You can assign one satellite to the function of a back-up master. If the master fails during guest check
operation, the assigned terminal will perform the master’s function.
A machine number from 1 to 999999 can be entered.
If zero is entered, there will be no back-up master in the IRC system.
This assignment can be done in the INLINE CONFIG window of the master.
For determining whether your IRC system should have a back-up master or not, please consult your
authorized SHARP dealer.
1. Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection window.
2. Select “2 SETTING” from the displayed menu.
The SETTING window will appear.
3. Select “21 INLINE CONFIG” from the displayed menu.
The INLINE CONFIG window will appear.
4. Touch the “BMA MACHINE NO.” line and enter the machine number of the terminal to serve as a
backup master, and then touch the [CONTINUE] key.
The MASTER LIST window will appear.
5. Touch the [CONTINUE] key again to close the MASTER LIST window.
• For determining which satellite should be selected for BMA MACHINE NO., please consult your
authorized SHARP dealer.
The master declaration function enables the back-up master or the master to declare to serve as
the master when the master or back-up master breaks down, and the recovery declaration
function enables the back-up master or the master to inform satellites of its recovery.
If the master and back-up master communicate with each other without any problems, a “master
declaration” should not be done at the master or back-up master. Otherwise the communication
between them stops.
For details of these functions, see “Master declaration” and “Recovery declaration” on pages
50–53.
