4.5. Further built-in features
4.5.1. Automatically launched actions – the Event manager
The Event manager feature means that the device can sense changes on its ports and is
able to react according to the pre-defined settings. Lightware Device Controller contains a
user-friendly software tool and allows to create Events by defining a Condition and an
Action.

See more information about the settings in section 6.8 on page 58.
4.5.2. Matrix cloning – how to backup and restore the full configuration
The matrix (configuration) cloning of MMX6x2-HT devices is a simple method that
eliminates the need to repeatedly configure certain devices to have identical (non-factory)
settings. If the devices are installed in the same type of system multiple times then it is
enough to set up only one device to fit the user’s needs and then copy those settings to the
others, thus saving time and resources.
See the details of the process in section 6.10 on page 64.
4.5.3. Remote firmware upgrade of connected Lightware devices
The firmware of the Lightware TPS devices can
be upgraded individually by Lightware Device
Updater (LDU) software. MMX6x2-HT series
contains a new feature which allows having a
faster and more comfortable firmware upgrade
process. When the firmware of the connected
extenders has to be upgraded the TPS
connection is necessary towards the extenders
– nothing else. The LDU will find the connected
devices and can upgrade them.
The upgrade process is almost the same as in the case of the usual upgrade process. See
the details of the process in section 9.5 on page 109.
ATTENTION!
The feature is supported by firmware v1.1.0 or above.
