Name | Enter a name for the nodeNode. The system lets you know if the name is not valid. |
Channel | Select the channel for this nodeNode. For more information about the configuration for common protocols, click Help at the top of the tab. |
Primary Station | Enter the information required to access the primary nodeNode, based on the protocol selected. |
Backup Station | Enter the information required, based Based on the protocol, enter the required information to access the backup nodeNode. When the backupstation backup station is defined, and a communication failure occurs on the primary station, the system automatically attempts to establish communication with the backup station. |
