USER GUIDE
As shown below, if the screen displays Nodes that are red in color but that do not have a lock
symbol on them, these are nodes that are in alert status which should be investigated further.
The white box below each Node is a label provided for Node identification purposes, and is set
as the Base Module’s serial number in the default configuration. This label can be changed to be
more meaningful, e.g. Room123. Modify the label field and click the ‘Update Names’ command
for the Node name changes to take effect. Note: this label name is stored in the Node’s Base
Module, so if the module configuration of the Node is changed the label will remain intact.
The next few paragraphs describe the ‘Manage’ tab in great detail. The actions within this tab
enable the Access/One Network administrator to view & manage the network in its entirety or
to drill down to the subnet, Node, or even device level. To reduce the number of network
resets, it is recommended that the initial cloud configuration be created on the Network Server
before admitting any other Network Nodes to the cloud. When any other Node is admitted, it
will automatically retrieve the cloud configuration and reboot.
Creating a configuration using the ‘Configure’ or ‘Security’ tabs and clicking on the ‘Update’
button will create a local configuration on the Network Server, and when the ‘Apply
Configuration’ tab is selected, that information is pushed to every Node in the network. Once
the configuration has been pushed successfully to the other Nodes (monitor by pressing ‘View
Active Status’), use the ‘Reboot Network’ command to make the changes effective. Note: the
Network Server will not allow additional management changes (the various tabs will be shaded)
until the previous command has completed.
