LDIB Editor
You can check the network addresses and other parameters and make any necessary changes using the LDIB Editor.
- To open the editor, click the LDIB Editor tab at the bottom of the Node Table. If you loaded a new or changed a batch file, click Refresh to see the current values.
- If you need to change the IP address of a VMD, you can change it in the Network Address column and then click Apply from the bottom of the screen.
- If you think your VMD or VCC addressing parameters are incorrect, you can check under the TSEL, SSEL, PSEL, AP Title, and AE Qualifier columns to see what they are set to in your configuration, make any necessary changes, and apply your changes by clicking Apply.
Note: These changes will override values that you set if you or someone else loaded one or more batch files. However, you can restore these values if you reload the original batch file(s).

LDIB File for LEC Server’s OCX ActiveX MMS Client Interface
If your configuration needs to communicate with the LiveData MMS Client ActiveX Control facility, and you change an address or any of the networking parameters of a VMD in LDIB, you need to use the Write LDIB.ini button. Clicking Write LDIB.ini exports your VMD network addressing records into the requisite INI file format, which the LiveData MMS Client ActiveX Control facility requires to resolve VMD names to network addresses. Note that you do not have to click this button for changes to prototype nodes, nodes, or connectors.
Another use of the Write LDIB.ini button is to generate the LDIB.ini file, which allows you to validate your configured VMD addressing information.
Clicking the Write LDIB.ini button will replace the existing LDIB.ini with one that matches the LDIB for the current configuration. Existing entries in LDIB.ini will be overwritten.
