Echelon DM-21 Device Manager - Manual (Page 68)

5-16 Installing and Getting Started with the Device Manager Software
• On power-up, the Device Manager will first check its DM Pin Usage
configuration property to determine whether subsystem 0 or a different
subsystem should be used. In Example 3, the DM Pin Usage configuration
property was set to Use IO pins as DB number so that the Device Manager
would select a subsystem based on the 4-bit subsystem selection input. More
information on DM Pin Usage is available in the Device Manager plug-in
description below.
• See Chapter 4 for more information on configuring the 4-bit subsystem
selection input.
Configuring the Device Manager
The Device Manager has many configuration properties that are exposed through
the Device Manager plug-in. The Device Manager plug-in allows parameters to be
set that control (among other things) how often and how quickly the Device
Manager will try to discover and ping devices when the Device Manager is
attached to the network. The available properties are grouped by function and
presented in a tabular format.
To use the Device Manager plug-in right click on the Device Manager device
shape and select Configure from the shortcut menu. This will open a three-tab
dialog box with the heading DM Configuration Dialog. Ensure that the plug-in
was registered when the network was created in step 1; if not, it may be
registered now by using the Register Plug-In tab of the Network Properties dialog
box. Open the Network Properties dialog box by clicking on Network Properties
menu option from the LonMaker menu. The three tabs of this plug-in are
described in the following sections.
