Basic Operation

1. In the Room Macros screen, click the + icon, in the upper-right corner of the screen.
2. Enter "Unpair" for both the Name and Macro Commands text field.
3. Click the + icon to display the macro configuration dialog.
4. Click the Device drop-down list and select one of the devices from this list. Since the "Unpair" macro will be disconnecting a total of three units from one another, the "Unpair" macro will contain a total of three commands. In this example, the AT-OMNI-324 is arbitrarily selected.

1. Click the Command drop-down list and select Remove All Pairings.
2. Repeat steps 3 through 5, selecting the second AT-OMNI-324 and then the AT-OMNI-311 from the Device dropdown list. When completed, the "Unpair" macro should appear as follows:

1. Click the Save icon in the top-right portion of the Room Macros bar.
2. Create a "pairing" macro by clicking the + icon, in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Note that since there are two AT-OMNI-324 units, creating the "Pair" macro can be achieved using two different methods:

a. Create two separate macros: one to pair the AT-OMNI-311 and the AT-OMNI-324 with the camera, and another one to pair the AT-OMNI-311 with the AT-OMNI-324 with the speakerphone. This method provides more control, providing the option of which AT-OMNI-324 is paired with the AT-OMNI-311.
b. Create a single macro which pairs both AT-OMNI-324 units to the AT-OMNI-311. This method is more convenient, but does not provide the option of which AT-OMNI-324 is paired with the AT-OMNI-311.

For this example, two separate pairing macros will be created:

1. Enter "Pair to camera" in both the Name and Macro Commands text field. This macro will be used to pair the computer with the camera.
2. Click the + icon to display the macro configuration dialog.
3. Click the Device drop-down list and select the AT-OMNI-324 that is connected to the camera. In this example, the AT-OMNI-324 with the IP address of 192.168.11.124 will be selected.
4. Click the Command drop-down list and select Pair (Auto).
5. Click the second Device drop-down list and select the AT-OMNI-311.
6. Repeat steps 10 through 13: select the AT-OMNI-311 in the first Device drop-down list, and then the AT-OMNI-324 with the camera, from the second Device drop-down list. The "Pair to camera" macro should now appear as follows:

Pair to camera Hide In: Drawer Preset Page Command 1 Device: Device: AT-OMNI-324: 00:1B:13:0 Custom Value: □ Command: Pair (Auto) Parameters: Device: AT-OMNI-311: 00:1B:13:02:A7:10 Repeat: 0 Interval: 10 ms Delay 0 ms : (After): Command 2 Device: Device: AT-OMNI-311: 00:1B:13:0 Custom Value: □ Command: Pair (Auto) Parameters: Device: AT-OMNI-324: 00:1B:13:02:A6:FB Repeat: 0 Interval: 10 ms Delay 0 ms : (After):

Basic Operation

1. Click the Save icon in the top-right portion of the Room Macros bar.
2. Click the + icon, in the upper-right corner of the screen to create the final macro. This macro will be used to pair the computer with the speakerphone.
3. Enter "Pair to speaker" in both the Name and Macro Commands text field.
4. Click the + icon to display the macro configuration dialog.
5. Click the Device drop-down list and select the AT-OMNI-324 that is connected to the speakerphone. The AT-OMNI-324 with the IP address of 192.168.11.123 will be selected
6. Click the Command drop-down list and select Pair (Auto).
7. Click the second Device drop-down list and select the AT-OMNI-311.
8. Repeat steps 18 through 21: select the AT-OMNI-311 in the first Device drop-down list, and then the AT-OMNI-324 with the speakerphone, from the second Device drop-down list. The "Pair to speaker" macro should now appear as follows:
