Hi all,

We have multiple masters in the same area, which use identical settings to open a channel.
Currently a slave, when it opens a channel, connects to one or the other.
However when the slave opens two channels, it only connects to one master.

Is it possible to connect to both masters?

For multiple masters to be distinguishable they must set the device number to a different value. Device type being the same is how you indicate they are the same type of device. Note that device number can be extended in the transmission type bit field to a total of 20 bits.

If you have multiple master channels established by the same device, they should be different device types, but with the same device number.

Thank you for your response, I will assign a DeviceNumber to the Master Channel, and look for a wildcard on the Slave side and post my findings.
