The Options tab of the Simple mode of the Light-O-Rama Network Preferences program enables you to configure various general communications options.
The Options tab
List Networks in Channel Configuration
Although Light-O-Rama supports up to sixteen separate networks of Light-O-Rama controllers, the needs of many users will be adequately met with a single network. If this is the case for you, you may wish to turn off this checkbox. Doing so will simplify using the Sequence Editor by disabling various dropdown boxes which allow you to assign a network to a channel (such as on the Channel Configuration screen or the Channel Settings dialog). Instead, the Regular network will automatically be used.
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.
