DIP switch Match is active only in the Online state and Operate mode. The indicator color represents the
status of detected Physical DIP switch settings when compared to the corresponding Configuration settings.
DIP switch status warnings and faults are discussed in Section 6.7.3.
6.4.3 Editing Functions in Device view
6.4.3.1 Overview
MA Netcontrol provides tools for creating an offline configuration “from scratch ”, or for editing an existing
configuration. With these tools, you can create a “virtual amplifier system” for a specific application. The pre-
configured “virtual system” then can be matched to the new physical configuration, with MA Netcontrol’s
match function ensuring that the physical amplifier racks were configured correctly.
6.4.3. Add Device
To add a device to the configuration, click on the Add Device button on the toolbar. Alternatively, you may
select “Add new device” from the Edit menu, right-click and select from pop-up menu, or press the Alt+D
keys.
An “Add Device” command displays this pop-up window (Figure 12):

Select the amplifier type. If the device is to be placed in a new subnet, select this option (A new subnet will
be created automatically). The device will be placed in the first open position in the existing subnet or in the
new subnet.
6.4.3.3 Insert Device
This function is similar to Add Device, except the new device is inserted immediately before the currently
selected device. The position numbers of succeeding devices are increased by one.
6.4.3.4 Replace Device
This function is similar to Add device, except the new device replaces the currently selected device.
6.4.3.5 Copy, Paste, and Paste to subnet…
You may select any device and use the Copy and Paste functions to replace another device with the copied
device type and name.
Use the “Paste to subnet” menu command to paste the selected and copied device into a new subnet.
Note: If a subnet is full, the add, insert and paste functions will be disabled for that subnet.
