This software provides the Beacon function that causes the LED(s) of a device to blink as a way of determining which device actually corresponds to the selected device icon. This function can be used even while devices are in operation.
Double-click a device icon of this software to display the Side view of the device. Select and right-click the devices listed in the Side view to display their pop-up menus. Select [Blink Beacon] - [Start] from each pop-up menu so that the Beacon LED(s) of a device blinks for three minutes. No menu with this selection is available for devices that do not support this function. To stop blinking, select [Blink Beacon] - [Stop] from the appropriate pop-up menu.
Use of this method for recognizing devices and support of the function are explained below.
