    I have a number of devices (all differnet types) that say in the "exists in Database" column and "exists on Network" column say "Address only" rather than "Yes" or "No" what does this mean ??

    Hi Charlie,

    The columns "Exists in Database" and "Exists on Networks" can have any of 3 values.

    Yes = the units at that address match on both unit type and serial number
    Address Only = the units match on unit type, but not serial number
    No = the units at that address don't match unit type

    I've logged an entry to explain this a bit better in the Help (#9520)

    Cheers!

    This all makes sence for 1 unit. it was a dimmer that failed and was replaced "using the wizard"

    why does the "Wizard" not update the database serial number ??

    If I open the network and then save to database why does the serial number not save ??

    I have about 20 others that say "Address only" but they have the same serial numbers. what is interesting is if I open the item in database view the "Address only changes" to "Yes" as soon an you open. if you open in "network view" the "Address only changes" to "Yes" if you cancel or OK or APPLY with out changing anything.

    I went through and got all the items to be "YES"

    then quit and restarted (C-Gate still running)

    and the "address only" came back. only one unit type but not all of them

    Thanks Charlie - definitely something odd going on... we'll have a look into it (#4780)
