Each section of the New Devices dialog contains input fields and option lists for defining a device. All
parameters of a discrete device can be defined on this form. Analog devices require additional configuration on a
related form. Analog devices are covered in the next section. Each feature of the New Device dialog is
described below.
Device ID
The address of the device, as previously described, is entered here. The node number must be entered as it is
defined at the local area server or BCI where the node is attached. The subnode number (if needed) must match
the number of the node monitored on the other network or the account number assigned in the digital receiver. If
no subnode is needed zeroes will be used. The address field is used to enter the eight character device ID.
Site ID
The Site ID is automatically read from the site in which you are currently working.
Display ID
The display ID is an optional alias address for workstation display. This ID is definable as any logical address
desired up to 14 characters. The operator can toggle between the absolute address and the alias address for
workstation display in the View menu. The pipe (|) character and single quote (') are not valid and are automati-
cally removed from any entries.
Autonavigate
The autonavigate option determines whether the screen containing the device appears automatically during an off-
normal event.
Discrete / Analog
This option defines the device as discrete or analog. Analog devices require additional configuration. For more
information on defining analog devices, refer to the next section.
Symbol
This area displays the graphic symbol selected for device display. To select a new symbol click on one of current
symbols. This brings up the Device Library . Click on the desired device for display. Most devices have two
symbols, one for normal status and one for off-normal status. Selecting one symbol of the pair automatically selects
both.
