Note
The icon "Ready for assignment" appears when a MAC address exists and matching device
data was found, but no PROFINET device name was found online.
You can update the data of the detected devices again via their MAC addresses at any time.
To do this, you specify the MAC address and the status of the device is displayed
immediately without having to re-detect the device.
