Resolution
- Get a Current Database Backup and create dmp files as needed.
- Go offline editing
- Change the serial numbers of the original controllers to a false serial number.
- Manually create all the Infinet controllers on the new destination commport assigning them the same or available Infinet ID as the controller that is on the original commport but a false serial number.
- Drag and drop copy all the points and programs from the original controller to the new controller.
- Verify that all the points and programs were correctly copied and are intact.
- Then go into the new controllers and change their serial numbers to what the serial numbers of there originating controllers were.
- Then move the physical infinet connection from the original commport to the new commport.
- Next go back to online editing. At this point you should see all your infinet controllers come back on line.
- Reload the controller that previously owned the Infinet controllers
- Reload the controller that how owns has the Infinet controller
- Finally reload the complete site. This last step is essential to ensure that there are not lingering handle conflicts.
It is important to note that any controllers that are referencing points in the relocated controllers will have to have these object references verified and repaired in cases where the references have been lost.
