Discovering FLN Devices
The Device Discovery feature, in the Field Panel Web Server User Interface, is
available if the field panel has been enabled for MS/TP FLN and has Firmware
Revision 3.3 or later. The field panel automatically triggers a discovery process on
startup for the local MS/TP FLN(s).
NOTE:
When data is modified in the Device Discovery table, the device reference that is
stored in the field panel database is modified when the device is added. Modifying
data in the Device Discovery table does not modify the properties that are stored in
the FLN device.
Use the following procedure to manually trigger a discovery process:
1. In the FLN Editor, select a field panel with Firmware Revision 3.3 or later.
2. Select the desired FLN.
3. Click the Discover Devices button at the bottom of the FLN
Editor device tree pane.
4. Complete the following steps if they apply to your network:
– If the field panel has Firmware Revision 3.4 or later, you can enter a range of
instance numbers to filter the discovered list and reduce the impact to panel
performance.
– During the first device discovery on a routed MS/TP FLN or IP FLN, the
following window displays. Enter the range of instance numbers to discover.
This range will then be used for any subsequent discoveries of the same
network.
 The Device Discovery pane displays a list of all devices that are physically
connected to the network but have not been added to the field panel database.
