Running Two Versions of 3DM

Although you can view information about 7000- and 8000-series controllers in 3DM 2, some features of version 2 are only available for the 9000-series, because they require that the firmware contain associated capabilities. When this is the case, a message appears in the 3DM page indicating that the feature is not available for the current controller.

The scheduling feature is one that works differently in 9000-series controllers and earlier controllers. If you want to set the schedule for background tasks for a 7000- or 8000-series controller, you must do so by using 3DM version 1.x.

If you have multiple controllers in the same system, and the controllers are from different series, it is possible to install and run both 3DM 2 and 3DM version 1.x on the same system.

Note: If two different versions of 3DM are both running, they have to be listening on different ports.

In addition, alarms cannot be captured by both versions.
