1. On the home page click on the Configuration icon – from the configuration page click on the Devices icon.

2. On the Devices page click on the I/O Module icon from the Add New list.

3. On the Properties tab enter a name for the device. Generally, it would be the location of the light. Select Mixed – 4I/6O for I/O Module Type.

4. Click on the Discrete Outputs tab.

5. First enter a name (light color) for each output. Click on the first output in the list to highlight.

6. A Properties screen will show on to the right of the output list - explanation of the options below:

a. Description – enter the name of the output – generally the color of the light in the light stack. b. Type – there are 3 options available. i. Normal – this means the light will act normally meaning when it is turned on the light will come on independent of any other output. ii. Disabled – this option will disable the output, it will no longer work. iii. Related – this option allows the light to come on when another is on or off. You will configure this using the Direct and Inverse settings at the bottom of the page. c. Inverted – click this if you want the output to be opposite of the default setting. An example of this would be the light stays on when the button is not pressed the blinks or goes off when the button is pressed. d. On Delay – enter a number of milliseconds that you want to elapse before the light comes on. e. Off Delay – enter a number of milliseconds that you want to elapse before the light goes off. f. Blink On – enter the number of milliseconds that you want the light to blink on. g. Blink Off – enter the number or milliseconds that you want the light to blink off. h. Direct – this section will only show for a Related Output Type. Click to place a check mark in the box next to the output you want to be directly related to the output. An example would be that you want another output/light to turn on when one of the other outputs turns on. i. Inverse – this section will only show for a Related Output Type. Click to place a check mark in the box next to the output you want to be inversely related to the output. An example would be that you want another output/light to turn on when the output is off (Green light is one when the others in the light stack are off the off when any other light is on).

7. Below is an example of each light in the stack except the green light.

a. Description – enter the light color. b. Type – leave this as normal. c. Inverted – leave this unchecked. d. Default State – leave this as Off - we want the light to be off until it is activated. e. On Delay – set to zero as we want no delay. f. Off Delay – set to zero as we want no delay. g. Blink On – set to 5 as we want it set to default. h. Blink Off – set to 5 as we want it set to default.

8. Below is an example of how to set up the Green Light that will be on when none of the other lights has been activated.

a. Description – enter Green light. b. Type – select related. c. Inverted – leave this unchecked. d. On Delay – leave this set to 0. e. Off Delay – leave this set to 0. f. Direct – leave all unchecked. g. Inverse – check mark DO1, DO2, DO3 and DO4.

9. Once all the lights have been setup click on the Save & Exit button.

10. This will setup the Wireless Light Module in the Devices, but you will need to send this configuration to the module. From the Home page click on the Diagnostic icon – on the diagnostics page click on the Device Status icon.

11. On the Device Status page find the module by the Address field. The MAC Address is printed on a sticker on the outside of the module near the power cord. Click on the Options link to the right and in line with the address.

12. On the Device Options page click on Configuration from the options available.

13. Click on the Down Arrow for the New Configuration field and select the correct Wireless Light Module from the list that you want to assign to this unit – click on the Update Configuration button.

14. The configuration file will take about 30 to 45 seconds to transmit and load on the module. We suggest that you only do one module at a time – you can click on the Refresh button to see when the module shows with the correct module name.

15. Once this is complete you will need to setup either a PSM, TIM, BSC or Call Station to use the lights on the module. Reference How To Guide on Configuring Wireless Lights.
