dynamic NVs present on the device. If you have communication problems, an
error message will be displayed and the procedure cannot continue until
communication is possible.
Load the project which was already prepared or design a new project. If a
prepared project is loaded, the contained dynamic NV data points will be
synchronized with the existing data points, based on the NV name, direction and
type. If there are any data points which cannot be assigned automatically, a
dialog for manual assignment will be displayed.
Now download the project to the device. The device will restart and activate the
new project. It is now ready to use.
12.1.1.2 Static NVs
Projects using static NVs have the advantage that they do not require the network
management to support dynamic NVs. Also, it is possible for such projects to run in a
special mode, where the device is compatible to the older CEA-709.1-A network
management commands, compared to the extended network management defined in the
CEA-709.1-B standard.
To integrate a device using static NVs, the configuration software may be run either as a
plug-in or standalone. The procedure when run as a plug-in is fairly automatic:
Create a new device in your database using the provided device template for the
L-VIS device you are using (FT-10 or IP-10L).
Commission the device, so that the configuration software can communicate with
it.
Run the configuration software as a plug-in on the newly created device and load
the prepared project or design a new project.
Download the project to the device. A warning will appear, notifying the user of
the required database update. The update and the selection of a new model
number are done automatically.
After the device restarted and the database was updated, the device is re-
commissioned and ready to use. Keep in mind that during the download, a new
model number was selected and the project should be saved
after
the download,
so that the model number in the file on the PC matches the one in the device.
If the network management does not support plug-ins or the project is downloaded via
TCP/IP to reduce the download time, the device is usually first programmed standalone and
then integrated using an XIF file:
Connect to the device using TCP/IP or CEA709. The configuration software will
determine the device model and firmware.
Load or design the project, similar to the above procedures.
Open the
Network Settings…
dialog and set the
Program-ID Model Number
to
the desired value. This will be the last byte of the resulting program ID of the
device. Make sure there are no other devices in the same network using the same
model number but a different set of static network variables. Also, zero is
reserved for a device without static NVs, so the valid range is 1 to 254.
If required, activate the
CEA-709.1-A restricted mode
