Screenshot of RsWho with lots of processors on Ethernet

Hi everyone I'm trying to stress the importance of naming your processors instead of leaving them at the default of "UNTITLED" when trying to identify your processor on a network but haven't browsed a large Ethernet since the last time I dumped my harmony files to be a good example. Could someone who has 20 or 30 processors in their RsWho send me a screen shot? It would be even nicer if it had a few "UNTITLED" processors to emphasize the point. Thanks TW

Well, I have my Ethernet Devices drivers set up so that they are segregated by plant area, and the Ethernet IP driver doesn't show the processor name. All of our processors are named ... I can't imagine leaving that field "UNTITLED"...I suppose those who don't deal with muti-drop networks much may leave that default text, but you are right...they should all have a name. We have some OEM locked machines which all have the same name, so we identify those by the order of IP addresses of the digi-iap modules to which they're attached.

That's what I needed Paul. Thanks!
