ATTENTION: IB-Tool only works with a gateway to the lighting control system that translates commands for use in the LUXMATE world. IB-Tool cannot be used without this gateway. Description: The Zumtobel IB-Tool is the perfect tool for the basic commissioning of your lighting solution. This easy-to-use app helps configure your Zumtobel lighting solution quickly, easily and reliably. It makes easy, wireless addressing of all LUXMATE outputs in the building possible and allows for the assignment of control units to the outputs. It is thus the commissioning tool of choice for service technicians and facility managers. All addressing and/or the entire system can be checked for functionality and correct installation at the touch of a button. IB-Tool also provides the option of operating all actuators and permanently saving their scene settings. IB-Tool can also provide a range of selected status information that accelerates the entire commissioning process and makes it more user-friendly. The app is optimised for the iPod Touch and iPhone in order to ensure the best flexibility and freedom of movement possible. You can move freely throughout the building during the commissioning process, meaning you always have optimal mobile access to your lighting control system.
