2. System Design & Applications
The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house
floor plan with speaker, keypad, touch panel, touchpad, volume control, and equipment locations,
etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing with other components
such as relay-controlled devices, source components, sensors, serial controllers, and user interfaces, so it is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage.
Secondly, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment, touch panels, touchpads, keypads, RS-232 controlled devices, relay controlled devices, power supplies, sensors, and
the SS1 System Station itself. Be sure to include necessary electrical boxes, structured wiring
enclosures, telephone lines, rough-in brackets, ELAN Precision Panels, patch cables, etc.
Pre-Wire
Pre-wiring for the SS1 System Station requires careful system planning. Pay close attention to where
each component will be located and ensure that the appropriate wires are run to the correct locations! Make sure to plan for the future. It is often advantageous to pre-wire for components that may
be installed later.
VIA!2 Wireless Touchpanels
The VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel's Base Station will require access to 110 VAC. Make sure to
locate the Base Station within range of a Wireless Access Point.
Wireless Access Points
Wireless Access Points (WAPs) take information originating from wireless VIA! Touch Panels and
send it to the system’s router. Keep in mind that local conditions and different WAP ranges will
make each installtion different. Test the range before finalizing the installation locations of WAPs.
Use Cat-5 cable to connect the WAP to the router.
Router
A Router (wired or wireless) is the heart of the VIA!28.4's communication system. Location of a wired
router is not critical, as long as access is provided for connections and service. A wireless router
must be located where it’s signal can reach the WAP and other wireless devices on the network. A
router will typically share duties between the wireless touch panels, VIA!dj Digital Music Servers,
VIA!dvdj DVD Controllers, and any computers in the customer’s home. Use Cat-5 cable to connect
the Router to the SS1 System Station.
Relay Controlled Devices
The SS1 System Station’s eight closed-contact relays can be used to control devices such as
lifts, projection screens, and drapes. Use two-conductor stranded cable between the SS1 System
Station’s RELAY terminals and the devices to be controlled.
RS-232 Controlled Devices
RS-232 communication is accomplished by loading drivers directly into the SS1 System Station
from VIA!TOOLS Setup Software. Connect serial cables or Cat-5 (w/ DB-9 connectors) between the
COM1-4 ports on the SS1 and the RS-232 device’s COM ports. COM1 and COM2 have Transmit/
Receive reversed compared to COM3 and COM4. Make sure to use the correct ports for the correct
RS-232 controlled devices! VIA!TOOLS setup software will help to determine which device should be
assigned to a particular COM port.

SS1 System Station
INSTALLATION MANUAL
IR Controlled Devices
IR controlled devices should typically be installed in close proximity to the SS1 System
Station. Connect single and dual IR emitters between the IR ports of the SS1 and the IR
sensor window (or 3.5mm IR input jack) of the source to be controlled. Use VIA!TOOLS setup
software to create IR control functions and independent IR routing.
Sensors
ELANSENSE sensors can be used to trigger automated functions using the SS1 System
Station. Sensors plug into the Sense Inputs using stereo 3.5mm plugs. Use Cat-5 to extend
the length of the sensor’s wires, if necessary. Use VIA!TOOLs setup software to create triggered events using sensors.

Zone/System Wire Run Specifications and VIA!NET Overview
The communication link between a Zone or System SS1 and all the wired or wireless VIA!
Touch Panels and Olé Touchpads in a system is called the ‘VIA!NET’. All VIA!NET wire runs
are “home-run” from each VIA!/Olé location to a PVIA 1, PVIA4, PVIA10 or PS12 Precision
Panel (as well as any future Precision Panels), which serve as the network hub. There are
two types of VIA!NETs: BASIC and EXTENDED.
BASIC VIA!NET
A BASIC VIA!NET has the following specifications and limitations:
• Capable of supporting one System SS1 and a maximum of 30 wired VIA! Touch
Panels, wireless VIA!2 Touch Panels (with their companion Zone SS1s) and/or
Olé Touchpads.
• The maximum distance between an SS1 and any one wired VIA! Touch Panel
companion Zone SS1 or Olé Touchpad CANNOT EXCEED 1000 feet.
• In a BASIC VIA!NET system, the combined TOTAL LENGTH of the wire runs
CANNOT EXCEED 2000 feet.

EXTENDED VIA!NET
An EXTENDED VIA!NET has the following specifications and limitations:
• Capable of supporting one System SS1 and a maximum of 30 wired VIA! Touch
Panels, wireless VIA!2 Touch Panels (with their companion Zone SS1s) and/or
Olé Touchpads (same as BASIC VIA!NET).
• The maximum distance between an SS1 and any one wired VIA! Touch Panel
companion Zone SS1 or Olé Touchpad CANNOT EXCEED 1000 feet (same as
BASIC VIA!NET).
• In an EXTENDED VIA!NET system, the combined TOTAL LENGTH of the wire
runs within the VIA!NET CAN EXCEED 2000 feet.
• Even when VIA!NET Repeaters are utilized, the combined TOTAL LENGTH of
wire runs in each “sub-net” still MUST NOT EXCEED 1000 feet.
IMPORTANT! - If the 2000ft total combined wire length (to all the VIA! Panels) is exceeded, an Extended VIA!NET must be created. This is accomplished by breaking the longest VIA!NET wire runs into “sub-nets” using VIA!NET Repeaters. NOTE: Using VIA!NET
Repeaters does not enable you to extend the maximum distance to any one VIA! Panel (still
1000ft MAX), but VIA!NET Repeaters do enable you to increase the number of VIA! Panels on
long runs of wire while ensuring reliable operation of all VIA! Panels in the system.

