There are several possible "states" for devices listed in the online device tree:
FIG. 23 Online Device Tree - Device element
• Unbound Device: An Unbound (or "Orphan") device is one that has not been bound to a
NetLinx Master. It may or may not have been assigned a Device Number. A
device will live in this state until it is explicitly bound to a master.
• Searching: A device is "Searching" if it has been bound to a NetLinx Master in the
past, but is not currently communicating with the Master.
After 10 minutes with no communication with the NetLinx Master, a
"Searching" device is moved into the "Lost" state.
•Lost: A device is "Lost" if it has been bound to a NetLinx Master in the past, but it
has not communicated with the Master for over 10 minutes.
