Importing openGear Help
DashBoard allows you to download and install additional help files provided by your openGear
manufacturer, enabling you to display the most recent help files for your device. There are two
methods for importing openGear Help:
• Importing openGear Help Files — This method enables you to import a file or
directory from a location on your network to your DashBoard workstation. Use this
method if you are running Apple® Mac® OS® or Linux® Fedora®.
• Installing a Ross Video openGear Help Pack — This method installs an additional
DashBoard Help feature that provides a library of Ross Video openGear user manuals. If
you are running Microsoft® Windows®, use the procedure provided in the section
“Installing DashBoard Add-on Programs” on page 2-5. Otherwise, use the procedure
for importing openGear Help Files.
