properties of the original device, and then commission the replacement

Program ID Displays the unique, 16-hex digit ID that uniquely identifies the device
application in the following format:
FM:MM:MM:CC:CC:UU:TT:NN [Format (F), Manufacturer ID
(M), Device Class (C), Usage (U), Channel Type (T), Model Number
(N)]. This field is read-only.
This property is only displayed in Driver mode; it is not displayed in
General mode.
Template Displays the full path of the device interface (.xif or .XML file),
which is the logical interface to the device. A device's interface
specifies the functional blocks, network variables, configuration
properties, and configuration property default values defined by the
device’s application.
This property is only displayed in Driver mode; it is not displayed in
General mode.
Geographical
Position Displays the way point acquired or entered for the device. A way
point is a set of coordinates (latitude and longitude) that identifies the
device’s location in physical space. This property is useful for outdoor
lighting systems.
Typically, way points are acquired with a GPS receiver and then
downloaded to the SmartServer using SOAP/HTTP messages over the
console port.
Alternatively, you can enter a description of the device
6. Optionally, you can wink or test discovered devices. To do this, right-click anywhere in the
device’s row and then click Wink or Query Status on the shortcut menu.

You can wink a device to identify it on the network and verify that it is communicating
properly. A device that supports the Wink command generates an application-dependent
audio or visual feedback such as a beep or a flashing service LED when winked. Wink
commands are typically used when installing or diagnosing multiple devices in a system,
where a network tool may be needed to confirm the identity of a given device.

You can test a device to open the Query Status dialog and view network statistics such as the
number of message transmission and receipt errors, transaction timeouts, and the number of
missed or lost messages that indicate whether the device is operating and is configured
correctly, and to view the current device configuration and application state. For more
information on the Query Status dialog, see Querying Devices later in this chapter.
