2-8 Comparing Network Configurations
2-8-1 Overview
The configuration of a virtual network on the computer can be compared to the
configuration of an actual network. The model numbers of all nodes are also
compared.
Component parameters are not compared.

2-8-2 Procedure
1. Right a network in the Workspace Window and select Connect from the pop-up
menu. Accessing the network will be enabled and the icon to the left will change to
.
If the network has been uploaded but a network address is not displayed (Net(-)
displayed), it will be necessary to select the desired network in the Workspace
Window, right-click, and select
Connect.
2. Right-click the network and select Compare from the pop-up menu.
For an Ethernet network, the following dialog box will be displayed.
Check to confirm that no nodes other than OMRON Ethernet Units or FinsGateway
exist in the same segment, and then click the
OK Button.
!
Caution
Do not use this function if a node exists for something other than an OMRON
Ethernet Unit or FinsGateway within the same segment on Ethernet, and when the
Ethernet network system is in operation. When an Ethernet network configuration
upload is executed, an OMRON FINS command is sent to all nodes in the
segment. Therefore, if a node exists for something other than an OMRON Ethernet
Unit or FinsGateway, the FINS command will not be received at that node and
unexpected operation may occur.
3. The network configuration of the virtual network will be compared to the
configuration of the network with the same network address and the results will be
displayed.
Note: The virtual networks on the computer correspond to actual networks with the same net-
work addresses.
