Feature Description
Dynamic Device Discovery links (Cont.): • View Discovered Devices page displays a listing of all the
dynamic devices that have been discovered within the system.
- After confirming the presence of those previously coded
Dynamic Devices within the Manage Device Bindings page,
navigate to the View Discovered Devices page to continue the
process of detecting Dynamic Devices which have been
detected by the system, and then assign Module/drivers to
those devices via the View Discovered Devices page.
Configure Binding Options: This section contains configuration settings regarding the DDD
process.
Enable Auto Bind • This selection allows an end-user to toggle the state of the
automatic binding for DDD (On/Off).
• When auto-binding is enabled, the Master automatically
attempts to connect any newly discovered device with an
associated application device (defined in the running NetLinx
application).
• Auto-binding can only be accomplished if the Master's
firmware determines a one-to-one correlation between the
newly discovered device and a single entry within the list of
defined application devices (accessed by pressing the
Manage Device Bindings button at the top of the page).
• For example, if the application only has one VCR defined and
a VCR is detected in the system, auto-binding can then be
accomplished.
- If there were two VCRs defined within the application,
auto-binding could not be completed due to the lack of
a clearly defined one-to-one correspondence.
• When the Enable Auto Bind option is not selected, no
auto-binding activity takes place and all binding of the newly
discovered devices must be accomplished manually via the
Web control interfaceManage Other Devices - Manage Device
Bindings section on page 85.
Enable Subnet Match This selection allows an end-user to toggle whether or not
IP devices should only be detected/discovered if they are on the
same IP Subnet as the Master.
Purge Bound Modules on Reset • This selection indicates that all modules should be deleted
from the /bound directory upon the next reboot.
• During the binding process, the associated Duet modules for a
device are copied from the /unbound directory into a
protected /bound area.
• Due to the dynamic nature of Java class loading, it is not safe
to delete a running .JAR file. Therefore, this selection provides
the administrator the capability of removing existing modules
upon reboot by forcing a re-acquisition of the module at bind
time.
• This selection is a one-time occurrence. Upon the next reboot,
the selection is cleared.
Save Settings Clicking this button causes the current selected checkbox values
to be saved into the system.
