<h1 class="firstHeading">Static Routes - Application Preferences</h1>
<div id="bodyContent">
<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>
