30. Settings for controlling devices across subnets
If you are controlling devices on a subnet that is different than that of ProVisionaire Design, all devices are
distinguished by their IP address.
For this reason, it is necessary to make settings so that the IP settings of devices placed in ProVisionaire Design
(these are called virtual devices) match the IP settings of devices on the network (these are called real devices).
The IP settings of virtual devices are made in the "Match Device by IP Address" dialog box, and the IP settings of
real devices are made in the "IP Address" dialog box.
Set the IP addresses so that they are unique for the entire communication path. If devices of the same IP
address exist on the communication path, they might not be distinguishable.
First, use the "Match Device by IP Address" dialog box to specify IP addresses for the virtual devices.
1. Place a device in the "Project" sheet.
2.
In ProVisionaire Design’s [System] menu, click [Match Device by IP Address].
The "Match Device by IP Address" dialog box opens.
3. In "IP Address Range Finder," use the [IP Address] text box to enter a representative IP address of the
subnet to which the device to be searched is connected.
4. In "IP Address Range Finder," use the [Subnet Mask] list box to select the subnet mask.
5.
In "IP Address Range Finder," click the [Find Range] button.
The vaild IP addresses’s range is shown in the "Range" field, and an IP address candidate for the default
gateway is shown in the [Default Gateway] text box.
If the default gateway IP address is wrong, edit it.
6. Check the checkbox of the virtual device for which you want to set the IP address.
7. Click the [Apply IP Address] button.
