Using Online Discovery to Add N2 Devices as JciN2Device Components

In the Nav side bar, right-click the JciN2Network and select Views > Jci N2 Device Manager. The Jci N2 Device Manager appears.

Click Discover to automatically locate the N2 devices on the network. A Device Discovery Config dialog box appears. By default, discovery occurs for all supported N2 devices in the address range 1 through 255. If desired, you can modify the start and stop address range used by the discovery process.

Click OK. A progress bar appears at the top of the view and updates as the discovery occurs. When the discovery job completes, discovered N2 devices appear at the top pane. The bottom Database pane lists all N2 devices currently mapped into the Niagara station. Initially, this table is empty.

Map the discovered N2 devices to the station. You can map the devices in the following ways:

• Drag the desired N2 device from the Discovered pane to Database pane. The Add dialog box appears.

• Double-click the desired N2 device in the Discovered pane. The Add dialog box appears.

• Select the desired N2 device in the Discovered pane, then press a. This action performs a Quick Add, so no Add dialog box appears.

In the Add dialog box, edit the configuration of the JciN2Device component. Initial property values are learned from the device.

Click OK. The JciN2Device is added to the station and appears in the Database pane.
