Node 1
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/Nodes
By default, the system is already Node 1. Nothing to change here.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/IPConnections
By default, Processor Module is P6000 and Expansion Card is P6001. Nothing to change here.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/Nodes
Here, we define the remote Nodes one at a time. Right click, create remote node. We’re creating Node 2, so use extension 97002. If we were creating Node 3, we would use 97003 unless we had to account for Expansion Cards. System will not reboot, but DB Programming will restart.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/NodeIPConnectionGroups
P8000 has been automatically created for Node 2. Put 2 in the description field so you can keep up with which Node this group is for. This description comes in handy when you’re networking multiple nodes.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/IPConnections/97002
Right click, create off node ip connection. Create extension P6002 for Node 2. Double click P6002. Modify Remote IP Address to match IP address of Node 2.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/Nodes/97002/NodeTrunk/IPConnectionGroups
Right click, Add to Node/Trunk/IPConnectionsGroupsList. Add P8000 that was created for Node 2.
Node 2
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/Nodes
Change Node number to Node 2. System will reboot.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/IPConnections
If you’re not using an Expansion Card, just change the Node 2 Processor Module to extension P6002 like we defined it as on Node 1.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/Nodes
Right click, Create Remote Node number 1. Define it as extension P6000. System will not reboot, but DB Programming will restart. ANNOYING!!!!
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/NodeIPConnectionGroups
Here we see that P8000 has again been created by default. Put 1 in the description field because this group has been created for node 1. See how it gets confusing.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/IPConnections/97000
Right click, create off node ip connection. Create extension P6000 for Node 1. Double click P6000. Modify Remote IP Address to match IP address of Node 1.
System/DeviceandFeatureCodes/Nodes/97002/NodeTrunk/IPConnectionGroups
Right click, Add to Node/Trunk/IPConnectionsGroupsList. Add P8000 that was created for Node 1.
Now go to Operations and Export/Import. Always try to Import first. I haven’t had any success Exporting first. I’ve had spotty success with the Network Wizard, so I’ve just abandoned it and used this method.
