Creating a machine

When adding the NXT machine to a line, remember that bases that are next to each other
should be grouped together to form a single NXT "machine". Up to 32 modules can be
grouped together in this way.
1. With a line in the group pane selected, right-click in the group contents pane and select
[New] – [Machine...] to display the [New Machine] dialog box.
2. The factory name and line name display in the top of the dialog box. Ensure that the
names are correct. If the names are incorrect, select the correct name from the drop-
down list.
3. If the [Display model names in line information] setting has been selected in Server
Setup, enter the model name for the machine in the [Model name] group. This is used
to decide if a recipe can be transmitted to a certain machine or not. If the model name
does not match the name of the machine in the job, then transmission is not possible.
If the [Display model names in line information] option has not been selected, then
[Model name] does not display.
Note:
4. Select "NXT" for the machine type from the drop-down list.
Note:
5. Select the line machine order. If this is the first machine, then only one option is
available.
6. Enter the machine nickname. This displays in Transmission Control and in the group
list. If the [Display model names in line information] option has not been selected, then
this must match the name of the machine in the job to enable transmission.

Machine] dialog box displays.

[Base Name] column and the [Enter Computer Name] dialog box displays.

column and the [Enter Computer Name] dialog box displays.

The same model name in a line should never be repeated within the same line even for a machine in
the line configured the same. Same model names can only be used across lines.
If the NXT machine type does not exist, then it is possible that the license has not been upgraded, and
the modules and settings have not been upgraded with the new license. Upgrade the license and then
upgrade the modules and settings for the Director computers using the license upgrade.
Machine nicknames cannot be repeated and must be unique for each machine.
