The Misc tab of the Light-O-Rama Network Preferences program enables you to configure general communications options. Most Light-O-Rama users will not have need for this tab.
The Misc tab
Comm Listener Port
This section can be used to configure the IP port that the Control Panel listens on for lighting commands. The default port of 8837 should work for nearly all users, but can be changed here if it conflicts with other software on your computer.
Clicking the Reset button will restore the port setting to the default of 8837.
Use Compatibility Mode for Old MC-P Channel Controllers
If you are using Light-O-Rama MC-P controllers purchased prior to November 15, 2003, they you should enable Old MC-P compatibility mode by checking this box. If you do not check this box, then you will see odd behavior on circuits 9 through 16 of such controllers.
Old MC-P compatibility mode only affects controllers on the Regular LOR network; those on Aux networks are unaffected. Therefore, make sure to put all such controllers on your Regular network.
NOTE: Enabling Old MC-P compatibility mode may have a significant effect on communications speed for the regular network. It is therefore strongly recommended that you do not enable it without reason, and that if you do enable it, you should consider moving any other Light-O-Rama controllers (which do not need Old MC-P compatibility mode) off of the Regular network, and onto one or more auxiliary networks.
