Decommissioning Devices

You can use the Segment Controller to decommission a device if you are no longer

using it or if you are moving it to a new network. In addition, you can

temporarily decommission a device to optimize, troubleshoot, or repair your

network. Decommissioning logically removes the device from the network. When

you decommission a device, its Neuron ID is preserved so that you can

subsequently recommission the device without having to re-acquire its Neuron

ID. In addition, the configuration properties of the device are preserved in the

Segment Controller’s internal database. You can then later recommission the

same or different devices without having to load configuration property files to

the device.
Note: Decommissioning a device can affect the performance of the power line

repeating network, particularly if the device is being used as a repeating agent in

a repeating chain. If a repeating agent is decommissioned, it could cause

communication failures for multiple devices.
To decommission a device, perform the following steps:

1. Select one or more devices from the tree to be decommissioned:

•

To select one device, click that device.

•

To select multiple devices and perform a batch upgrade, click one

device and then either hold down CTRL and click all other devices to

be decommissioned or hold down SHIFT and select another device to

decommission the entire range of devices. The device Web page

opens.

2. From the Setup tab, right-click a selected device, select Manage, and

select Decommission.
