This section is aimed at qualifi ed technicians who, 
after installing the product, will program the porter 
switchboard using guided menus, which can be 
viewed on the display by navigating the main menu.
The switchboard may be secondary or main.
• Set Simplebus when the switchboard is used as
secondary, as output from the LM-LM terminals 
of switching devices Art. 1424 (Simplebus TOP 
system) (see SBTOP/001DSMC diagram, page 
110); or when the switchboard is used in Simplebus 
systems with switching devices Art. 1224A or in a 
system with a single riser and no switching devices.
CAUTION! the secondary switchboard cannot be 
confi gured as a switchboard in parallel.
• Set Simplebus top when the switchboard is used
as main in a Simplebus top system, and therefore 
positioned upline of switching devices Art. 1424 
marking the zones/risers (see SBTOP/002DSMC 
digram, page 112). 
The secondary or main switchboard must then be 
confi gured as:
1- SINGLE
2- PARALLEL
3- SERIES
1- Select single when the switchboard is the only one
in the system, or the only one serving a specifi c 
riser.
2- If there are 2 main or secondary switchboards
serving the same riser, the parallel confi guration 
means that both switchboards will be operating 
with the same functions (see SBTOP/005DSMC 
diagram, page 118).
The
fi rst of the two to answer a call will preclude
the possibility of the other one performing the same 
procedure.
If one of the 2 devices is switched on or off, the
other will automatically follow suit.
Set the switchboard connected under the LS-LS
line of switching device Art. 1424 as Parall. LS-IN; 
set the switchboard located under the LPin-LPin 
line of switching device Art. 1424 as Parall. LP-IN.
For the parallel switchboard, switching to NIGHT
and the AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT function is not 
possible (see “I9- Set daily mode”, page 57).
A
P should appear on the standby screen of the
two switchboards, indicating that the switchboard 
is confi gured in parallel, in addition to the fi xed icon 
.
3- If there are 2 main or secondary switchboards
serving the same riser, the series confi guration 
means that only 1 of the 2 can operate at one time 
C1 - Type of switchboard (Simplebus Top mode)
(Master in series), while the other is deactivated
(Slave in series) (see SBTOP/004DSMC diagram, 
page 116).
To change a switchboard from master to slave and
vice-versa, see “U11 How to activate or deactivate 
the main switchboards”, page 43.
An
S should appear on the standby screen of the
two switchboards, indicating that the switchboard is 
confi gured in series, in addition to the fi xed icon 
.
CAUTION! 
- if fl ashes, it is indicating that the 2 switchboards 
are not communicating correctly.
- if the icon ! appears, there is a problem with the 
confi guration of the 2 switchboards (e.g. both master 
or slave in series, Parall. LP-IN or Parall. LS-IN or
one in series and the other parallel).
- if in a Simplebus TOP system (with switching 
devices Art. 1424), both main and secondary 
switchboards are present (see SBTOP/003DSMC 
diagram page 114); for correct system operation the 
setting “C5- Backwards compatibility”, page 62, must 
be activated on all switchboards.
