Matching discovered objects

After a discovery job runs, devices or modules that were added to the database while off-line need to be matched to the installed devices.

Prerequisites: The discovery job found devices that need to be matched.

Select a device row in the Database pane and the same device row in the Discovered pane.

NOTE: Match is strictly a one-to-one function for discovered-to-database objects. Match is unavailable any time you select multiple items in either the top or bottom pane.
To match the device with its record in the database, click the Match button () or right-click the row in the Discovered pane and click Match.
To edit the database record for the matched module, double-click the module row in the Database pane.
An edit page opens. Matching populates the discovered device’s address values. These properties are valid, otherwise communication to the discovered device would not have occurred.
For each matched object, edit the available properties, including defining the Alarm Class, and click OK.
The system adds the device or module to your station database. You can always edit the device component properties after you click OK.
