devices from RSSecurity Server

Edit security settings for the device in the

Resource Editor

. The imported devices do not necessarily appear in the

tree.

Refreshing the

Networks and Devices

tree does not update the devices that are currently connected to the network,

This often means that

RSLinx Classic

has not been updated to show the devices. For example, a

RSLogix 5000

chassis on Ethernet presents only the IP address of the chassis but does not show the devices in the chassis. If this happens in

FactoryTalk Administration Console

, and refreshing the

Networks and Devices

tree does not correct the problem, open

RSWho

in

RSLinx Classic

and then browse the backplane by expanding the + symbol beside the device. When you next refresh the

Networks and Devices

tree in

FactoryTalk Administration Console

, the devices should appear.
