If communication is established, the target indicator will show the mode of the controller
Target: yy(R)
as shown in the status section above in this chapter, section I3 configurator Status Bar.
If the controller is not communicating, ensure the target ID is set correctly. The
Target ID
allows directing
communications to a particular unit when multiple units are connected via an iCAN network. Units without
iCAN network ports respond to any network ID and do not require the ID to be configured.
To change the I3N target ID in I3 configurator, go to
Controller
Set Local Network ID
