Example: Verify the network connections

This section discusses using Composer Pro views to verify the network connections.

Note: This process followsExample: Verify the network connections.”

There are two places to verify network connections:

  • The Network tab (shown below)
  • The Tools menu

Follow the instructions below to check your connections in both locations.

To check your connections from both locations:

  1. From the Connections view > Network tab, verify that every device that communicates to the controller using TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, and/or Zigbee has a network address. If a device doesn’t have a network address, the device needs to be identified.
  1. To identify a device from this location, right-click on the device and select Identify (or click the Identify button). Follow the on-screen instructions provided for each device, such as those listed in the following table.
  2. After identifying the network connection, the device’s address appears in the list.
