If you created multiple cells for an environment, configure the cells so that they can communicate with other cells in the network.

Events can be processed locally or selectively propagated to other cells. To configure the event slots that must be propagated when they are changed configure the propagation configuration file.

To change the communication protocol between a cell and a device, modify the gateway.export configuration file.

7

To add a time stamp to a slot so that the date and time is recorded when the slot is changed, configure the mcell.modify file.
