The Set Active Path command is also available via the Set active path button in the Communication Settings view of the device editor. This means that all actions concerning communication will refer to this channel. The command will also be executed by double-clicking the channel entry.
The current active path will be displayed bold in the list, and (active) will be appended:
If a device has been set as the active path, but was not reachable during the last scan network, it will be displayed in italics.
NOTE: The information concerning the device that was recently set as active path is stored on the local system and can be automatically restored at a login without communication settings configured.
