Extron Electronics VN-Matrix 250 User Guide - Manual (Page 41)

Tabs Shared by Both the Encoder and Decoder
Some of the tabs listed in this section, for example the Device List (see below), Accounts
(see page 36), Alarms (see page 37), and Alarm Logs tabs (see page 38), can be
accessed without first selecting a device.
Other tabs, for example the
License (see page 44), Upgrade (see page 40), and
Peripherals (see page 41) tabs, can only be selected once a device has been selected.
However, the options in these tabs are identical whether you navigate to the page from an
encoder or a decoder. Therefore, they have also been included in this Shared Tabs section.
Save All , Help , and Logout are available in all screens, although these function as buttons
rather than tabs.
Save All saves changes you have made:
On the Device List page, Save All saves all changes on the system.
On the Device page, Save All saves only the changes to that device.
Help provides a context‑sensitive help page that explains the features of the tab that is
currently open.
Logout , logs you out of the system.
Device list tab
The control program opens to the Device List tab.
Figure 20. VN-Matrix Device List Tab.
When the Device List tab is selected, the Accounts and Alarms tabs become available.
The Device List lists all the devices in the system, using the following icons:
