Refresh List: Click this button to regenerate the device listing by looking for broadcasting devices. This
causes the Master to send out a message asking devices to resend their NDP device announcements. The list
is then updated as those devices send back their announcements to the Master.
The information displayed can not only include Masters and devices on this system but Masters and devices
on other systems as well. By default, the target Master always appears in the list.
Clear List: Click this button causes the entries to be temporarily deleted from the page, either until you
refresh the list (using the Refresh List button), or until the Master begins to detect any multi-cast
transmissions from System Devices.

(Cont.):
• Bound: Indicates that the device has established communication with it's associated Master. This
state shows an adjacent Unbind button which is used to release/disassociate the device from
communicating with its current Master.
• Lost: Indicates that the device has tried to establish communication with it's associated or “bound”
Master, but was after a period of time, unable to establish communication.
Due to system delays, message collisions, and multicast routing, not all devices may
respond immediately.
