Control Panel Tabs

The table below lists examples of typical control panel tabs and their associated parameters:

The control panel for some devices contains a Load Factory button. Click this button to reset
the device parameters in the active tab to their original factory values.

Device Info

The Info tab of a control panel displays general information
related to a device, and is available for all device types. The
Info tab includes identification information such as a
device’s label, short label, type, comments, source ID,
configuration status, frame number, and slot number.

TIP: To quickly display the Info tab for a device, right-click the
device in iC Navigator, and then click
Show info control
panel
.

Under the Info tab, you can change the name of the
selected device, as well as enter comments. By default, the
device name is its type identification. However, you may find
it helpful to give devices more meaningful names. Once you
change the device name in the control panel, the name of
the item is also changed in the iC Navigator display, making
it easier to locate.

You can also register a device with the lookup service on a
remote Application Server using Remote system administration.

Note: If you encounter the message

Control Panel Not Available

, it means that

your selection has not been implemented as a controllable device in iControl. You
can view the status of such a device, but you cannot modify any of its parameters.
