Forcing a Device Offline

TurnipTruck

Is there a way to force a device offline?

I would like to be able to watch the online events without rebooting the whole system.

Thanks.

Is it a device you can simply power down during run time and then just power up like a TP?

If the device is a touch panel, just send the panel an upload without any changes.

Netlinx devices, like touch panels, will accept a "reboot" command from a telnet session to the master, if you don't mind them coming back online when they are finished booting. Tat also inlcudes "built in" devices, like the IR and serial ports of an NI controller, though that's an all-or-nothing deal, it boots the whole controller (but not the master itself). For example, an NI200, if I connect to the master and type in "reboot 5001," then all the NI ports go offline, then online again.

I am trying to get a virtual device off and online without a master reboot.

Virtual devices don't go offline by design. If you try to reboot a virtual device via telnet you get a Reboot Timeout error.

Are you trying to uncombine the virtual device?
