The parameters here are:
● The
node type selected in the list box:
– The master station is the highest hierarchic level in the network. It generally collects
information from the underlying network nodes and specifies settings for the nodes in
the field.
– A node station is at a hierarchically lower level than the master station or another node
station and is at a higher level than one or more other stations.
– A station is at a level close to the field and hierarchically below a master station or
node station.
● The
WAN address in the network.
The unique WAN address of the node can be modified. A consistency check ensures that
WAN addresses that have already been assigned cannot be selected.
