Performing a network scan l 53
Ø To scan for devices one Local Area Network (LAN) above the current
one:
Ÿ Click Prev LAN. For example, if you typed 10, 15, 9 as the base routing
path for a scan, click Prev LAN to scan for devices with a base routing
path of 10, 15.
Ø To check that status lights in the graphics match your controllers:
1. Click Monitor. NxT scans the controllers continuously to make sure
that the status lights in the on-screen graphics show the actual
condition of your controllers. The graphics correctly show the Run
and Battery Low lights on the controller. Underneath the controller,
NxT shows whether the controller is OK or in Dim Awareness or if the
controller is stopped, the Stop Code.
2. To stop monitoring, press ESC.
Ø To see more or fewer devices in the Net Scan display:
1. Click to zoom out the view. You can see up to 30 devices at a time.
2. Click to zoom in the view. NxT always displays at least 10 devices.
Network Scan for TCP/IP
Network scan allows you to identify and display the following devices on
your Ethernet network:
Ÿ Momentum Ethernet controllers;
Ÿ Quantum controllers (with NOE modules);
Ÿ ENT modules;
Ÿ Host computer (the computer actually performing the network scan);
and
Ÿ Non-Schneider Electric devices.
Clicking Monitor in the Net Scan window is not the same as selecting Monitor
in the Tools menu. The first only checks the status lights of controllers. The
second monitors the health of controllers and I/O systems.
