The second option works well with the UPStart "Network State" operation which queries each device
for its state and can use that state for the export. Here is what you can do when you are ready to
export your UPB network to the Gateway. First, use the "Network – Status All" operation. Second,
export using the "Update Gateway state from UPStart state" operation. When the export completes,
the Gateway has the actual state of each of your devices and that state will be shown by the mobile
applications.
You can always use this new method but getting the state of all devices can take a while so you may
not want to do it each time. If you are not changing your UPB network in any major way – not adding
or removing devices or changing the type or unit id of any device – then when you export using the
"Don't update" option could work and the Gateway doesn't lose the current state of any device.
However, if you are making any major changes and you don't want to take the time to do the "Network
- Status All" operation, then it is best to clear the Gateway's state.
The other option in the Export dialog tells the exporter if you want to save the schedule as part of
Export.
The schedule can be updated by UPStart and is saved in the UPB file, but also can be updated using the
mobile applications. Because of this, what is in the file could be out of date with what is stored in the
Gateway. This option lets you choose if the export saves the schedule – always or never –or if it should
check to see if the schedule in the Gateway is the same as in the UPStart file and then gives you the
option of going ahead with the saving of the schedule or not.
Close the dialog with “close” when complete then shutdown UPStart. Both UPStart and remote
applications can’t access the Gateway simultaneously.
Important note: if UPStart is connected to the gateway, it has priority and no other application can
connect until UPStart has disconnected! Eight different devices can be connected to the gateway but
not if UPStart is still connected. Only one UPStart can be connected a time.
