Configuring a new virtual node

Situation up until now: Virtual nodes are not DPLN-dependent.
With the VNR feature it is now possible to configure DPLN groups in virtual nodes.
The user can configure a new virtual node as DPLN-dependent by deactivating the corresponding checkboxes for particular DPLN groups. A standard DPLN group must then be selected. In the selection list for the standard DPLN group, all authorized DPLN groups are offered.

Forwarding information to virtual nodes

In the Virtual Nodes (KNDEF) dialog, data regarding the selected virtual node can be forwarded to other systems in the same domain or to all systems in the network. With this new function, users can correctly configure virtual nodes. When correctly configured, a virtual node will have the same access code (VNAC) in all systems.
As the access code for virtual nodes (VNAC) cannot be modified for systems where VNR is activated, the forwarding function can only be used when configuring new virtual nodes.
