Abstract: An elevator system has a control system linked to a plurality of functional components and a plurality of individually configurable user interfaces. Each of the user interfaces has a light detection unit with a light sensor. A portable configuration device has a human-machine interface, a light source and a data processing unit that codes data entered by a user via the human-machine interface for controlling the light source to generate a sequence of lights of different brightnesses. This sequence of lights is detected by the light detection unit and converted into an item of information used to configure the user interface, for example, to transmit to the control system a position at which the user interface is located. Thus, the control system can clearly identify user interfaces that are connected in series.

Abstract: An elevator arrangement includes a car, an elevator control having car position current information, a plurality of fixtures, at least one sound generator at one of the car and each of the fixtures, and at least one sound detector at the other of the car and each of the fixtures. A fixture position learning procedure includes: travelling the car to and, preferably, stopping at each of the floors; at each floor stop, generating a sound signal from the sound generator at the car or the fixture at the floor stop, detecting the sound signal using the sound detector, determining a position information for the fixture at the floor stop by assigning information on a current position of the car from the elevator control, and storing the position information for subsequent identification purposes, whereby the identity/position of each of the fixtures is determined in the automatically performed learning procedure.
