7.2 Show Location
Localizing an IE Switches X-300
To identify an IE Switch X-300 locally and with certainty, you can use the "show location"
function on a programming device to select the node over the network and make it flash. This
can be used, for example, when assigning addresses to make sure that the correct node
receives the address. All port LEDs of the addressed node flash green twice a second.
With the PST Tool V3.0 or higher, you can trigger this function with "Module \ Flash".
