Default Device Names
After Auto Configuration has been completed, the devices have numeric names, for example,
Reader 2-1-3 is Host Port two (2), Field Panel address one (1), Reader number three (3). You may
want to rename the devices with your own descriptive names. For more detailed information see the
chart below.
For more details on Auto Configuration see
Note: Aside from auto configuring your system and specifically for day-to-day system hardware navigation and editing,
Topaz incorporates a separate device tree page. At any time you can click the Device Tree button in the main tool
bar to navigate to the stand-alone device tree.
Device Tree
The Device Tree is a dynamic “Tree” representation of the entire system’s hardware, from the
server’s communication ports, to all field hardware including workstation field panels (ACURT2/RT4).
