data point updates; however, it does not process them. Instead, the offline device

transmits default values for its data points. In addition, an offline device can

still process commission, decommission, set online, query status, clear status,

wink, and reset commands.
Note: Setting a device offline can affect the performance of the power line

repeating network, particularly if the device is being used as a repeating agent in

a repeating chain. If a repeating agent is placed offline, it could cause

communication failures for multiple devices. In addition, setting a device offline

can affect network performance if the device was polling prior to its being set

offline.
CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules continue to forward messages when

offline.
To set a device offline, perform the following steps:

1. Select one or more devices to place offline. To select one device, click that

device. To select multiple devices, click one device and then either hold

down CTRL and click all other devices to be installed or hold down

SHIFT and select another device to place the entire range of devices

offline.

2. From the Setup tab, right-click a selected device, select Manage, and

select Set Offline.

Alternatively, you can change the Application Status property to

Application Stopped (Offline) in the from the Setup tab of the device

Web page, which appears when you select devices in step 1.

3. The Segment Controller places the devices in the soft offline state (the

device has an application loaded and is configured, but it is offline). The

offline devices are highlighted red in the Segment Controller tree and in

the Power Line Repeating Analysis Web page.
