Use this page to select the type of devices and the device names. After making changes, go to the System > Setup > Config screen to
save the settings displayed on the web pages to an XML file stored in flash memory.

Setting up the Devices

In the sample screen shown, two devices are set up in the network: a Gateway (device 0) and one Node (device 1). To define the devi-
ces:

1. Always set up the Gateway as device 0 and the Nodes as devices 1 through 15.
2. Select the correct model from the drop-down list as this determines which I/O types are available for use.
3. Optional: Enter a device name for each DX80 device. Giving the Gateway and Node unique names allows them to be easily identi-

fiable in subsequent set-up screens.

4. Select the Change checkbox and click the Update button to submit changes to the Ethernet Bridge.

After defining the devices, but before modifying any settings on a configured network, select the Get ALL checkbox for all network devi-
ces and click the Update button. This retrieves all settings from the devices and displays them in the Web Configurator. Because sending
or retrieving information from the DX80 devices can take several minutes, use the Check Status button to view the status of the data
transfer.

Save these settings by going to System > Setup > Config File and clicking the Save or Save As button. This ensures that the configura-
tion file contains the most recent information stored on the SureCross devices.

Configuring I/O

Use the Configure Points page to select the I/O type and settings for each SureCross™ device. The Configure Points page can be
accessed using either the Configure Points tab or by clicking the device number in the left column of the Select Models page. Use the
Prev and Next buttons to scroll through the devices.

In the sample shown, I/O points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are set up on the Gateway because this Gateway is a four
discrete in, four discrete out, two analog in, and two analog out model. To define your device:
