System Settings - Manage NetLinx Devices

To access this page, click on the Manage NetLinx Devices link (from within the System Settings section of the Navigation frame). These pages (FIG. 59) have some additions that have been incorporated as part of build 323 (or higher). These features include the display the device status as well as some background color changes which indicate system groupings. These enhancements are visual changes which allow for easier recognition of the information on a visual basis. IP connections are then able to utilize a network’s higher layers of multicast to broadcast their existence.

Description

Clicking this button causes the entries to be temporarily deleted from the page until either the user chooses to refresh the entries (using the Refresh List button) or the Master begins to detect any multi-cast transmissions as devices send out their announcements.

•Clicking this button allows the target Master to regenerate the listing by looking for broadcasting devices.

•The button causes the Master to send out a message asking devices to resend their NDP device announcements. The list is then updated as those devices send back their announcements to the “listening” Master.

•Due to system delays, message collisions, and multicast routing, not all devices may respond immediately.

•The information displayed can not only include Masters and devices on this system but Masters and devices on other systems as well. By default, the target Master always appears in the list.

A large number of NDP-capable devices on the network can result in a large amount of network traffic occurring at the same time.
