Lutron Radio RA
Connection to a Radio RA system
Communication with Radio RA is done via the Radio RA RS232 interface. Use a full RS232 cable between Radio RA and ML Gateway. Hardware
ow control is used, so a 3-wire connection will not work.
Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet to RS232 interface and connect via the ML Gateway network port. In this case, it is important to congure
the Ethernet to RS232 interface to use hardware ow control, 9600 bps, no parity, 1 stop bit.
The only connection setting available is the TCP port number and IP address in case you connect via Ethernet.
Dening Radio RA resources
On the resources screen, you must identify all of the buttons with which you need to interact. This includes:
- Buttons on Master Control units.
- Phantom buttons on the Radio RA RS232 interface. Use the monitoring facilities or the display on the Radio RA interface to identify individual
buttons.
! Master Control buttons that you intend only for integration (and not for lighting control) have a special behaviour. Until they have been activated
once, they will not produce a radio event. Therefore, you may not nd monitoring information for these buttons. Once you dene them in the
project (and Test the conguration), ML Gateway activates these buttons.
! Bridged installations are not supported. All interaction will be related to the section where the RS232 interface is located.
Radio RA events and commands
You can dene events for button presses on Master Control buttons. For commands you can execute a button press on a Phantom button.
Also, you can set the LED state on a Master Control button. Note that setting the LED state only works if that button has not been assigned to
lighting control. If the button has lighting assigned to it, the LED will always show the lighting scene status regardless of any state change
command sent by ML Gateway. Use this feature to provide feedback on Master Control keypads.
