Readdressing

The Readdress function allows the readdressing of units within a C-Bus Network or database. When you readdress a matched device, the Readdress matching device in Project check box is enabled to ensure the matched device is also updated in the database.

To readdress a network:

1. Right-click on Network Device > Readdress Network Device.

   Readdress Network Device pop-up is displayed.

   

2. Select the New Address and click OK.

   NOTE: Readdressing cannot be performed on Bridge devices.

   If the C-Bus project has only serial or C-Bus Network Interface (CNI) connections, the re-addressing of a single network is straightforward.

   TIP: The addressing structure must be maintained when readdressing networks.

   The network device is readdressed.

To view the property editor:

1. You can either:

   • Right-click on Network Device > Load Properties.

     

     or

   • Double-click on the Network Device.

     NOTE: When you try to load a live C-Bus network device with unit address 255 into the PROPERTIES window, an Error pop-up is displayed.
