If that device is found by NexSys at the address you selected, the alert will disappear short-
ly. If the alert remains for several seconds, there is something wrong with the address select-
ed, the device or the network itself.
Duplicate address or out of range address are the most common reasons
for communication errors.

6.7 Venue Bitmap Background
If you have a bitmap file (Windows Paintbrush format .BMP) of the system or venue, you
can place this as the background of the Plan to serve as a graphical reference. Group icons
can be located on top of the bitmap graphic as desired and saved as part of a Scene. Once
saved, all icons will always be located in the same position when they are minimized. If you
would like your venue to be displayed with a “transparent background,” use cyan as the
background color in your bitmap. NexSys will replace cyan with the background color of
the window (i.e. the application workspace color.) The red, green and blue (RGB) compo-
nents of cyan are 0, 255 and 255, respectively.
A venue bitmap can use a lot of memory. For example, a 256 color, 1024x768 pixel bitmap
uses almost 1 megabyte of memory. If your system has a limited amount of RAM (such as
8MB or less) and a large number of devices, you may not want to use a venue bitmap. The
same holds true for other Windows programs such as screen savers, elaborate desktop
themes, etc.
