WMTS OPENNET LAN PROGRAMMING AND DIAGNOSTICS Description of Buttons and Functions The following section describes the buttons and functions of the OpenNet LAN Screen. Subsequent sections will discuss each function in detail. 102 Button Function Master Designates the system as the Device Master, which controls the user defined parameters on systems throughout the OpenNet LAN (page 103). Diagnostics Displays the OpenNet Diagnostics screen (page 116).
WMTS OPENNET LAN PROGRAMMING AND DIAGNOSTICS Designating a Device Master The Device Master is the system on the OpenNet LAN that controls the user defined parameters. To designate the system as the Device Master: 1. Click the Master button to toggle between Enabled and Disabled (see fig. 60 on page 101). • Selecting Enabled defines the system as the Device Master. Note: Only one Device Master is allowed on the network at one time.
WMTS OPENNET LAN PROGRAMMING AND DIAGNOSTICS Configuring the Device Master You can configure global parameters for the Device Master in the OpenNet LAN Configuration screen. To configure the OpenNet LAN parameters: Note: In order to view the LAN button, the Central Station must be designated as the device master (see “Designating a Device Master” on page 103). 1.
