    Now we have the actions defined as packets we need to set one of the DRB buttons to call one of these actions:

    With the DRB the buttons they are linked to the external switches so you'll get a warning if you try to Reflex control the buttons.



    Select the Reflex for the Switches which will open a new dialogue box.

    In the new dialogue box you need to select the action that triggers the response, normally this is "-ve edge trigger" (which is the button being pressed) and this then triggers a "User Defined Response Packet" so check these two boxes. Then hit the "Vector Setup" button.



    Again a new dialogue box appears and you can now select a Button as the Trigger and the action can be added with the Add button.

    When you select the Add button you should see a list of the default packets that were created in the previous post. You will want to add one of the toggle relay options depending on your wiring. You'll end up with the dialogue box as below:



    Now we have the module setup as we want in Cortex but we need to actually send the programme to the DRB module.



    You can only programme a module at the top-level of the module (better explained in the picture). Select Reflex for the DRB module which, guess what, displays a dialogue box.

    You'll see a button "Program this Node" which you need to select.

    That's it!

    However, some gotchas you should be aware of when trying to test:
    - It is easy to get the physical wiring confused with the logical in Cortex so button 1 maybe button 2 and relay 1 maybe relay 2 so swap things over in Reflex and re-program the node.

    - Reflex operation won't work if Cortex is operating as it will be sending packets. So once you program the node to test; stop and exit Cortex and then remove the power to your Idratek network. Give it 15 seconds and power u the Idratek network
