Search For Units
Other ZoneView Plus operations are greatly simplified if the program knows what type of
unit to expect at each address location on the RS-485 communications loop. Before the
user can search for these units the controller installations must be complete and all units
communicating. To access this screen you must have entered your passcode and then
selected the Go OnLine selection located under the Communications menu. The search
screen is shown below.
Selecting the Search For Units menu assumes that all previous steps have been
completed and you are ready to begin communications with the controllers. This unit
search should be performed the first time you run the program and anytime you add a
new controller or remove a controller from the communications loop. Once this search
has been performed, the identified units will be stored on disk and you won’t need to
repeat this function. Select the Start button to initiate a search.
If you are using this computer to access remote job-sites, then this search should be
performed the first time you call a job-site. These identified units are saved to a file that
is based on the selected phone list number.
