LEDlink Radio Interface
A CT-001 and one or more other devices communicate using the proprietary LEDlink radio
protocol sharing certain characteristics called a Link. A CT-001 is considered linked to another
device when it and the other device share the same Link attributes. These attributes define the
Link characteristics.
1. Radio channel : Specifies the common frequency the radio transceiver in the CT-001
and other device(s) are tuned to.
2. Network ID : The Network ID is designed to allow multiple, overlapping
installations of fixtures and other controllers to work without interference. The
primary use of the Network ID is to prevent an installation of devices in one
apartment or home from affecting devices in another apartment or home where the
radio signals may overlap. Devices with different Network IDs ignore each other.
3. Device address : Each fixture or fixture controller may be configured with a unique
device address. The CT-001 is configured with the device address for the fixture(s) it
controls.
The factory default configuration for the CT-001 and all LEDlink capable Giulio Lighting
control devices contains the same linking attributes allowing a CT-001 fixture controller to
immediately work with these devices.
Certain conditions may require that one of the Link attributes be changed. Example
conditions include the following.
1. The user desires to have multiple CT-001 fixture controllers, each with a different
address in order to be operated independently.
2. The user desires to change the Radio channel to avoid radio interference from a
device like a microwave oven.
3. The user desires to change the Network ID to avoid interference from a lighting
system in another apartment or home.
Link attributes are changed using a process called provisioning described in the next section.
