The AADvanceDiscover utility is installed when you install the AADvance
Workbench, and appears on the Start menu of the computer. Click on AADvance
Discover to start the AADvanceDiscover utility.
The AADvanceDiscover utility displays a list of the AADvance controllers on the
broadcast network, and reports a status for each one:
Configurable
Locked
No response
Double-clicking on an entry in the list lets you inspect the resource and IP address
settings for a controller. There is also a Refresh button, which makes a scan of the
network and creates a new list.
A controller is configurable when the program enable key is present (this plugs into
the KEY connector on the processor base unit) and either no application is loaded or
an application is loaded but not running. The status will be locked if the controller
reports that one or more of these criteria has not been met.
If the AADvanceDiscover utility reports a status of 'no response' for a controller,
either the controller has been turned off or the communications between the
computer running the utility and the controller have failed. Check the power to the
controller and check the connection, and click the Refresh button.
The AADvanceDiscover utility also reports a status of 'in progress' and 'Pending
restart'. 'In progress' appears while the controller accepts new settings. 'Pending
restart' means the controller is waiting for manual intervention from you; cycle the
power to the controller.
The AADvanceDiscover utility will also allow you to save configurations that you
can re-load in the future as required. It can also be used to enable the Ethernet
Forwarding feature.
