Operating Modes
NOTICE
Changing the domain address of a device communicating on the link
will remove any bindings previously created for that device. It will also
cause that device to stop communicating on the link.
This feature is not available in the server-connected mode and should not be used on Tracker and
Tracer Summit sites.
Tracer SCs with their domain ID changed in this fashion must have all their equipment deleted,
rediscovered, and then re-installed in Tracer SC.
To change multiple devices to a new network domain:
1. Set the discovery domain to the existing network configuration.
2. Discover the link.
3. Set the installation domain and subnet to the new domain and subnet.
4. From the Group menu or right click on any device type node in the Active Group Tree and select
5. A warning appears
6. Click Yes.

Additional Information
Considerations for BCU Links
For LonTalk links managed by a BCU, you can place Rover in the active mode (to create bindings)
either before or after the BCU is installed on the link. When entering the active mode before the BCU
is on the link, make sure that you later choose to add to or discover an existing link from Site
Configuration in the Tracer Summit software then clear RAM on the BCU. If you choose to create
a new link, any bindings that you have created will be lost.
Considerations for Tracker Links
For LonTalk links managed by a Tracker controller, enter the active mode only after the Tracker
controller is installed and operating on the link. The Tracker controller configures the network when
it first becomes active (or is restored) on the link, removing any existing bindings that you have
created.
Considerations for Third-party Links
Use only the passive mode on third-party (non-Trane) networks. In the active mode, Rover may
cause problems on third-party networks. Use the third-party service tool to create bindings.

Install (not available when individual devices are selected in the tree). This will move all
discovered devices on the link, not just the device types selected.
