The settings of this gateway are displayed in the right part of the window (see also
below, 'Gateway' dialog): Example:
Node Name: "Gateway-1"
Driver: TCP/IP
IP-Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 1217
As long as the gateway is properly running, a green bullet is displayed before the
entry, otherwise a red one . The bullet stays grey, if the gateway has not been
contacted yet (depending on some communication protocols, it is not allowed to poll
the gateway, so the status cannot be displayed).
Indented below the gateway entry (open/close via the +/- sign) you will see entries for
all devices which are reachable through this gateway: Regard that those entries are
stored locally on your system and not with the project. The device entries are preceded
by a symbol. Entries with a target ID different to that of the device currently
configured in the project, are displayed in grey font. To get an up-to-date list of the
currently available devices use button or command 'Scan network' (see below).
The device entries consist of a symbol followed by "<Node Name> [Node Address]"
and in the right window part you additionally see the respective Target ID, Target
Name, Target Type, Target Vendor and Target Version.
The display of the gateway and devices nodes' tree can be controlled by filter and
sorting functions. See the selection boxes in the right part of the dialog:
• Filter: The list can be reduced to all devices with a Target ID matching with that of
the device currently configured in the project
• Sorting: The list can be sorted according to the Name resp. Node Address in
alphabetical resp. ascending order.
The currently selected gateway channel always will be displayed in the 'Select the
network path to the controller' field.
