Depending on what camera it's attached to, perhaps the camera supports a 
Canon remote trigger?
BTW, if you run the on-camera 550 on TTL, while to off-camera monolights 
are on manual (which is the only option for them) you should be aware that 
the output of the 550 will vary depending on what's in front of the camera 
while the output of the monolights will not.

Depending on the ratio of output comparing the monolights to the 550, this 
may have an influence on your shooting aperture.l If you're just using the 
550 to trip the monolights, wind it down to minimum and it won't. If you 
need the light from the 550 also, its output will be a consideration.
