Once the Network IP boxes (1) have been entered with the correct Subnet, you then type in a range of Nodes (2)

AVIGATION
Whatever Node is entered in the first box will
be the particular ConveyLinx data shown in
the remainder of the main screen.
The Node value entered in the second box
does not have to be the actual "last" node of
the network. If you enter a Node value
higher that exists; an error message will
display after you click the "Refresh" button.
For the example shown; if there were only 10
Nodes installed and you entered 12, you
would receive 2 error messages in succession
after clicking the "Refresh" button.
Clicking the "+" and "-" buttons will
increment / decrement the Node value in the
first box and display the ConveyLinx data for
the new Node selected. Please note that if
you increment past the value of the last
physical Node installed, you will receive an
error message.
