| + | ====== System Commander Rules Tab ====== | ||
| + | The rules tab within [[software:system-commander|System Commander]] allows you to create and add macros and rules to be run on your device. This tab is identical across all CommandFusion hardware that supports our Rules Engine. | ||
| - | ===== CFLink Protocol ===== | + | {{:hardware:lan-bridge:lan-bridge-configuration:lan_bridge_rules_tab.png?nolink|}} |
| + | |||
| + | A detailed explanation of how to program macros and rules can be found in our [[software:system-commander:quick-start-guide:quick-start-page-3|System Commander Quick Start Guide here.]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 1 - Rules ===== | ||
| + | A rule watches for a specific event, then runs a macro when that event occurs. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 2 - Macro/Action ===== | ||
| + | A macro must always be created first, as a rule will trigger a macro. A macro is a pre-defined set of actions to be run when triggered by a rule. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== 3 - Buttons ===== | ||
| + | ==== Backup to File ==== | ||
| + | This button allows you to backup your rules and macros to a local file. This can be file can be kept as a backup, or used to load the rules and macros onto a different device. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Restore to File ==== | ||
| + | This button allows you to choose a locally stored backup file to load macros/rules onto the current device. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Clear Device Rules ==== | ||
| + | Erases all rules all rules and macros from the current device. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Load From Device ==== | ||
| + | Loads the rules and macros currently stored on the device and shows them in System Commander. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Save to Device ==== | ||
| + | Saves all changes made to the device. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====== CFLink Protocol ====== | ||
