Replacing an endpoint
At some point you may need to replace an existing endpoint in the NAV system, for example to increase
functionality by replacing an encoder with a unit that provides Ethernet extension. Either a system backup file or
an encoder backup file make the process simpler, however the process can be completed without one.
Replace an endpoint as follows:
1. If possible, create either a system backup file (see
backup file for the endpoint to be replaced (see "BACKUP tab" in the User Guide for the applicable endpoint,
available at www.extron.com).
2. Unassign the old endpoint as follows:
a. On the Endpoints > General page, click the checkbox for the to-be-replaced endpoint (see figure 109,
).
