Network
The Network menu provides tools to manage the configuration over the network.
Note: When working offline, the options in this menu are not selectable.
Send System Configuration
Sends the entire Concert configuration to all linked and online devices in the system. This action overwrites all device configurations with the new configuration data. A Send Network Data dialog displays for confirmation of the configuration update to the view's devices. Click OK to send the configuration or Cancel to abort the update.
Retrieve System Configuration
Retrieve configuration data from all linked and online devices, updating their associated configurations in Concert. This action overwrites all device configuration in Concert with the new retrieved configuration data. A Retrieve Network Data dialog displays for confirmation of the configuration update to the views devices. Click OK to send the configuration or Cancel to abort the network configuration overwrite.
Which devices in the Concert configuration receive the new configuration from the networked devices is determined by which view is in focus. If Retrieve System Configuration is selected with the World View in focus, all devices in the Concert configuration that are linked and online with a networked device will receive the new device configuration. If a logical system is in focus, or a sub-system of a logical system is in focus, only the devices for that system will receive the new network device configuration.
Send Device Configuration
Select a device or select multiple devices (press CTRL then click to select devices), then select Send Device Configuration from the View menu to send the Concert configuration to only the selected linked and online devices. This action overwrites all selected device configurations with the new Concert configuration data. A Send Device Configuration dialog displays for confirmation of the configuration update, overriding the device with values from the configuration. Click Yes to send the configuration or No to abort the update.
Retrieve Device Configuration
Retrieve device configuration data from selected linked and online devices, updating their associated configurations in Concert. This action overwrites all device configuration in Concert with the new retrieved device configuration data. A Retrieve Device Configuration dialog displays for confirmation of the configuration update . Click Yes to send the configuration or No to abort the network device configuration overwrite.
Synchronize Configuration
Working with an online networked system, but not in Live Edit mode, Concert determines if the values of the devices on the network and the values in the Concert configuration differ. When these values are different, the device will display a Sync Status icon in red, meaning it is out of sync, and the Synchronize Configuration option in the Network menu is enabled. Select Synchronize Configuration to process a configuration sync. The Synchronize Devices dialog displays for resolution. Reference Synchronize Devices Dialog for information to resolve this dialog.
