Changing The Device/System Address On A Netlinx Device
Select Device Addressing from the Diagnostics menu, the Online Device context menu, or click
the toolbar button to access the Device Addressing dialog, which allows you to change the Device
and/or System Address for a NetLinx system device:
1. Enter the target device's current Device number in the (Device to Change) Device text box.
2. Click the Change Device checkbox and enter the new Device number in the New Device text
box.
3. Enter the target device's current System number in the (System to Change) System text box.
4. Click the Change System checkbox and enter the new System number in the New System text
box.
5. Click the Change Device/System Number command button to set the new address
information for the specified device.
6. The master must be rebooted to accept the new System number assignment.
To reboot the master, select Reboot Master from the Tools menu.
Alternatively, you can use the ID (Identification) Mode options on the right side of this tab to
change the address assignment for a specified NetLinx device. Use ID Mode when you don't know
the current address assignments. The Start Identify Mode button places the entire NetLinx system
(specified in the Destination System text box) in ID Mode.
If the target Master has security applied, NetLinx Studio will prompt you for a User
Name and Password in order to change these settings.
Allow the master 20-30 seconds to reboot.
