check box is selected by default.

The

Refresh

button is available if you clear the

Autobrowse

check box. Clicking the

Refresh

button instructs RSWho to perform one browse cycle of the selected device or network. Since clicking the button only performs one browse cycle, you may need to click multiple times to discover everything on the network.

The

EDS file auto-upload

button indicates whether the EDS files automatic upload and registration function is enabled. If you turn on the

EDS file auto-upload

button, RSLinx Classic automatically uploads and registers EDS files of unrecognized online devices upon device and network browsing. By default, the button is turned off, and the automatic upload and registration function is disabled.

For more details, see Automatically upload and register EDS files of devices in RSWho.

The

button indicates how devices and networks show in the list control (right pane) in the

Show large icons

button, devices and networks show as large icons. By default, the button is turned on, and devices and networks show as large icons.

Be patient when browsing some networks, such as through a 1785-KA, as it may appear that no devices exist, but the update is only being delayed as

RSWho

checks all possible station addresses.
