Matching Manually Added JciN2Device Components to Discovered N2 Devices

Once a JciN2Device component has been manually added to the FX Supervisory Controller station database, you can use the Match function (found in the Device Manager) to match that JciN2Device component to a discovered N2 device (an online controller). This process copies essential configuration information learned in the discovered N2 controller (primarily, its N2 address) into the selected JciN2Device component.

  1. If the Discovered device table is empty, perform the Discover task.

  2. Select one N2 controller in the Discovered table and one JciN2Device component in the Database table.

  3. Click Match. The Match dialog box appears.

    The Match dialog box is similar to the Add Device dialog box, where values are pre-populated from online discovery. The only difference is that the Type field cannot be edited.

    Alternately, you can type m for a Quick Match. This bypasses the Match dialog box and the match is made in the station database.

  4. Edit the JciN2Device component’s properties (primarily, its N2 address) as needed.

  5. Click OK. The discovered device appears dimmed, indicating that the device is represented in the station database.
