Removing openGear Frames from a Tree View
This section outlines how to remove an openGear frame from a Tree View in DashBoard. Once a
frame is removed, DashBoard no longer reports the status in the Tree View and you are no longer
able to monitor or control the affected devices. If communication with a frame is disconnected via
the Disconnect option, the status indicator is set in light grayed until the frame is re-connected. If
the status indicator is a dark gray, with the rest of the node appearing normal, a connection cannot
currently be established to the device.
Use the following procedure to remove or disconnect an openGear frame from the Tree View:
1. If the frame you are removing is in a Custom Folder, you must first delete the frame
from the Custom Folder before it can be removed from the Tree View.
2. To remove a manually added openGear frame from the Tree View:
• Right-click the openGear frame you wish to remove.
• Select to remove the openGear frame from the Tree View.
3. To disconnect communications to an openGear frame from DashBoard:
• Toggle to off.
• Right-click the openGear frame you wish to disconnect.
• Select .
• The frame status indicator is grayed out in the Tree View.
4. To re-connect to an openGear frame:
• Right-click the frame status indicator.
• Select or toggle to on.
This completes the procedure to remove or disconnect an openGear frame from the Tree View.
Auto-Discovery
Selecting for an auto-detected frame will temporarily remove the frame but the frame will
re-appear in the Tree View again due to the auto-discovery feature of DashBoard. You must first
disable the auto-discovery feature before you can remove a frame in this instance. Refer to the
section “Automatic Discovery” on page 6-3 for details on configuring the auto-discovery
feature.
However, you can still disconnect from an auto-discovered frame by toggling the Automatic
Discovery option off.
