How does the RTU Interrogator feature work with the EDGE unit?

CallistoView now incorporates a feature called the RTU interrogator. Prior to downloading a configuration to a node, the interrogator will query the node and retrieve information about the type of node, its IP address, a user definable node label, and information about other nodes in the Arcnet network.

This information allows the user to verify that the node they are connected to is the intended unit. If the user believes that they are connected to the incorrect unit, they can simply abort the download without changing the configuration of the unit they are connected to - otherwise, they can proceed with the download. This feature was added especially for users who configure their RTUs remotely or through Ethernet.
