State Set the state of the device application after the replacement device
has been commissioned. You have four choices:
• Default. The state of the replacement device’s application is

Options box in the Network Properties: Device options
category. If the device was previously commissioned and is
able to communicate, the default state is the state of the device
before the current operation.
• Online. Places the replacement 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 replacement 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 values or send network variable updates.
Resetting an offline device makes it go online, unless the device
is in the hard offline state, in which case it will remain offline
after a reset.
