RadioRA 2 Programming Question?

altow90 · 05-31-2010, 11:34 PM

Ok, so I'm going to a job tomorrow to program a RadioRa 2 set-up we installed a few months ago. Last week I programmed 3 systems manually but want to program all future RadioRa2 systems with a PC. I recently took Lutron's course and became certified. They instructed us a little about programming on a PC, but I still have many questions. I plan on meeting someone at the job with a pc and then downloading the software which I have access to, and then hopefully going ahead with the programming. Does anyone know if I need anything other than the pc, the software, and my RadioRa 2 system? Do I need any cords, or is everything done wireless through the internet?

I believe you can use a network crossover cable plugged into the ethernet port of the RA2 repeater. Or, you simply have to get on the homeowners network to communicate with the RA2 repeater.

You can not program a RA2 repeater over the internet (yet) as it uses a UDP broadcast to locate the repeater.
