Create a Block Command Macro for Multiple Networks

Do this procedure to create a macro that sends the same block command to multiple networks.

  • The block command macro you want to send exists for each network that you intend to target. For example BLOCK_ACK_network1, BLOCK_ACK_network2, and so forth. See above.
  1. In System Browser, select Application View.
  1. Select Applications > Logics > Macros.
  • The Macro tab displays.
  1. In System Browser, select the Manual navigation check box.
  1. Under the main Macros folder, expand the Block Command Macros folder.
  1. Create a multi-network macro as follows:
    a. Drag the macro for the first network, for example BLOCK_ACK_network1, into the empty area of the Macro tab.
    b. Drag the macro for the next network, for example BLOCK_ACK_network2, into the empty area of the Macro tab, under the previous macro.
    c. Continue as above for any other networks you want to target.
  • The Macro tab displays multiple rows, each invoking the same block command, but for a different network.
  1. Click Save As .
  1. In the Save Object As dialog box, select the main Macros folder or any subfolder under it as the destination where you want to save this macro.
