of the window (text boxes in the right part of Scanned Devices list). Short stands for
short/individual address, and should be a number between 0 and 63. Device name can be
any name that is meaningful to you to identify this ballast later on. Finally, press button Add
to DB to add the ballast to the ballast database.
This will make the ballast disappear from the list of scanned ballasts and appear in the list
Devices in Database, like shown below.
The ballast database is the list of ballasts with assigned short address that IntesisBox
continuously monitors for checking their status.
Proceed to add the remaining scanned ballasts until you have them all added into the
database. Keep in mind that short addresses assigned to each of the ballasts in the channel
must be unique.
Once you have a ballast in the database, you can perform following operations, using their
corresponding buttons:
Change its short address (by using proper text box and button under label Set, next
to the Devices in database list).
Change the name for identifying it (also by using proper text box and button under
label Set, next to the Devices in database list).
Wink it, in order to test it or locate it physically.
Delete it from the database – this will remove ballasts' short address from the
database, and the ballast will appear in the list of Scanned Devices over again.
Delete All ballasts from database – same as previous option, but for all ballasts in
the database.
Refresh the database. This option retrieves the database from a working IntesisBox
you have just connected LinkBoxBacnet to, so to know the list of addressed ballasts
it is monitoring.
After adding ballasts into the database, or Refreshing the database itself, you will also get
feedback on the current communication status of the ballast:
Ballast is Online when IntesisBox detects it in the bus (i.e., ballast answers DALI poll
requests triggered from IntesisBox). Shown also by icon
Ballast is Offline when IntesisBox does not detect it in the bus (i.e., ballast does not
answer DALI poll requests triggered from IntesisBox). Shown also by icon
for short address.
