System Overview
The
Manage System
page is accessed by clicking on the
System
button. This page allows you to view and configure various aspects
of the NetLinx System, separated by four tabs:
Manage System
- Options in this tab allow you to view/change the Master’s
System Number
, Control/Emulate system
devices, perform Diagnostics, configure Server settings and set the time/date via the Clock Manager. See the
section on page 44 for details.
Manage License
- Options in this tab allow you to add device licenses (Product ID and License Key) to the Master. See the
section on page 58 for details.
Manage NetLinx
- Options in this tab allow you to view a detailed list of NetLinx devices connected to the Master. See the
section on page 60 for details.
Manage Devices
- Options in this tab allow you to view the details of additional attached devices (including module-
supported third-party devices). See the
section on page 61 for details.
The default view for the System option is Manage System / System Number (FIG. 47).
System - Manage System
The
Manage System
tab contains links to several different System-related configuration pages, as described in the following
subsections:
Manage System - System Number
The options on this page display the current System Number assigned to the target Master (read-only), and allow you to change the
system number (see FIG. 47).
Changing the System Number On the Master
1.
Enter the new numeric value into the
New System Number
field.
2.
Click the
Accept
button to save this new value to the system on the target Master. The message; "
System number changed to
X. Master must be rebooted for the change to take effect.
", reminds you that the Master must be rebooted before the new
settings take effect.
3.
Click
Reboot
to reboot the target Master. The Device Tree then reads "
Rebooting...
". After a few seconds, the Device Tree
refreshes with the current system information (including the updated system number assignment). If the Device Tree does not
refresh within a few minutes, press the
Refresh
button and reconnect to the Master.
Using Multiple NetLinx Masters
When using more than one Master, each unit must be assigned to a separate System value. A Master’s System value can be changed
but
it’s device Address must always be set to zero (00000)
. The Device Addressing dialog will not allow you to alter the NetLinx
Master address value.
Example: Using an NI-2100 and NI-4100:
The NI-2100 could be assigned to
System 1
(with an Address of 00000).
The NI-4100 could be assigned to
System 2
(with an Address of 00000).
