That’s correct.
@William_Knecht , that page on the Jasco site just isn’t written very well.
Some of the parameters, but not all, allow you to set a different behavior for a regular network command and for an “all on” command.
The use case most commonly applies to dimmers. Typically if you send an all on command it’s some kind of emergency situation and you want all the lights to come on to full brightness immediately, rather than your usual fade in or A light that typically is set to only come on to 50%.
So if you look under, for example, ramp rate, you’ll see that you can set three different parameters: one for what will happen if the dimmer switch is physically used at the wall, one for what will happen if there’s a normal network command addressed to that individual switch, and one for what will happen if the switch receives and “all on“ command.
Many parameters, like loadsensing, don’t distinguish between these three use cases because it just doesn’t make sense. ( in the case of loadsensing, for example, that only applies when the switch on the lamp is being turned manually.)
So to be honest I’m not quite sure what they were trying to say by that very first paragraph on that Jasco page. but the point is just that you need to make sure that you’ve researched all the parameters, because some might apply only to manual manipulation of the device, others will apply to normal network commands, and still others can be used for the “all on“ situation. If you only set the parameter for the “all on“ situation then you won’t get the behavior you want for an ordinary directed network command.
I hope that was clear, I know it’s sort of a confusing situation.
A good example of a use case for “all on“ would be when the smoke detectors alarm. Then you might want to turn on all the lights in the house to full brightness as part of your emergency response.






But zwave does allow you to set exceptions, which is what the parameter for all on behavior is for. for example, maybe you have a light above a Fishtank and you don’t want to ever turn it on to 100% brightness because it would startle the fish and there’s no point in doing that even if there’s a smoke alarm. 
So zwave does let you say that one particular device should ignore an “all on“ command. Hence the individual parameters.
But a lot of people never use it. Still, you need to know that it’s there if you are trying to set the ramp rate parameters for the other two situations so you find the right parameter for what you want to do.
