55.5Menus

The Discovery window contains a menu bar by which additional functionality is accessed.

55.5.1 CobraNet

•Update Firmware...

Updates the firmware on the selected CobraNet device(s). Discovery will first upload the existing firmware in order to identify it from a database of known firmware versions. The Firmware Update dialog is then displayed.

Firmware updates are conducted from binary files located in the Database location.

CobraNet Discovery does not ship with firmware files. Firmware must be obtained from the respective CobraNet equipment manufacturer. For the Praesideo CobraNet Interface the latest firmware version can be found on the Praesideo DVD in \Tools\CobraNet\Discovery\Firmware.

•New IP Address...

Assigns a new IP address to the selected device. This may be used to assign IP addresses when Auto Assignment is disabled or to override the IP address assignments given by the Auto Assign mechanism.

•Close

Closes and exits the application.

55.5.2 Edit

•Copy

Copies the contents of the Discovery window to the clipboard as comma separated values. Information may then be pasted into a text editing program, saved with a .csv file extension, and then opened in a spreadsheet application.

•Select all

Selects (highlights) all devices in the Discovery window. Selected devices are eligible for Update Firmware, New IP Address and Report operations.

55.5.3 View

•Refresh

Clears all data from the list and restarts the discovery process. This causes all counter values to be reset to 0. Any non-communicating devices (those with a red X in their S column) will be removed from the discovery window.

•Column Chooser...

Opens the Column Chooser dialog.

55.5.4 Tools

•Options...

Opens the Options dialog used to set options for configuring the CobraNet Discovery program.

•Configure…

Opens the Configuration dialog used to control and configure CobraNet interfaces. See the CobraNet Control and Configuration section (55.10).

•Report…

This is used to generate .cvs spreadsheet compatible report files showing current status and configuration of one or more CobraNet interfaces. See the Report Functions section (55.9).

55.5.5 Help

•About CobraNet Discovery…

Displays CobraNet Discovery copyright and version information.

55.6 Firmware Update dialog

This dialog box is invoked from the CobraNet menu bar. This function is seldom used for Praesideo CobraNet Interfaces, as the unit is delivered with the latest firmware installed. Therefore this function is not described here. For more information, please check the dedicated CobraNet Discovery user manual that can be found in the CobraNet Discovery program folder after installation (English only).
