For the Synergis™ unit to communicate with the DDS controllers connected to its RS-485 interface, you must enroll them on the Synergis unit with the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.

1. Log on to the Synergis unit.
2. Click Configuration > Hardware.
3. At the top of the Hardware column, click Add ().
4. In the Add hardware dialog box, select DDS as the Hardware type.
5. Select the Channel (A, B, C, or D) .

   • To enroll automatically, click Scan.

     The scan feature finds and enrolls all interface modules from the same manufacturer that are connected to the same channel.

     If the controller doesn’t find all connected interface modules, make sure they all have a different physical address.

     Once you click Add, the address in the Physical field cycles to the next available address.

7. Click Save.
   The hardware type, channel, and interface module you just added are listed on the Hardware configuration page.
8. For each interface module you added, select it from the Hardware configuration page and configure its settings.
