<p id="siteSub">Static routes can be set in Application Preferences
|
||
|
|
as well as in <a href="File Preferences.html">File Preferences</a>.
|
||
|
|
 Where a device is on a different subnet to the pc, it is possible
|
||
|
|
to set up a static route to get a direct connection to that device.
|
||
|
|
 Since static routes which are set in file preferences are saved
|
||
|
|
as part of the design file, it is not possible to <a href="File_Menu_-_Open_from_Device_Network.htm">open
|
||
|
|
the design from the device network</a> when it is on a different subnet.
|
||
|
|
Setting static routes in Application Preferences allows you to 'see'
|
||
|
|
the device in London Architect and then open the design from a device
|
||
|
|
on the network which is on a different subnet.  Where there is
|
||
|
|
a conflict of IP addresses FIle Preferences will always take priority.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>The table has three columns and an optional description. The columns
|
||
|
|
are:</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Enable check box. A static route can be enabled and disabled.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- IP Address is the IP address of the remote device.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Device column is not user editable, but shows the name of the
|
||
|
|
device on the network if the static route is found.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2>The buttons do the following:</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Add</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Provides a pop-up dialog where a new route can be added. Enter the
|
||
|
|
IP address of the remote device and an optional description here.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="Addstatic.jpg" alt="Image:addstatic.jpg" title="Image:addstatic.jpg" style="border-width: 2px; border-style: solid; margin-top: 0px;
|
||
|
|
margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;" width="405" height="203" border="2"></p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Edit</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Edit button shows the same dialog as Add but is filled with
|
||
|
|
the selected routes values. The route can then be edited.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Remove</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Remove button allows the removal of one or more routes (the
|
||
|
|
list of routes allows multiple select).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Auto</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Auto button will populate the static routes with the devices
|
||
|
|
currently on the network. This will be useful prior to the use of
|
||
|
|
VPN when an installer is on site and can add all devices in one go.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Apply</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Apply button applies any changes. When the changes are applied,
|
||
|
|
the static routes are set up in the network stack, and the network
|
||
|
|
view is refreshed. Discovery will start on any routes just added and
|
||
|
|
the remote devices will appear in the network window. Newly added
|
||
|
|
routes which have been discovered will add the name of the discovered
|
||
|
|
devices in the "Device" column.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Note</b></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Static routes create additional network traffic which may be undesirable
|
||
|
|
on large networks.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <a href="BLU-8 Programming and Operation.html">BLU-8</a> cannot
|
||
|
|
control devices on remote subnets, the <a href="BLU-8_V2_Programming_and_Operation.htm">BLU-8v2</a>
|
||
|
|
however, can control devices on remote subnets.</p>
