Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave
scanner. The most practical method is through the
Net-Autoset procedure. See par. 3.2.3 for
alternative address assignment methods.
Once all addresses have been assigned, the Express Network Setup is to be used when all
scanner addresses and labels
do not need to be modified.
By clicking on the
icon or by choosing the related option from the right-click menu, the
procedure is started which automatically performs the following operations:
- opening the wizard;
- polling the network to discover connected scanners;
- transferring all scanners found to the "Requested Devices" area of the wizard where
your network customization is defined;
- saving the new network configuration;
Once the procedure has been completed, a dialog box will appear asking whether to send
the configuration to the Master. Choose the “Yes” option to start this procedure.
