15.5.2.1.1 Configuration Section
MAC Address:
Read only; displays the MAC address of the CobraNet device.
IP Address:
Read only, displays the assigned IP address of the CobraNet device.
sysName:
Editable; a meaningful name can be given to a CobraNet device here. The default setting will be the name of the
CobraNet device; for exampl
e “Hono Mini CobraNet 8.8M.”
sysLocation:
Editable; a physical location can be listed here for ease of reference. The default setting is blank.
sysDescription:

same network can each operate at a different sample rate.
Latency:
Choose between 1.33, 2.67, or 5.33 ms (default setting).
Persistence:
Default is ‘off.”). In most real world deployments the persistence bit should be set to on so that the Hono Mini
CobraNet device will remember its CobraNet settings and IP address in the event of a power cycle. If the
persistence bit is left off, bundle numbers, sysName, and sysLocation will be set back to default values on power
cycle.
Conductor Priority:
Editable; set a low number to ensure the CobraNet device will always be a Performer (it will never be a
Conductor) or set it to a high number to ensure it will always be a Conductor (it will never be a Performer). The
following are Cirrus numbering conventions:
• 0 = never conductor
• 32 = normal conductor priority (the CobraNet device will either be the Conductor or the Performer)
• 128 = high conductor priority (the CobraNet device will be the Conductor)
Conductor Status:
Read only; displays if the CobraNet device is a Conductor or Performer.
Error Code:
Displays CobraNet-
specific error information using Cirrus’ error numbering conventions.
Count:
Displays the number of errors that have occurred on the device. Some errors result from normal operation;
disconnecting cables, rerouting, etc. The text field to the right of Count displays the Cirrus-related text.
