Option Menu

There are three user selectable options
which are available in the Options Menu.
Set Max Net Address
allows an up­
per limit to be placed on the range of
LecNet addresses which CheckNet will
check. The default value is 254, which
means that CheckNet will check all
LecNet addresses for active devices .
Since it takes about 12 seconds to com­
plete a CheckNet for all possible ad­
dresses, restricting the Max Net Address
range to just enough to cover the ad­
dresses of LecNet devices actually
present in the system will speed up the
CheckNet process considerably. Note that if the address of a LecNet device is changed (via the
Change Device Address option) to an address which exceeds the Max Net Address, the Max Net
Address will be automatically updated to accommodate the new address range.
Com Port Selection
allows the choice of Com port 1 or Com port 2 for use by LecNet. Since
most laptop style computers have only one serial port, Com port 1 is the default.
CheckNet Startup
Option sets user preference on running the Checknet option at startup. If
the Auto Run at Startup option is selected, a CheckNet will be run automatically at the start of
LecNet Master Pro. If the Prompt at Startup option is selected, the user will be given the option to
run a CheckNet at startup. The default value is Auto Run at Startup.

CheckNet Menu

The Run CheckNet selection of the
CheckNet menu queries LecNet ad­
dresses from 128 to the current Max Net
Address to establish what devices are
present at those addresses. A
CheckNet must be run when LecNet
Master Pro is first run to determine what
device control panels are okay to
launch. If the physical configuration of
the network changes (i.e. devices are
added or taken away) after CheckNet
has been run, simply run CheckNet
again.
