Add Device windows

The manage devices button (

) appears in several device-related views. When clicked, this button initiates a series of windows used to add, delete, rename, duplicate, copy, and cut and paste devices that are related to a module, door, elevator, or reader. You can use the duplicate, copy and paste options to quickly add new devices.

This window appears in the Configure Database view and has analogous options for adding, deleting, renaming and duplicated databases.

You access these windows by clicking Controller Setup > Remote Devices > Remote Modules > Remote Module Setup, followed by clicking the Manage Devices button ( ).

All options work similarly by opening windows to allow you to perform the desired operation. The actions available in this view provide standard features.

Manage Devices window

Add creates a new device record in the database.
Delete removes the device record from the database.
Rename changes the name of the currently-selected device record in the database.
Duplicate creates a new record with the same properties as an existing record. This feature speeds configuring multiple similar devices.
Copy saves the selected record in memory.
Cut deletes the selected record while saving a copy of it in memory.
Paste appears only after you have copied or cut a device.
