Replacing Devices
You can use the Segment Controller to replace a device if the device fails or a
newer version of the device becomes available. Note the following requirements
when replacing a device:
•
The replacement device must have the same program ID as the original
device.
•
The application image file and device interface should match the original
device; otherwise, you might have to upgrade the replacement device as
well.
If you replace a device that was serving as a repeating agent, the Segment
Controller automatically identifies alternate repeating devices to relay network
messages to those target devices that were using the old device in their repeating
chains. When you add the replacement device to the network, the Segment
Controller attempts to commission the replacement device. The commissioning
succeeds if the Segment Controller can communicate with the device either
directly or through a repeating chain.
Note: If the original device still functions, leave the old device connected to the
network (if physically possible) until the device replacement has been completed.
Thus, the Segment Controller can decommission the old device so that you can
easily reuse it in a new network. This step is not required if the device has
failed.
To replace a device with the Segment Controller, perform the following steps:
1. Attach the replacement device to the network by applying power to the
device and attaching its network connection as documented by the device
manufacturer.
2. Right-click the original device, select Manage, and then select Replace
from the shortcut menu.
