If you have associated an app with a device, and then duplicated that device within the station, you must correct the associations in the duplicated device. By default, a duplicated device is associated with the app in the original device. Since each device must be associated with its own, unique app file, the association must be corrected. To correct this, make a copy of the original app, change certain properties within the copy, and then associate this revised app with the duplicate device.
Within each .SAX app file, there are properties that define the device name and app name of its associated device. These properties
(deviceName
and appName
) are configured when you associate a device with the app. When you make a copy of the original app file, these are the properties
that must be changed in the copy to associate the duplicate device name and new app name.
For example, let's assume App1 in your station is associated with Device1 and you want to reuse that app in a second device. So, you duplicate Device1, naming the duplicate device, Device2. Then, make a copy of App1, naming it, App2. Finally, correct the associations in the file named App2, changing the deviceName property from Device1 to Device2, and the appName property from App1 to App2.
Do this for all duplicated devices. If you plan to reuse an app in 25 duplicated devices, you must make 25 copies of the original app file, renaming and editing each copy of the file, and correcting the associations of those app files with the appropriate duplicated device.
