AS-I ADDRESS (AS-i address assistant)
Main menu || SETUP ||
AS-I ADDRESS
||
The AS-i address assistant assists the user to quickly set up an AS-i network.
Once the AS-i configuration has been stored, a new AS-i slave with address 0
can be used to assign the correct address.
Selecting "Assistant on" or "Assistant off" switches the AS-i address assistant on
or off. The current state of the AS-i address assistant is displayed:
Procedure:
1.
Store AS-i configuration in the device. This can easily be done by using the
Windows software AS-i Control Tools (Master | Store configuration for the
AS-i Master ...), or directly in the advanced display mode.
2.
All AS-i slaves have to be addressed to 0 or to the desired address. The
slaves must be disconnected from the AS-i network.
3.
Start the AS-i address assistant.
4.
Now the AS-i slaves are connected to the AS-i network one at the time in
the order specified by the AS-i address assistant. The last line displayed for
the AS-i address assistant shows which AS-i slave will be connected next.
