This option affects copy operations when generating new Group Addresses in Middle Groups. When enabled, complete rooms or lines including devices are copied, but central Group Addresses like these are not moved. This makes it possible to move Group Addresses which are internal in rooms but still keep the central functions. |

| Security |
For KNX Data Secure, this defines the desired security options of the selected group and all its subordinates. Once it has been set, it is no longer possible to individually modify the 'Security' setting for any subordinate groups. For setting the 'Security' setting on Group Addresses see here. |
