Hiding device availability

Use the System Design view to hide a device from view in a Navigator. In OS 2.3.0 or later, you may find the Access agent useful for device availability. See “Using and Programming with Agents ” for details. 

Example: Set availability so that the touch screen in the Bedroom cannot control music in the Theater.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following devices are added and identified to the network:

  • Controller
  • Digital audio
  • Navigator

  1. Start Composer Pro and connect to a Director.

  3. Go to the Navigator tab in the Properties tab.
  4. Select Music in the Menu box, and then click Modify.
