Remote Configuration
Slot Config Web Page
Use the Slot Config web page ( Figure 34 on page 55 ) to perform the fol-
lowing functions on the module:
• Locate Module – selecting the Flash selection in the pulldown button
flashes the yellow COMM LED on the front of the module so it can be
located in the frame.
• Slot Identification – You may identify the module by typing a specific
name in the Name field. The assigned name is stored on the 8900NET
module and travels with the 8900NET module if it is moved to another
frame. Select
Default to enter the factory default module name.
An asset identification may be entered in the Asset Tag field up to 31
characters. This will appear on the module Status web page and in the
NetConfig inventory report.
• Slot Memory – the slot configuration for each module is automatically
saved periodically (once an hour) to the 8900NET module in that frame.
You may also select the
Learn Module Config button at any time to save the
current configuration for this slot. The configuration is saved on the
8900NET module. If the 8900NET module is removed or powered
down, the stored configurations are not saved.
When the Restore upon Install box has been checked, the current configu-
ration saved to this slot is saved as slot memory. When the current
module is removed and another module of the same type is installed,
the configuration saved to the 8900NET module will be downloaded to
the new module. The box must be checked before the current module
with the saved configuration is removed.
Note Allow at least 5 seconds before inserting the new module into the slot.
Only the same module type, with the same version software should be
installed in this slot. Inserting a similar module with a different version
software can cause unexpected results. If a different type of module is
installed in this slot, a warning message will state that the original
module type has been replaced with another module type. In this case,
a
Clear button will appear allowing you to clear the stored configuration
from the previous module.
• Frame Health Reporting – This web page allows configuration of the alarms
and warnings that are reported to the external Frame Health Alarm
connector on the rear of the GeckoFlex frame. Refer to 8900NET Instruc-
tion Manual for more details.
• LED Reports – This link appears when the 8900NET module has software
version 4.0.2 or later installed. When the link is selected, a read-only
status report of the 8900NET Hardware Switch state is given. In the
LED Reporting section of the web page, LED Reporting on the 8900NET
module can be enabled or disabled as desired.
