DeviceData appears in the Nav side bar under any Lon device, as shown in Figure 36. You can simply double-click it to see its property sheet.

In general, it is recommended that you leave slot values under a device’s DeviceData container at default settings. Largely, these are data structures that contain address and state information administered by the network management functions of the station.

Do not set the Node State for any “hosted” Lon node (or the Local Lon Device) to “Applicationless,” or else the device will become irretrievably non-functional. Instead, use the Lon Device Manager view of the LonNetwork to make changes to Lon devices.

One exception that may be routinely edited is the device’s Neuron Id—this maps the device in the station database to a different physical device (or no device, if the address is not available).
