An alternative method to using online discovery is to manually add an N2 device as a JciN2Device component. This manual process allows you to add JciN2Device components when the FX Supervisory Controller station is not yet communicating with live N2 devices on an N2 network. To manually add a JciN2Device, use the Device Manager’s new device wizard.
