to rebind it, and if the device becomes correctly configured, it will then
communicate properly.
If a device that needs to be replaced is still communicating, it should be
unbound. Otherwise, it will be necessary to rebuild the network image for
Binding View to discover that it has been removed. An unbound device stops
communicating and allows a new device to be bound in its place.
It is good practice to turn the power off while detaching and attaching devices to
the network. Be sure to keep power on the service tool computer. After power is
restored to the network, the reconnect function in Binding View restores
communication with the network. If the service tool computer is turned off, you
must restart TechView and Binding View.
If a device is not communicating, the binding function displays a window to
request manual selection of the device to be bound. Previously-selected devices
are deselected when the function starts. When manual selection is confirmed,
exactly one device must be selected; if it is the correct type, it is bound. If the
