This tab represents the only way to change the System Number associated to the
active on-board NI Master. The Master must have its power cycled to incorporate
the new System number, as often a simple reboot via Studio will not be enough
to incorporate this new number).
If the NetLinx device does not appear within the OnLine Tree tab, make sure that the
Integrated Controller’s on-board Master System Number (from within the Device
Addressing tab) is correctly assigned.
If there is a problem, use a system value of zero (0) on the NetLinx device.
The Master is set by default to DEVICE 0. Connected NetLinx device addresses
can only be changed through the Protected Setup page. The new address is
reflected within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window only after the devices
are rebooted and the system is refreshed.
The system value on a Modero touch panel cannot be changed from the Device
Addressing dialog box and MUST be altered through the panel Protected Setup
page.
