Using the My Drivers tab

In the System Design view, click the My Drivers tab to find device drivers and add them to the project tree (if you are not using Auto Discovery).

To use the My Drivers tab:

  1. Install and connect the physical devices that need to be added to the Composer Pro project.
  2. In the project tree, click the room to add the driver to.
  3. In the System Design view, click the My Drivers tab in the Items pane.
  1. Locate the device and double-click or drag the device to the System Design pane's project tree.

  1. Locate the added driver in the IP Network Connections pane.
