Manage NetLinx Devices - Displaying NDP-capable devices
You’ll note in the previous example (FIG. 74), the first NetLinx Master has a "+" icon next to it,
which shows that this Master is indicating the presence of NDP-capable devices currently
connected to it.
1. Click the "+" icon to expand the particular Master’s listing and reveal those NDP-capable
devices connected to it, as shown below in FIG. 75.
 Note that in this example the currently active Master’s Status description reads - This
Master and that the sub-devices are Bound to communicate with that Master. Even
though they are currently bound, clicking the adjacent Unbind button will release them
from communication with a particular Master.
2. Click the "-" icon to collapse the particular Master’s listing.
Manage NetLinx Devices - Binding/Unbinding - Explained
From below the Status column (which displays the Master or device state) you can determine
whether a device is Bound or Orphaned. For more information, refer to the What is Dynamic
Device Discovery? section on page 119.
 A Bound device is one which has established communication with it's associated Master.
This device was previously bound to communicate with a specific Master.
- This state shows an adjacent Unbind button which is used to release/disassociate
the device from its current Master.
- Once this button is pressed, the device then shows up as Orphaned (within the
Status column).
 An Orphan is an NDP-capable device which has not yet been assigned to communicate
(bound) with a specific Master.
- This state shows an adjacent Bind button which is used to then bind the device to
the Master whose pages are currently being viewed (displayed as This Master
within the Status column).
