5. Identification of networked devices.


There are two methods to identify a Project device with its hardware counterpart on the
network:

1. Configuration of device network parameters.

Using the Network Configuration option in the device context menu (right-click), you obtain
network parameters that uniquely identify the hardware device configured with exactly the
same parameters:

If there is no hardware device with the entered IP address in the network, selecting Connect
from the context menu won’t establish the connection between the device and EclerNet
Manager (blinking red connection icon).

If there is such a device in the network, selecting Connect from the context menu opens the
synchronization window which allows the Project virtual device current status to be sent to the
hardware device, or the reverse: updating the Project virtual device status with the hardware
device actual status. Once connection has been established (blinking green connection icon),
the device is removed from the “Online and Unused Device List” in Project Explorer Helper.

Once synchronized, the device appears in EclerNet Manager with its green connection icon
lit.
