Alias Table Summary
You can display a summary of the usage and availability of alias table entries for a device. The usage
and availability is displayed in a ToolTip for a device. The device shape ToolTip lists the total number
of network variable aliases for the device, and the number of aliases currently available.
An alias table entry is allocated on a sending device when you create an alias multi-unicast connection
and is also consumed on either the sending or destination device when required to resolve network
variable selector conflicts. The number of alias table entries available on a device is determined by the
device manufacturer. The LonMaker tool will use alias table entries on a device when required if they
are available.
To view the alias table summary, move the pointer over the desired device shape and keep it there for
the ToolTip delay. The default ToolTip delay (number of milliseconds the pointer needs to be
positioned over a LonMaker shape for the ToolTip to appear) is two seconds. The device shape
ToolTip will then appear. The total and available network available alias counts are by default the last
two items listed in the ToolTip.
You can set the data displayed by the ToolTip and the default delay in the network properties: Shape
ToolTips options category (see Shape ToolTips Options in Appendix A for more information).
