following options (FIG. 39):
FIG. 39 Configure Binding Options

Enable Auto Bind

This selection allows an end-user to toggle the state of the automatic binding for DDDP devices
(On/Off).
When auto-binding is enabled, the Master automatically attempts to connect any newly discovered
device with an associated application device (defined in the running NetLinx application).
Auto-binding can only be accomplished if the Master's firmware determines a one-to-one
correlation between the newly discovered device and a single entry within the list of defined
application devices (accessed by pressing the Manage Device Bindings button at the top of the
page).
For example, if the application only has one VCR defined and a VCR is detected in the system,
auto-binding can then be accomplished. If there were two VCRs defined within the application,
auto-binding could not be completed due to the lack of a clearly defined one-to-one correspondence.
When the Enable Auto Bind option is not selected, no auto-binding activity takes place and all
binding of the newly discovered devices must be accomplished manually via the Web control
interface Manage Other Devices.

Enable Module Search on Internet

Clicking this button toggles the capability of searching the Internet (either AMX's site or a device
specified site) for a device's compatible Duet modules. This capability is automatically disabled if
the Master does not have Internet connectivity.
Upon enabling Internet connectivity, the AMX License Agreement is displayed for acceptance. The
AMX License Agreement must be accepted (by pressing the Accept button on the upper-right of the
page) for the Internet Module search to be enabled.
When the Internet search for modules feature is enabled (the button then reads Disable Module
Search via Internet), the Master queries either AMX's Online database of device Modules and/or
pulls Modules from a separate site specified by the manufacturer's device.
You can later disable this feature by toggling this button's state.
4. Click Save Settings.

Troubleshooting - DDDP Devices

There are two error messages that might be received from the NetLinx Master under the following
project conditions:
In this situation the following errors are visible, if you have connected to the Master via telnet, and have
messaging turned on (MSG ON):
58
The Project loaded on the Master uses only DDDP devices (that is, there are zero non-DDDP
devices in the project).
The Master has not been loaded with code files that refer to non-DDDP devices.
