2. Online registration
Select the device in the Segment Viewer (Built-in Connection mode) and obtain information
from the device to register.
There are two types of registration; New registration and Overwrite registration (The latter
overwrites the existing device maintenance information with information obtained from the
connected device).
Overwrite registration applies to devices registered offline.
As for devices that are before delivery or actual installation, it is possible to register manually or
by import, and then register by overwrite after the connected device is delivered.
