A non-critical warning will be reported when saving shows that include nodes running
older firmware. In the case above, the nodes at 10.0.0.21 and10.0.0.100 both lack two
properties, so PM5 has ignored them. Since both the base node and each individual
port may be lacking properties, this list can be quite long when saving from nodes using
older firmware.
Showfiles are stored in the /showfiles subdirectory of Pathport Manager 5.
The showfile name is given on the title bar of the program, initially shown as “(no show)”.
Once a show is saved or loaded, the name changes to the last showfile name used:
Restoring Showfiles
From the File menu, select Load Show… Choose from the available files and click on
Load Show. A transaction window will open:
In keeping with the philosophy of separating editing from applying changes, once a show
is loaded, the user must still actually send the changes to the node. The buttons here
allow the configuration and patching to be sent from this window, or the changes can be
further reviewed and edited if desired.
Configuration and patches are sent separately because they utilize different methods.
