Multiple inputs on the local iPIO-8 can control the same relay on the remote unit. In this case, the
remote relay will switch based on the most recent input state change. It is also possible to have the
inputs of the local iPIO-8 control its own relays, by setting up a remote iPIO-8 with the local IP address.
Click Save and the color Link Status will change from red to green to indicate successful
communications between iPIO-8 devices.
The Sync button allows information on all local inputs to be transmitted to the remote iPIO-8. When the
remote iPIO-8 is set up, use this button to coordinate the local inputs with the remote relays.
iPIO-8 units continually communicate to coordinate inputs and outputs. If one or more remotes are
programmed, the RMT LED on the front of the iPIO-8 will be solid on. If any remotes fail to
communicate, the LED will flash, and the alarm relay (if programmed) will Open. Click refresh, or
refresh your browser window to view the latest remote status.
If the Auto Update feature is enabled on the Device Setup section, the iPIO-8 will periodically transmit
its status to the remote unit. If the On Reconnect feature is enabled, the iPIO-8 will transmit its status
whenever the connection to the remote is established or re-established.
