Setting the Initial Application Device State and Source of Configuration
Property Values
When the Device Initial State window opens, follow these steps:
1. Specify the initial state of the device applications, source of the configuration property values, and

• Online. Places the device in the online state. The behavior in the
online state depends on the device. A Neuron-hosted device, for
example, will run its application after it has been commissioned.
• Offline. Places the device in the offline state. The behavior in the
offline state depends on the device. A Neuron-hosted device, for
example, will not run its application after it has been
commissioned. This is the default and can be used to bring up a
system incrementally.
When a device is offline, portions of its application may still
function and it will still respond to Online, Wink, and Test
commands. An offline device still receives network variable
updates, but it typically does not process updated network variable
