The LED Device Identify Feature When working online with a Pro64 network, the LED Device Identify feature causes the front panel LEDs on a device to flash to help identify it, a function that is useful during system setup and firmware updates, especially when multiple devices of the same type are installed in the same location. The LED Device Identify feature is available from the Device menu or via a rightclick on any row of the Network Overview. To activate the LED Device Identify feature for one or more Pro64 devices, first select the device(s) in the Network Overview. Then do one of the following: choose led devIce IdentIFy on from the Device menu or right click one of the selected rows and choose led devIce IdentIFy on from the contextual menu. Right-click to access the menu (left). When the LED Device Identify function is on, a white icon appears in the Status column of the Network Overview for the selected device. Pro64 Network MaNager User gUide 52 To turn off the LED Device Identify feature for an individual Pro64 device, select the device in the Network Overview and then choose led devIce IdentIFy oFF after rightclicking in the device's row to select it. To clear all front panel flashing related to use of the LED Device Identify feature, rightclick anywhere in the Network Overview and choose all led devIce IdentIFy oFF from the contextual menu. Use the shortcut Ctrl+I to activate the LED Device Identify feature and Ctrl+Shift+I to clear it. Device Column The Device column lists all Pro64 devices in the network by type. Numbers can be appended to the device type when multiple devices of the same type are part of a network (6416m #1, 6416m #2, etc. ) by changing the device's Numeric ID. Click the column heading to sort devices by type. Numeric ID Each Pro64 device in a network can be identified with a number (up to 3 digits). This unique ID is stored in the hardware itself and can only be changed from the Pro64 Network Manager application. When new Pro64 devices are added to a network they do not have a Numeric ID associated with them. In the Network Overview and Device Windows they are displayed as (New Device). Devices without Numeric IDs are identified as New Device To set (or change) a Numeric ID for a Pro64 device, select a device (6416m, 6416o, etc. ) in the Network Overview and choose edIt numerIc Id. . . from the Device menu or rightclick on the row and choose the edIt numerIc Id. . . command from the contextual menu. Right-click to access the Numeric ID menu item In the Numeric ID dialog box enter a number from 1999 and then click the ok button to close the dialog and apply the new ID number. Pro64 Network MaNager User gUide 53 Enter numbers from 1-999 The Numeric ID is stored in the Pro64 device itself until changed, and retains the setting as new projects are created and edited. P Note: Since the Numeric ID is stored in the hardware itself, it is possible to give two Pro64 devices the same Numeric ID. To avoid confusion when working with a network, it is suggested that each Pro64 device of the same type be given a unique Numeric ID. Control Master and Clock Master Indicators Two special icons are used to indicate the network's Control Master and Clock Master devices. A red square icon indicates the Control Master and a yellow square icon is used for the Clock Master. 6416dio #1 is the network's Control Master and Clock Master.