VIA!NET Repeaters
VIA!NET Reaters allow devices to be installed at distances that are in excess of normal maximum wire run lengths. Punch the repeater down on a PVIA or other VIA!NET Precision Panel
as shown in the drawing below.
Keep in mind the following points:
•
Use VIA!NET Repeaters when the TOTAL combined wire length to all VIA!
Touch Panels exceeds the 2000 ft. maximum limit.
NOTE: Wire runs WITH VIA!NET Repeaters still must not exceed 1000ft. in length.
•
As many as 30 wire runs WITH VIA!NET Repeaters may be utilized, as long as
NONE of the individual runs exceed 1000 ft. in length.
•
The combined length of all wire runs remaining WITHOUT VIA!NET Repeaters
(‘sub-net’) must not exceed 1000 ft.

System Types
The SS1 has three primary application Types:
• STAND-ALONE - Connection Hub for VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panels in StandAlone/Home Theater applications
• ZONE - Connection Hub for VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panels when used as a
controller for a zone in an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system
• SYSTEM - System Controller when connected to wired VIA! Touch Panels, Olé
Touchpads and ZONE VIA!2-8.4/SS1 Connection Hubs
STAND-ALONE
STAND-ALONE applications typically use the SS1 as a Control Station/Connection Hub for
the VIA!2-SS1 Wireless Touch Panel. These applications can provide IR routing in order to
control local IR sources (not part of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system), one-way
RS-232 devices that are not part of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system, relay
controlled devices, and perform intelligent ON/OFF commands through the Sense Inputs. A
Wireless Access Point is used to relay information from a VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel to
the SS1.
ZONE
ZONE applications consist of a wireless VIA!2-8.4 Touch Panel utilizing the SS1 as a
Connection Hub when controlling a zone of an ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based system.
ZONE applications can provide IR routing in order to control local IR sources, IR zone control, IR control of system-wide sources, one and two-way control of RS-232 devices, relay
device control, and perform intelligent ON/OFF commands through the Sense Inputs. A
Wireless Access Point is used to relay information from a VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel to
the SS1.
SYSTEM
SYSTEM applications are used when an SS1 is performing tasks outside of being the control center for a VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch Panel. Often, a System SS1 is linked to an ELAN
Multi-Room Controller-based system. These applications can control local IR sources, system-wide IR sources, ELAN Multi-Room Controllers, one and two-way RS-232 devices, relay
controlled devices, and perform intelligent ON/OFF commands through the Sense Inputs.
ZONE SS1s (with VIA!2-SS1 Wireless Touch Panels), wired VIA! Touch Panels, Olé Film
Interactive Touchpads, keypads, and hand-held remotes can all utilize functions of a System
SS1.

VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Zone Control w/ Multiple Wireless Touch Panels
This application uses two VIA!2-8.4 Wireless Touch panels as ZONE controllers for an ELAN
multi-room system. These wireless panels provide IR A/V source control, relay control,
one-way control of local RS-232 devices, and automated functionality using ELANSENSE
Sensors in their own zones (Zones 1 and 2). All zone functions and whole-house sources can
also be controlled from these touch panels. An Olé Touchpad is assigned to control Zone 3
and a VIA!64 Touch Panel controls Zone 4. These VIA! and Olé can control system IR sources, but not the local IR components, relay controlled devices, or ELANSENSE functions.
Notice that this application uses one Wireless Access Point (WAP) and one Router. In certain
cases, dedicated WAPs may need to be used in order to obtain proper signal strength and
wireless coverage area.

4. Connections
This chapter describes all necessary connections for installing the SS1 System Station. It is
divided into three sections: the first section describes all connections used when utilizing a
PSS1 Precision Panel; the second section describes connections made when not utilizing a
PSS1Precision Panel; the third section contains connections that are required whether or not
a PSS1 Precision Panel is used.
Connections When Using a PSS1 Precision Panel
PSS1
The PSS1 Precision Panel is designed to simplify connectivity when using an ELAN
SS1 System Station. The use of ELAN Precision Panels provides a convenient termination point and add reliability and simplicity to any installation in which they are used. The
rear panel of the PSS1 features a neatly laid out array of connectors provided for Relays,
Sensors, RS-232 controlled devices (HVAC, Lighting, Security, etc.), Ethernet, VIA!NET, IR,
and more. The PSS1's front panel provides Sense Inputs, IR Outputs, COM ports, Relays,
VIA!NET, and Ethernet connections that coincide with all of the relevant connectors on the
SS1 System Station.
NOTE: The use of a PSS1 Precision Panel is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

5. Programming
Once all connections have been made, system programming can commence. Use ELAN's
VIA!®TOOLS setup software version 7.3 or higher for this purpose. For specific, detailed
instructions, please consult the VIA!TOOLS HELP file.
Figure 5.1 - VIA!TOOLS Programming
Setup Procedures
The SS1 System Station must receive a download from VIA!TOOLS in order to function correctly. ELAN strongly recommends using DHCP to allow the Router to automatically assign
parameters to the SS1 System Station.
To configure the system:
1. Ensure that the most current version of VIA!TOOLS is installed on a computer that is
connected to the network containing the SS1 System Station. A dedicated network is
strongly recommended.
2. Remove power from the SS1 System Station and the system's Router.
3. Connect the SS1 System Station's ETHERNET port to the Router using an Ethernet
cable.
4. Power up both the Router and the SS1 System Station. The Router should automati
cally assign an IP address to the SS1 System Station.
5. Once the steps above have been completed, open VIA!TOOLS (ver. 7.3 or higher) and
perform the procedures required to program the system. For specific, detailed
instructions, please consult the VIA!TOOLS HELP file.
