The Network view gives an overview of devices connected to the Green-GO network and displays information about these devices as well as their current connection status.

Config Members¶

For devices to be connected to the Green-GO Control software, they need to be a member of the same config. To make a device a member of a config, it can either be adopted to the current config loaded in Green-GO Control or join the config that is loaded on a device on the network.

Adopt Devices¶

to adopt one or multiple Not adopted device(s) to the current config file:

• Tick their corresponding checkboxes
• Click the ADOPT button
• Click YES on the popup to adopt the selected devices
• The device status will then change to connected

• Select one of the devices that has the required config
• Click the JOIN button
• Click YES on the popup to join the config on the selected device
• The status of all devices with the same config will change to connected

Edit a Device¶

Device specific settings can be changed by selecting the device and clicking the Edit button or double-clicking the device. Doing this prompts a popup window with multiple tabs where properties of the device can be altered.

The name of a device changed by regardless of the selected tab.

IP settings¶

The network settings can be changed by selecting the IP settings tab.

The default Green-GO IP setting is Dynamic. If a DHCP server is present on the network, it will assign an IP address to the devices. If no DHCP server is present, the devices will get a link local self assigned IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range with a subnet of 255.255.0.0. Static addressing is also possible. Make sure all devices and computers are in the same subnet with the same subnet mask and have unique IP addresses.

Cloud¶

The Cloud tab allows to point the device to the Cloud service to setup remote bridged connections with the Cloud connection method

The available options are:

• Default DNS The device will use the default domain names to resolve the cloud services IP addresses
• Custom DNS The device will use a user definable domain names to resolve the cloud services IP addresses
• IP Address The device will use the set IP addresses to connect to the cloud services.

The resolved addresses will be displayed when available

Connection¶
