Configuring the Case Controller From MT Alliance
Creating a Lineup
Before configuring, Alliance must
first create the nodes that will be
installed to the Case Controller.
To simplify installation and future
configuration changes, multiple
Case Controllers can be created
as a Lineup.
A lineup can include up to 16
Case Controllers, which will share
many or all configuration parameters.
This feature streamlines
installation and reduces time on
future modifications. Configurations
made to one controller will
be automatically propagated to
all controllers in the lineup.
Give the Case Controller and
Lineup unique names in the
“Identification” and “Lineup
Identification” fields, respectively.
Select the Lineup Size.
To create the node(s) that will
later be downloaded to the Case
Controller(s), click “Create CCtrl.”
A new window will appear asking
to specify the network channel.
After clicking OK, Alliance will
create additional Case Controller
icons according the lineup size
specified, and the Configuration
window will expand with additional
parameters.
Shared Parameters
can be in one of
three states:
Permanently Shared
Some basic settings are
permanently shared and cannot
be disconnected. Changes made to
any Case Controller in the
lineup will always be applied to the
entire lineup. These settings include:
network configuration,
circuit specifications, lighting
settings, and others.
Currently Shared
The majority of settings are initially
shared throughout the lineup,
but can be disconnected at any
time. Changes made to any Case
Controller in the lineup will be
applied to the entire lineup. Single
clicking on this icon offers two
options. Clicking “Highlight group
parameters” highlights all of the
parameters that will be affected if
this group is disconnected. Clicking
“Shared” will disconnect the group
of parameters within the lineup.

Controller Lineup.
Disconnected
Settings are no longer shared
across the lineup. Only nonpermanently
shared parameters
can be disconnected; and once
disconnected, these settings
cannot be shared again. The
current values stored at the time
of disconnecting will remain saved.
However, all future changes made
to a Case Controller will affect only
that specific device.
