ZWave Device Manager

The ZWave Device Manager (Figure 6) is the default view for the ZWaveNetwork, and works similar to other device managers that support online device discovery (with differences noted below). See “About the Device Manager” in the Drivers Guide for general information.

NoteThe ZWave Device Manager is unique from most Device Managers in that there are no “add” or “new” buttons—device components are added automatically as a result of “replication” or other network management functions. See the next section Buttons (network management functions) for details.

From this view see all the Z-Wave slave devices on the network, along with their statuses. Figure 6 shows an example ZWave Device Manager view shortly after installing the JACE (as an SIS), where a “ReplicateReceive” (with resulting discovery) and “TransferPrimary” had been performed.

Double-click any device for an Edit dialog (Figure 7), or select multiple devices and click the Edit button, if needed.

Device defaults are like those shown in the Figure 7 (left) dialog above, where:

Typically you change a ZWaveDevice’s name, as shown in Figure 7, right.

See ZWaveDevice for more details on ZWave device components.

In this view, go to the points manager of any ZWaveDevice shown by double-clicking on its (Points) icon under the Exts column. See ZWave Point Manager.
