Network Wizard
Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave
scanner. The most practical method is through the
Net-Autoset
procedure. See par. 8.2.3 for
alternative address assignment methods.
Once all addresses have been assigned, the Network Wizard is to be used when one or
more scanner addresses and labels need to be modified.
1. Click on the
button to open the Network Wizard dialog box:
a. if the slave scanners have already been configured and wired to the network, click on
the Autodetect button to start a polling procedure of the current network. All slave
scanners found will be represented in the “Current Devices” area. Then, select the
desired slave scanner from the “Current Devices” area and click on the
icon (or
drag and drop) to transfer it to the “Requested Devices” area where your network
customization is defined. The following dialog box will appear allowing (if necessary)
to change the slave address ("Available Device" field) and label ("Description" field):
b. if the slave scanners have not been configured and wired to the network, click on the
icon to add a new device defining its address and model. The added slave
scanner will be displayed in the “Requested Devices” area. This option in any case
requires that all slave scanners have their address set before the network can
function.
