Configuring associated devices
You can amend the configuration settings for associated devices, such as ESDs, if required.
To amend the configuration settings for ESDs, for example, do the following:
Select System > General options > Hotel tab.
In the Associated devices panel, select the associated device to be configured and, then, click on Show details. The Associated device dialog box is displayed.

You cannot amend the default characters in the Prefix field. The prefix is included at the beginning of ESD entries for hotel rooms and suites in Space, for example, @1_101.
Enter the required time parameters in the Disconnection timeout field by clearing the default numerical value and typing a new value, and selecting either the seconds or minutes option from the drop-down list. These parameters define the period for which the ESD remains active after you remove a key from it.
Clear the default value in the Increased disconnection timeout field and type a new value, if required. This feature is designed for disabled or 'hands full' users or guests. The ESD remains active for the increased period that you specify after users or guests remove their keys from it. You must also enable this option in the user's or guest's profile.
Select the ESD with temporized AC activation checkbox, if required. This sets the air conditioning in the room to activate automatically for a certain period at specified time intervals. Note that access to the AC is controlled by the system-generated ESD_#2 entry. This is one of the outputs that activate the relays for ESDs. See Associated device lists for more information.
Type a value in the Period and Time fields. These values control the automatic activation of the AC. For example, if you type '60' in the Period field and '5' in the Time field, the AC is automatically activated for five minutes every hour.
Click OK.
Click Save.
