Description
Check Identity
This property defines the rule that Control Expert uses to compare the configured versus the actual remote device. These are the available settings:
  • Must match exactly: The DTM or EDS file exactly matches the remote device.
  • Disable: The checking function does not run. The identity portion of the connection is filled with zero values (the default setting).
  • Must be compatible: When the remote device is not the same as defined by the DTM/EDS, it emulates the DTM/EDS definitions.
  • None—no checking occurs; the identity portion of the connection is omitted
  • Custom: Enable the following parameter settings individually.
When Check identity is set to Custom, complete these fields:
Compatibility Mode
  • True: For each of the following selected tests, the DTM/EDS and remote device are compatible.
  • False: For each of the following selected tests, the DTM/EDS and remote device match exactly.
Minor Version
For each of these, select a setting:
  • Compatible: Include the parameter in the test.
  • Not checked: Do not include the parameter in the test.
