System Status: Active vs. Inactive
You may have multiple systems within a Project, but only one is designated as the "Active System", meaning that all communication with the master controller (i.e. diagnostics, online tree, etc.) will be done with the communications settings of the selected System.
- The currently active System appears in bold in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar
- The Status Bar indicates the active System’s communication settings (FIG. 60).

Designating the Active System
To designate the active System, select a System in the Workspace tab, then select Set as Active System from the Project menu. If there is an active connection to a master controller when you select a System to be active, the program will prompt you to see if you want to stop the current connection and continue with the active System’s communication settings.
