Changing the Device Address on a NetLinx Device
1.
Access the Device Addressing dialog (FIG. 25) by either one of these two methods:
Right-click on any system device listed in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace and
select Device Addressing (from the pop-up list).
Select Diagnostics > Device Addressing from the Main menu.
2.
Select the Change Device checkbox from the Device to Change section.
3.
Enter both the Current and New Device address values for the target NetLinx device.
4.
Click the Change Device/System Number button. This configures the specified Master to
accept the new value for the NetLinx device and incorporate the information (the system
information in the Workspace window refreshes and then displays the new information).
5.
Click Done to close the Device Addressing dialog.
6.
Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System
Master to reboot. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during
the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.
7.
Press Done once the Master Reboot Status field reads Reboot of System Complete.
8.
Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The
default System value is one (1).
9.
Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new
connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system.
10. Use Ctrl+S to save your existing NetLinx Project with the new changes.

This dialog represents the only way to change the device value of a selected NetLinx
device (such as a Modero panel).
If the Master does not appear in the Workspace window, make sure that the Master’s
System Number (from within the Device Addressing tab) is correctly assigned. If
there is a problem, use a system value of zero (0) on the Master.
