2.2.1.2. Network
"i"
If you mouse over
symbol,
IP and Subnet and, finally the firmware version.
NOTE: Check this last line, if it appears "Not Updated" close to the version, the device will need an update
in order to work with it. Consult the (4. Updating firmware) section for further information.
2.2.1.3. Connecting virtual & physical devices between them
Depending on the installation, in some occasions could be that we need to prepare the presets and device setup
without the physical device presence (the device is in another place, the device is turned off, or we want test any
previous configuration). Therefore, we can load the device form the library and work on this virtual device and
later, dump the information into the physical device. There are two possibilities:
1st Possibility: We are working in a computer in the same LAN where the device will be connected.
In that case, search the device from Network and follow the steps to add it in Project Inspector tab. Now
there 2 devices in Project Inspector: one with green circle (physical device) and another without circle (virtual device).
The next step is to dump the whole information from the virtual to physical device, therefore, select the virtual one
and press Setup in General tab. Now select the icon Copy Device in Connection settings. Press the physical device
in Project inspector and thePaste Device in the same section. The software will transfer the information between
both units.
You still have 2 devices in Project Inspector and you can eliminate the virtual in case yo do not need it or
you can preserve it in order to make test configuration and repeat this process in the future.
2nd Possibility: We are working in a different place where the DIGILINE is connected.
We could set the device from our office and, later go to the installations and dump the configuration. In that case,
after to finish the setting, press File tab in the upper left corner and select Save As in order to save all setting
as project. After, in the installation, load the project generated file (from File tab). the Project will be loaded and
now you can repeat the same process described in the previous point: Load the physical device from Network and
Copy/paste the information.
Accessing to the Network tab, the software search devices
compatible with WorkCAD in the network.
After to search a connected device , you can see two symbols en the same device
line:
"+"
symbol allows to integrate it in a group inside PROJECT INSPECTOR and,
later, to aaccess to its control interface on the right side of the screen.
Double click over it. A bar will be appears during the process, it means that the
software is retriving the loaded presets in the physical device in to show them in
the interface and work with them, (editing, copying, etc).
Furthermore, the device will appear in the Project Inspector tab to associate it with
a group of devices.
NOTE: As we are working ONLINE, the LED next to name in Project Inspector
window is on in green color.
a window
will be showed with all device information like Name, Type, MAC address,
