Device Panel

The Device Panel is a tool for interrogating individual devices that are in the Performance Workspace. The Device Panel works outside of the grouped controls and grouping rules to give you a clear source of truth for a single device's state. Each device will show it's individual settings and thus differences can be observed for different devices.

Selecting Devices

Unlike NetSetter, Device Panel does not look outside of the devices that have been placed in the Workspace. If a device is in the workspace, it will show in the left column. However, devices that are discovered on the network but are not in the workspace will not show up in Device Panel.

Select the check box of any device in the left panel to view its current parameters.

Selecting more than one device will dynamically create fields for common parameters in the panel on the right. Each parameter has rules that govern what is shown and how mixed values are displayed. In the tables below, each parameter has it's respective rule and mixed state called out.

For example, if two SRX906LA devices are selected, their common "Device Name" parameter would be created and shown on the right. If both strings are the same type, "SRX906LA" in this case, it will show that value. If the types are different, a "-" will be shown, indicating a mixed text parameter.

 

Select the Filter Icon to refine long list of devices for quicker selection.

Device List Information

The Device List Table lists the following information for each device in the workspace. Click any column to sort by that data set.

Data Description
HC ID Shows devices in the workspace sorted by HControl ID.
Device Type Shows the model of each device in the Workspace.
Status

  • Offline - The Device is not connected to the software.

  • Online - The device is connected and in sync.

 

Device Details

When a device is selected, the device details are presented in the right pane sorted by tab. Some information in the details is editable however most parameters are read only.

Device Overview Page

Everything in the Device Overview Tab is read only. It will give you a high level view of the device's state.

The DSP Tab

The DSP tab presents the user DSP settings of the selected device. Many of the controls at the top are modifiable. Changes made in the Device Manager are NOT tracked by the group management and grouping is NOT respected. This can allow for changes that solve specific use cases that the general group functions can not solve.
