NetLinx Integrated Controllers (Firmware v4)- WebConsole & Programming Guide
System - Manage NetLinx
The
Manage NetLinx
tab displays a list of NetLinx devices connected to the Master, and indicates device status for each (FIG. 64).
The table on this page consists of five columns:
Refresh List
: Click this button to regenerate the device listing by looking for broadcasting devices. This causes the Master to
send out a message asking devices to resend their NDP device announcements. The list is then updated as those devices
send back their announcements to the Master. The information displayed can not only include Masters and devices on this
system but Masters and devices on other systems as well. By default, the target Master always appears in the list.
NOTE:
Due to system delays, message collisions, and multicast routing, not all devices may respond immediately.
Clear List
: Click this button causes the entries to be temporarily deleted from the page, either until you refresh the list
(using the
Refresh List
button), or until the Master begins to detect any multi-cast transmissions from System Devices.
