Offline feature configuration preparation
When a device or network is not present, it is still possible to prepare a feature
configuration. This might be useful when you would like to prepare a feature
configuration file that can be read at a later time, and written to the device when it is
connected. To make a configuration you need to add one or more virtual devices.
To add a virtual device, right-click
All devices
in the
Network
and choose
Add virtual device
.
Alternatively choose
Actions
Add virtual device
.
A dialog window pops up that lists all devices
supported by MultiOne. Make a selection and click
OK
. An item called
Virtual devices
appears in the
Network
. Expand it by clicking the
+
sign to see the
list of virtual devices. Note that virtual devices do
not have a short address and MultiOne will show
Broadcast
on the location of the
short address. Virtual devices can only be
addressed using broadcast commands.
Select a virtual device and select the
Device
features
tab. The device features are shown
as if the device was physically connected. Configure the features as desired, and then
save the feature configuration to a file. You have now made a feature configuration
file without being connected a device.
