Configuring Online Communication
9–11
When the owner exits the network or goes offline, another terminal can clear
the ownership of the inactive node and gain access to an owned processor
file.
In this example, the SLC 5/02 processor with node address 5 is owned by the
APS terminal with address 0, which is no longer online. Clear node 0’s
ownership of the processor and set the HHT, node 1, as owner of node 5.
1. Begin at the Who display. To indicate ownership by a programmer, the
node address of the owner is included in parentheses with the maximum
node address.
