Matrix: How to trigger a remote control (CTL) on another matrix

I have a linked matrix system

Matrix # 1 has the main user panel

Matrix #2 has some remote 4wires that I want to add into a Partyline (PL) via a route

I want to trigger the route by pressing a key on the Main user panel on system #1

My problem is I cannot add the 4wire to the Partyline (PL) or trigger the control remotely

Basically, I want control #1 (on matrix #1) to trigger control #1 (on matrix# 2)

Answer:

There are couple of ways to solve this .

The trick is to create all the controls and actions in matrix #2 and then use a key on matrix #1 to trigger a secondary action (sys2-CTL) that is associated with a port or group in matrix #2

Option A (simplest)

create the route and controls in matrix #2

Example: A 4wire port on matrix #2 is listening to a PL

When using routes the source must always be a “local” port / group, PL etc. .. the destination can be a local or remote as shown below.

2. add the route into a control on matrix #2

3. program a key on a panel on matrix #1 and make a stacked key

pressing the key will trigger both matrix #1 and matrix #2 controls

you can make the stacked key with just the controls for both matrix #1 / #2

Option B (complicated - Seek advice from Clear-Com Application Engineering team first)

if you need to use GPI rather than a key on panel then you need to use a control macro.

A control macro is the command line version of a Logic Maestro diagram

here is an an example of a control macro , where control “main control” (on matrix#1) will trigger a remote control “Graham” (on matrix #2) by triggering the correct CARD/PIN # for the control “Graham”

using ClearCom.ScriptHost;	
using ClearCom.ScriptLibrary;
using ClearCom.Entities;
using EMS.MapClient;
using EMS.MapClient.Tables;
using Shared.Enums;
using Action = EMS.MapClient.Tables.Actions.Action;
namespace CustomScript
{
public class UserScript : ScriptBase
  {
public override void OnUserStart()
    {
// this control will use a control in sys 1 to trigger a control in sys 2	

		//declare sys 2 
		int rsys =2;
		
		//get sys 1 control , select configuration entities, GPSF, find control and double click on it 
		
	ControlMacro sys1ctl= ControlMacro.GetControl("main ", "ctl  ");

		
		//list the sys 2 control Talk and listen  card / pin number 
		// control PRCHE1 = 28.3
	//	control PRCHE2 = 28.6
		// Graham = 28.9
	
		
		// variable sys1ctl will trigger the remote card/pin(2)
		// check there are no complie errors in the bottom window 
		
		
		sys1ctcl.Triggers(ControlActions.DCCAction(28,9,rsys));
		
	}
  }
}
