition the station master sends host
messages to other SmartLink enabled SmartPack dimmer packs in the system.
For systems without wall stations, there is no requirement to configure a station master.
Default functionality for pack to pack synchronization is that the last SmartPack or
SmartSwitch updated in the system acts as the station master and send its host messages
to the other products in the system.
