Also note that when you replace the Central Controller, device properties relative to connection type
may be lost.
All Central Controllers are added to the system with the same default Connection Settings:
Connection Type = TCP/IP
IP Address/Host Name = ( none )
IP Port Number = 1319
Ping For Availability = true
Requires Authentication = false
If any of the settings were changed before the Central Controller was replaced, they will have to be re-
entered (since the replacement Controller will apply the default settings).
This also holds true for the System Number assignment, which will return to the default
setting of 1.
Note that any Comments entered will carry over after replacing the Controller.
Replacing System Devices
VA supports replacing a device in the System Diagram with another device of the same type.
To replace a device with another similar device from the Toolbox (Devices tab):
1.
Click and drag a device from the Devices tab of the Toolbox into the System Diagram.
2.
Position the selected device directly on top of the device that you want to replace.
3.
Assuming the devices are of the same device type, when the replacement device is positioned
correctly to replace the existing one, the Replace icon is displayed on the cursor. When the Replace
Icon appears, release the device that you are dragging, and it will replace the existing one (FIG. 36).
If the devices are not compatible for replacement, the cursor icon indicates that replacement is not
allowed (FIG. 37).
