To access this view, expand LonIpNetwork and double-click the Ip Channel container or right-click Ip Channel and click Views > Member Manager..

If you set up this network with a third-party (non-framework) Config Server, use this table for information. This table is composed of automatically-created child ChannelMember components. No additions or edits using this view are necessary.

If you set up LonIpNetwork with this station acting as the Config Server, use this view to add and edit the necessary ChannelMember components, via the New and Edit buttons.
