    If you plan to use any of the ports on them, yes, you need to declare them as devices. I would even if not, just to make it easier to load any firmware updates that come along.

    The Enova DGX has a master built into it. You'll have to give it a different system number than your 2100, and then you can access it's devices like any other M2M setup; so if the Enova is system 2, declare the devices in your 2100 as 5001:1:2 (instead of 0 on the end), etc.

    You need to declare any device that you need to interact with in the program. A master is not a device ... it's a master, but all the other parts of the Enova (the matrix switch, the RS-232 port) are devices, just like an NI-200 has a master that loads the program, and the ports all wind up on device 5001 (typically). All the device declarations necessary are documented on the Enova manual (and I find the online ones more helpful than what came with it).

    You would declare your camera on whichever master is running the code that controls it. Once master-to-master is set up, the program will be able to talk to any device connected to both masters, so the physical connection really doesn't matter; it's where the program is running that matters.
