The Master refreshes and shows that the TPI is bound to it.
The TPI remains bound to the Master and will connect to it whenever you reboot the TPI.
NOTE: If the TPI does not appear within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window of NetLinx Studio, check to make sure that the
NetLinx Master System Number (from the Device Addressing dialog box) is correctly assigned.
