55.5 Menus
The Discovery window contains a menu bar by which
additional functionality is accessed.
55.5.1 CobraNet
• Update Firmware...
Updates the firmware on the selected CobraNet
device(s). Discovery will first upload the existing
firmware in order to identify it from a database of
known firmware versions. The Firmware Update
dialog is then displayed.
Firmware updates are conducted from binary files
located in the Database location.
CobraNet Discovery does not ship with firmware
files. Firmware must be obtained from the respective
CobraNet equipment manufacturer. For the
Praesideo CobraNet Interface the latest firmware
version can be found on the Praesideo DVD in
\Tools\CobraNet\Discovery\Firmware.
• New IP Address...
Assigns a new IP address to the selected device. This
may be used to assign IP addresses when Auto
Assignment is disabled or to override the IP address
assignments given by the Auto Assign mechanism.
• Close
Closes and exits the application.
55.5.2 Edit
• Copy
Copies the contents of the Discovery window to the
clipboard as comma separated values. Information
may then be pasted into a text editing program,
saved with a .csv file extension, and then opened in a
spreadsheet application.
• Select all
Selects (highlights) all devices in the Discovery
window. Selected devices are eligible for Update
Firmware, New IP Address and Report operations.
55.5.3 View
• Refresh
Clears all data from the list and restarts the discovery
process. This causes all counter values to be reset
to 0. Any non-communicating devices (those with a
red X in their S column) will be removed from the
discovery window.
• Column Chooser...
Opens the Column Chooser dialog.
55.5.4 Tools
• Options...
Opens the Options dialog used to set options for
configuring the CobraNet Discovery program.
• Configure…
Opens the Configuration dialog used to control and
configure CobraNet interfaces. See the CobraNet
Control and Configuration section (55.10).
• Report…
This is used to generate .cvs spreadsheet compatible
report files showing current status and configuration
of one or more CobraNet interfaces. See the Report
Functions section (55.9).
55.5.5 Help
• About CobraNet Discovery…
Displays CobraNet Discovery copyright and version
information.
55.6 Firmware Update dialog
This dialog box is invoked from the CobraNet menu
bar. This function is seldom used for Praesideo
CobraNet Interfaces, as the unit is delivered with the
latest firmware installed. Therefore this function is not
described here. For more information, please check the
dedicated CobraNet Discovery user manual that can be
found in the CobraNet Discovery program folder after
installation (English only).
