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.

NetLinx Device Details

Column

Description

System:

Displays the System value being used by the listed NetLinx Master.

Device:

Displays the assigned device value of the listed unit. This Device entry applies to both the Master and those NDP-capable

devices currently connected to that Master.

Device Type:

Displays a description of the target Master or connected device, and its current firmware version. Example:

NI Master

v3.01.323

File Name:

Displays the program name and/or file resident on the device.

Status:

Indicates the Master or device state:
•

This Master

: Indicates its the target Master currently being used and being browsed to. Its this Master’s web pages

which are currently being viewed.

•

Orphan

: Indicates that the device is currently not yet “bound” or assigned to communicate with a particular Master.

This state shows an adjacent

Bind

button which is used to bind the device to the Master whose web pages are

currently being viewed.

•

Searching

: Indicates that the device is trying to establish communication with it's associated Master.

•

Bound

: Indicates that the device has established communication with it's associated Master. This state shows an

adjacent

Unbind

button which is used to release/disassociate the device from communicating with its current Master.

•

Lost

: Indicates that the device has tried to establish communication with it's associated or “bound” Master, but was

after a period of time, unable to establish communication.
