  2. Select Add Elevator to configure a new elevator, or select an elevator to edit it.
  3. On the Add Elevator screen:
    1. Choose a reader to control the elevator cab. Choices are limited to readers configured for dedicated elevator control. If no readers are available, select Manage Devices to add them. 
    2. Select Continue.
    3.  On the Buttons screen:
      1. Button Count - Specify the number of buttons this elevator has. Elevators support up to 128 buttons/floors.
      2. Enter a name for each button.

      3. Alternatively, select Autofill to open the Autofill Rules to define the format that will be used to automatically populate the button names. For example:

        Starting #

        Prepend

        Append

        Button names after selecting Apply

        0


        -east

        0-east, 1-east, 2-east, etc.

        1

        west-


        west-1, west-2, west-3, etc.

        1, 2, 3, etc.

      4. Select Continue.

    4. On the Outputs screen, Choose an interface. Choices are limited to output interfaces configured for dedicated elevator control. Elevators with 16 or fewer buttons only require a single output interface.

    5. For elevators with more than 16 buttons:
      1.  After choosing an interface, the number of outputs that will be assigned and how many more outputs are needed is displayed.
      2. Choose another interface until no more outputs are needed for the number of buttons.

    6. Select Continue. The button output assignment is shown with the buttons assigned sequentially to the available outputs on the board(s). For example: 

      Button label

      Default

      Output relay

      Basement

      Button 1

      Output 1

      1st floor

      Button 2

      Output 2

      2nd floor

      Button 3

      Output 3

      3rd floor

      Button 4

      Output 4

      4th floor

      Button 5

      Output 5

      5th floor

      Button 6

      Output 6

    7. If you need to change any of the button names, select Edit Button Labels.
    8. Select Save to save the configuration. If you exit this screen after entering the information without saving, you will be prompted to save or discard your change.
