6.38 Sub-Network
Once you have created a network of two or more WebMaster controllers using Ethernet cards (see
Figure 9 B for wiring), purchased the Master Capability software for the master controller, defined
the master unit as the master and slave units as slaves (see section 6.29) in the Communications
page, and given each controller unique Ethernet IP addresses in the Communications page, then
the links under Sub-Network will be active.
To navigate between controllers on the sub-network, start by logging onto the master controller.
This may be via RS232, Ethernet or modem. Once connected to the master, click on a link to the
slave. The link will be given the custom name of the controller from the Startup page. The first
time you connect to the slave in a given session, you will need to log on with that controller’s user
name and password. After that, you will be able to bounce from one controller to another without
logging on again.
If the links available do not accurately match the controllers on the network, go to the
Communications page and click the ‘Detect Network ‘ button. If the sub-network frame is still
inaccurate, right click in the frame and click ‘Refresh.’ If still inaccurate, try rebooting the
controller.
