DEVICE HOLDOFF ONOFF

Sets the master to holdoff devices (i.e. does not allow them to report

 

 

 

ONLINE) unitl the NetLinx program has completed executing the

 

 

 

DEFINE_START section.

 

 

 

If set to ON, any messages to devices in DEFINE_START will be lost,

 

 

 

however, this prevents incoming messages being lost in the master

 

 

 

upon startup. When DEVICE_HOLDOFF is ON, you must use ONLINE
