Flasher Hub - Module Configuration

Module configuration in Flasher Hub's web interface

Flasher Hub allows to configure some options that affect the connected modules. The configuration can be applied using the web interface.

Position

Flex mode: Positions #1, #2, and #3 are reserved, even when no module is connected

A module position is the numerical value assigned to a module. It is used to identify the module in commands and responses of the terminal.
The method used to determine the position of a module depends on the mode in use.

Direct mode

By default, Flasher Hub operates in direct mode. In direct mode, the position of a module is determined by the USB-C connector number that the module is connected to.
A module that is connected to USB-C connector #1 will be assigned module position #1.
A module that is connected to USB-C connector #2 will be assigned module position #2 and so on.

Flex mode

In flex mode, the module positions are not bound to the USB-C connectors in use.
A newly connected module is assigned the first module position that is free. The user can freely choose the positions of modules.

Once a module position is assigned (either by Flasher Hub or by the user), that position is reserved for the respective module. A reserved position will not be assigned to any module other than the one it is reserved for.

The user can instruct Flasher Hub to "forget" a reserved module position. This frees up the module positions again.

Nickname

A nickname can be assigned to a module. The nickname serves as a display name for a module and does not fulfill any other functional purpose.
