Dust Point Manager “Discovered” notes

When a discover job completes, all found motes appear as expandable folders, each occupying one row in the top Discovered table (Figure 4).

As needed, click the plus icon “+” beside any mote folder to see all of its data channels—each one is a potential proxy point candidate (Figure 5).

Any channel showing “false” in the Enable column is a poor candidate for a proxy point. That channel is disabled in the server, and value updates cannot be received.

For organizational reasons, you may wish to make DustPointFolders for each discovered mote. The Dust Point Manager simplifies this—simply doube-click on a discovered “mote folder” to create an identically-named DustPointFolder under the Points extension.

If you do this, note that the “Database” pane in the Point Manager for each DustPointFolder shows only Dust proxy points that reside under that folder. However, a “Discover” from any Dust Point Manager always shows all discovered motes.
