RS-485 Unregister
RS-485 Unregister page will list all of the secondary panels that are physically
wired together in a RS-485 communication loop.
Note: Note RS-485 Unregister feature is only available on the primary panel of the RS-485
loop.
Navigate to the RS-485 Unregister tab: Menu > Panel Configuration > Advanced >
RS-485 Unregister.
If a secondary panel is offline, it will display as red in the status list. None of its
devices (readers, inputs, outputs, etc.) will be accessible until the panel comes back
online. Once the panel is back online, its status will change to green and its devices
will be accessible.
If the user want to remove the offline secondary panel from the list, the user can
unregister it, which will remove it from the panel status list.
Note: Only secondary panels can be Unregistered.
The RS-485 Unregister button does not become available until the panel goes
offline. While the panel is online, the button is grayed out, unavailable.
