Saving Device Lists

After a list of MES1A/B devices has been discovered on the network, you can save the list, including details such as the Device Name, Group, Comments and IP Address.

To save a Device List, On the File menu, select Save or Save As, type in a file name of your choice and click Save.

Note: The configuration of the MES1A/B is NOT saved using this method. To store the configuration in the MES1A/B, on the Telnet Configuration Menu, set up the configuration, then type S at the Default settings, Save, Quit without Save prompt. To store the configuration in a Setup Record file see the procedure later in this chapter.

Opening Device Lists

To open an existing Device List, on the File menu, select Open. In the Open dialog box that appears, select or type in a file name and click Open.

The MES1A/B will search for all devices listed in the Device List file and display them in the Devices Tree. Devices not listed in the Device List file will not be shown. To discover other devices not already on the list you must initiate a search.
