CatNet Systems CH-1 Help

This screen is used to configure access to a single device on a LonWorks network.

Label is the name of the item as displayed in the Device Tree.

All items in the Device Tree are sorted alphabetically by label. Folders may be used to organize items.

The Neuron ID is the six pairs of hexadecimal numbers displayed on most LonWorks devices. It can usually be found on a sticker somewhere on the device itself.

It should appear on the device as either six pairs of hexadecimal numbers (02 2B 49 8B 01 00) or as a run of twelve numbers/letters (022B498B0100). Regardless of how it appears on the device, it should be entered here as a single run of twelve digits(022B498B0100).

Description

Description is optional text that describes the item. It can be any descriptive text or be left blank.

Device Module (optional)

A device module is a custom written programming module that allows for access to complicated data structures within a device. The normal addressing system will allow access to most data within a device, but device modules may be needed for very complex data.

Addressing Tab

Domain ID, Subnet and Node

These addressing fields are initialized during device scanning and are not automatically updated or used to access the device. They are shown here for reference only and must be manually updated.

Group Settings Tab

The group settings are used to determine which user groups can see this item in the tree. The default setting is "Everyone". Unchecking "Allow Everyone" enables selecting individual groups.

If a user group is not allowed to see an item, that group will also not be able to see any items under it in the tree.

There are "Check All" and "Uncheck All" buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.

Group access permissions are for the tree only. If an item is placed on a graphic that a group can view, that group would still be able to access it.

Advanced Tab

Name

Name is used for advanced features. If left blank, it will be assigned automatically. It is recommended that the default value not be changed.

It can be up to 48 characters. Only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, period (.) and underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.
