even if the device is reset

. For a device to be disabled, it must

contain a Node Object functional block. If Disable is selected
and the device does not contain a Node Object functional block,
the device is placed offline. As with offline operation, portions
of a disabled device’s application may continue to function.
This option is not available for routers.

Source of CP Values

Specify the source of the replacement device’s configuration
property values. You have three choices:

LNS Database. The configuration property values stored in the

LNS network database for the old device will be written to the
replacement device.

Defaults. The default configuration property values stored in the

device template will be written to the replacement device. This
option requires a device template based on a version 4 or higher
XIF file with specified default values. See the L

ON

M

ARK

Device

Interface File Developer’s Guide for more details. This is the
default.

If you select Defaults, select whether network variable type
configuration properties (SCPTnvType) are restored to their
default values when the device is commissioned. If you want
them to be restored, select the Include NV Type CPs checkbox.
This check box is cleared by default. This operation will not
work if any of the affected network variables are connected.

New Device Values. The configuration property values set in

the replacement device will be written to the LNS network
database.

Device Specific CPs

Select how device-specific configuration properties are managed
when an application is loaded into the replacement device.
Device-specific configuration properties are configuration
properties that may be changed independently from the LNS
network database (by the device itself or by a tool not based on
LNS, for example).
Do Not Update. Device-specific configuration properties will

not be modified in the device or in the LNS network database.
This is the default.

Update with Other CPs. The device-specific configuration

property values in the replacement device will be set based on
the option selected in the Source of CP Values box. For
example, if you select LNS Database in the Source of CP
Values
box, the device-specific configuration property values
stored in the LNS network database will be written to the
device.

Upload from New Device. The current device-specific

configuration property values set in the replacement device will
be written to the LNS network database.

Transfer from Old Device. If the old device is available, its

device-specific configuration property values will be written to
both the LNS network database and the replacement device. If
the old device is not available, the device-specific configuration
property values in the replacement device will not be changed.
