Note: With the server's online full-time operation, these parameters can be changes at any time. If the communications
driver supports multiple device models, the model selection can only be changed if there are currently no client
applications connected to the device. Since the device is being added at this time, any model can be selected. Utilize
the User Manager to restrict access rights to server features and prevent operators from changing parameters.
New Device - ID
The Device ID parameter is used to specify a device's driver-specific station or node. The type of ID entered will vary
depending on the communication driver being used. For example, many communication drivers use a numeric value. As
shown in the image below, when a driver supports a Numeric ID, the menu option allows users to enter a numeric
value. The numeric value's format can be changed to suit the needs of either the application or the communication
driver's characteristics. The format is set by the driver by default. Possible formats include Decimal, Octal and
Hexadecimal.
