PortVision DX Overview
PortVision DX automatically detects Comtrol Ethernet-attached products
physically attached to the local network segment so that you can configure the
network address, upload firmware, and manage the following products:
•
DeviceMaster family

DeviceMaster PRO
-
DeviceMaster RTS
-
DeviceMaster Serial Hub

RocketLinx switches
In addition to identifying Comtrol Ethernet-attached products, you can use
PortVision DX to display any third-party switch and hardware that may be
connected directly to those devices. All non-Comtrol products and unmanaged
RocketLinx switches are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited
feature support. For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-
party switch.
