Configure System Binding Options

Option

Description

IP Device Discovery

This option enables you to specify whether you want the Master to scan your network and locate any devices con-
nected to it.

Enable Auto Shutdown

Auto-Shutdown forces the termination of modules that have lost communication with their respective physical
device. This capability is needed for plug-and-play support.

By default, Auto-Shutdown is enabled. If automatic termination of modules when they have lost communication is
not desired, this selection should be disabled.

Enable Subnet Match

This selection allows you to specify whether or not IP devices should only be detected/discovered if they are on the
same IP Subnet as the Master.

Purge Bound Modules on
Reset

This selection indicates that all modules should be deleted from the bound directory upon the next reboot.
During the binding process, the associated Duet modules for a device are copied from the /unbound directory into a
protected /bound area.
Due to the dynamic nature of Java class loading, it is not safe to delete a running .JAR file. Therefore, this selection
provides the administrator the capability of removing existing modules upon reboot by forcing a re-acquisition of
the module at bind time.
This selection is a one-time occurrence. Upon the next reboot, the selection is cleared.
