New Device Options
App Devices Specifies the initial state of a new application device after it has been
commissioned. You have three choices:
• 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 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.
• Disable. Disables the device’s application. The device
application will remain disabled, even if the device is reset. For
a device to be disabled, it must contain a Node Object functional
block. If Disable is selected and the device does not contain a
Node Object functional block, the device is placed offline. As
with offline operation, portions of a disabled device’s
application may continue to function.
