Description

 

 

 

Dynamic Device Discovery links (Cont.):

View Discovered Devices page displays a listing of all the

 

dynamic devices that have been discovered within the system.

 

- After confirming the presence of those previously coded

 

Dynamic Devices within the Manage Device Bindings page,

 

navigate to the View Discovered Devices page to continue the

 

process of detecting Dynamic Devices which have been

 

detected by the system, and then assign Module/drivers to

 

those devices via the View Discovered Devices page.

 

 

 

Configure Binding Options:

This section contains configuration settings regarding the DDD

 

process.

Enable Auto Bind

 

 

• This selection allows an end-user to toggle the state of the

 

automatic binding for DDD (On/Off).

When auto-binding is enabled, the Master automatically attempts to connect any newly discovered device with an associated application device (defined in the running NetLinx application).

Auto-binding can only be accomplished if the Master's firmware determines a one-to-one correlation between the newly discovered device and a single entry within the list of defined application devices (accessed by pressing the Manage Device Bindings button at the top of the page).

For example, if the application only has one VCR defined and a VCR is detected in the system, auto-binding can then be accomplished.

-If there were two VCRs defined within the application, auto-binding could not be completed due to the lack of a clearly defined one-to-one correspondence.

When the Enable Auto Bind option is not selected, no

auto-binding activity takes place and all binding of the newly discovered devices must be accomplished manually via the Web control interfaceManage Other Devices - Manage Device Bindings section on page 85.

Enable Subnet Match

This selection allows an end-user to toggle 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.

Save Settings

 

Clicking this button causes the current selected checkbox values

 

to be saved into the system.
