Adding a CcnNetwork using the New button

This procedure uses the New button to add a CcnNetwork under the station’s Drivers container.

Prerequisites: You are using Workbench in a PC and are connected to a remote station.

To access CcnNetwork properties, expand Config and double-click the station’s Drivers container.
The Driver Manager opens.
Click the New button.
The New Device Network window opens.
Select CcnNetwork from the drop-down list, number to add: 1, and click OK.
A second New window opens.
Change the network name or leave it at the default and click OK.
The driver adds the network to the database. You should have a network named CcnNetwork (or whatever you named it), under your Drivers folder.
Update at least these properties and click Save.
- Bus and element ranges for the: First Bus No, Last Bus No, Low Elem No and High Elem No for the devices to discover.
- The driver's Bus Address and Elem Address (typically 230-238).
- The Comm Port.
NOTE: On a controller, configure only the available ports.

As with most other drivers, the status of a CcnNetwork is either {Ok} or less typical {fault} ({fault} may result from a licensing error). The Health slot contains historical timestamp properties that record the last network status transitions from {Ok} to any other status. The Fault Cause property further explains any fault status.
