Note that in this example, the currently active Master’s Status description reads - This Master and that the sub-devices are Bound to communicate with that Master. Even though they are currently bound, clicking the adjacent Unbind button will release them from communication with a particular Master.

2.Click the "-" icon to collapse the particular Master’s listing.

Manage NetLinx Devices - Binding/Unbinding - Explained

From below the Status column (which displays the Master or device state) you can determine whether a device is Bound or Orphaned. For more information, refer to the section on page 82.

A Bound device is one which has established communication with it's associated Master. This device was previously bound to communicate with a specific Master.

-This state shows an adjacent Unbind button which is used to release/disassociate the device from its current Master.

-Once this button is pressed, the device then shows up as Orphaned (within the Status column).

An Orphan is an NDP-capable device which has not yet been assigned to communicate (bound) with a specific Master.

-This state shows an adjacent Bind button which is used to then bind the device to the Master whose pages are currently being viewed (displayed as This Master

within the Status column).

- Once this button is pressed, the device then shows up as Bound (within the Status column).
