To load a Unison Light Manager configuration into the control processorThe Light Manager configuration provides system parameters such as number of rooms, number of zones in each room, number of presets and type and placement of stations.

To bind control stations to the architectural processorBefore the architectural processor can identify signals from the wall stations, it has to link each control station to its ID number. This process is called "binding". Systems with a single station of a particular type (preset, fader, LCD) will automatically bind with the associated ID number.
