Reset device I/O configuration
You can use this button to reset the entire module configuration.
Owner
If a module configuration has already been carried out on the ibaM-COM device, the last owner of this module configuration is displayed here.
After delivery or resetting to factory settings, this field is empty.
The owner corresponds to the computer name on which ibaPDA is installed and from which this device was last configured.
If a module configuration is locked or blocked and another ibaPDA system wants to access this module or use it for recording, the following messages appear depending on the situation:
The <Refresh> button can be used to call up the current owner of the module configuration from the device at any time.
Meaning of the colors:
|
Green |
The ibaPDA system that is currently accessing it is the owner.  The ibaPDA system system that is currently accessing it is the owner and has locked the module configuration.  |
|
Orange |
Another ibaPDA system is the owner, but has not locked the module configuration.  No owner is displayed (on delivery or reset to factory settings).  |
