Configuring a Device
Why Should I Use Rover in Tracer Summit?
By using Rover in Tracer Summit, you can:
• Configure and troubleshoot LonTalk controllers remotely on links with BCUs
• Create and view bindings remotely on links with BCUs
• Use Rover and Tracer Summit on the same computer
Who Can Access Rover From Tracer Summit?
The site security supervisor must grant access to appropriate technicians and operators before
they can use Rover through Tracer Summit. There are two levels of access:
• Rover (Configuration Only), which offers access only to Rover configuration screens from UCM
editors
• Rover (Full Access), which offers access to the full version of Rover, including the ability to
create bindings between controllers
Note: An operator with full Rover access can configure all supported LonTalk controllers, even
if that operator does not have access to certain types of LonTalk controllers in Tracer
Summit.
