Discovering and adding CcnDevices, tables and points

Discovery can not only locate devices but also automatically add tables and points.

Prerequisites: You added a CcnNetwork to the remote station to which you are connected.

To access CcnNetwork properties, expand Config > Drivers, right-click CcnNetwork and select Views > Ccn Network View.
The Ccn Network Property Sheet opens.
To configure a discovery job to discover points, set the following properties to true: Create Tables and Auto Create Points. Click Save.
Enabling these properties ensures that the discovery job finds the points that are under the Status Display and adds them along with the device.
In the Nav tree, right-click the CcnNetwork. From the menu, select Views > Ccn Device Manager and click Discover.
The driver discovers the available CcnDevices, which are in the given range, and displays them in the Discovered pane.
Select one or more discovered devices and click Add.
When you select device rows in the top Discovered pane, the Add button becomes active.
As with other drivers, the CCN driver does not open a window before adding the discovered devices to the station database. It simply adds the entries to database.

The CcnNetwork’s monitor routine verifies child CcnDevices by pinging them based on duration frequency.
To edit Device Name, Bus Num, or Element Num, select a row and click Edit.
The device Edit window opens.
To view the added tables and points, expand CcnNetwork > CcnDevice > Points and double-click the type of table.
Select the points to add and click Add.
The driver adds the discovered table and points to the database.
