Manage Devices - Device Options
Click the Device Options link (in the Manage Devices tab) to access the Details for Additional Devices page (FIG. 60).
The options on this page display various details specific to additional (non-NetLinx) System Devices.
Configuring Device Binding Options
1. Use the Configure Binding Options options to specify how the Master will manage Bound Devices:
2. Press the Accept button to save your changes.
Managing Device Modules
Use the Manage Device Modules set of options to archive or delete modules from the Master. All modules currently
present on the Master are indicated in the Module list.
Archiving a Module
1. Select a module and click the Archive Module button.
2. This action copies the selected module (*.JAR) file to your PC.
3. The system will prompt you to specify a target directory to save the module file to.
Binding Options
Option Description
Enable Auto Bind: This selection allows you to toggle the state of the automatic binding for DDD (On/Off).
When auto-binding is enabled, the Master automatically attempts to connect any newly
discovered device with an associated application device (defined in the running NetLinx
application).
Auto-binding can only be accomplished if the Master's firmware determines a one-to-one
correlation between the newly discovered device and a single entry within the list of defined
application devices (accessed via the Binding link at the top of this page).
For example, if the application only has one VCR defined and a VCR is detected in the
system, auto-binding can then be accomplished. If there were two VCRs defined within the
application, auto-binding could not be completed due to the lack of a clearly defined one-to-
one correspondence.
When this option is not selected, no auto-binding activity takes place and all binding of the
newly discovered devices must be accomplished manually via the Web control interface.
Enable Auto-Shutdown: Auto-Shutdown forces the termination of modules that have lost communication with their
respective physical device. This capability is needed for plug-and-play support.
By default, Auto-Shutdown is enabled. If automatic termination of modules when they have
lost communication is not desired, this selection should be disabled.
Enable Subnet Match: This selection allows you to specify whether or not IP devices should only be detected/
discovered if they are on the same IP Subnet as the Master.
Purge Bound Modules 
on Reset:
This selection indicates that all modules should be deleted from the bound directory upon the
next reboot.
During the binding process, the associated Duet modules for a device are copied from the 
/unbound directory into a protected /bound area.
Due to the dynamic nature of Java class loading, it is not safe to delete a running .JAR file.
Therefore, this selection provides the administrator the capability of removing existing
modules upon reboot by forcing a re-acquisition of the module at bind time.
This selection is a one-time occurrence - upon the next reboot, the selection is cleared.
Enable/Disable Module
Search via Internet:
This option toggles the capability of searching the Internet (either AMX's site or a device
specified site) for a device’s compatible Duet modules. This capability is automatically
disabled if the Master does not have Internet connectivity.
Upon enabling Internet connectivity, the AMX License Agreement is displayed. The License
Agreement must be accepted for Internet Module search feature to be enabled.
When this feature is enabled, the Master queries either AMX's Online database of device
Modules and/or pulls Modules from a separate site specified by the manufacturer's device.
You can later disable this feature by toggling this button.
