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.
