5.1.3 Replacing the device in the network (without the database of
the network)
If the database of the respective network is not available, you have to configure
a locally connected dLAN device manually so that afterwards, it can replace the
device to be replaced in the respective network on a 1:1 basis. There are multiple
alternative approaches for doing this:
a) You can register the device with dLAN AVpro manager as described in Chap-
ter 4.2.2. The device will then appear with the correct ID in the list of
„Unused devices“. Right-click on the device in the list to open the context
menu of the respective device and click on the menu item Configure device.
In the editing window of this menu item, configure the settings required for
the replacement device.
b) Where your local device had been connected previously, connect the
replacement device to be configured to your computer running dLAN AVpro
manager. This adds the replacement device to the list of „Unused devices“.
Right-click on the device to open the context menu. Here, in the menu item
Edit device data, enter the designation of the device to be replaced. Then,
in the menu item Configure device, configure the settings to match those of
the device to be replaced.
If multiple dLAN devices can be reached locally from your computer running
dLAN AVpro manager (e.g. using an Ethernet switch), the MAC addresses of
these dLAN devices are listed in the device menu under the menu item Configure
device.
Here, select the MAC address of the device you want to configure.
