An automatically sensed controller must be commissioned in order to be fully functional in the system. When the system first senses a controller on the network, the controller is displayed in the Decommissioned Controllers section of the Explorer. A decommissioned controller does not have an ID, an address, or a name. It is not bound to any controller definition in the database. Commissioning is the process of dragging the controller icon from the Decommissioned Controllers section to the Control Network section within the Explorer. Commissioning a controller assigns an address and ID to the controller, and prompts you to supply a name and description.
