Viewing Devices and Services in iC Navigator
When they first start up, devices and services announce themselves to a lookup service
(running on an Application Server on the local subnet), which then makes them available to
iC Navigator. iC Navigator shows ALL services (GSM, Densité Manager, Router Manager,
composite panels, third party device drivers, etc.) and devices (Densité/ Imaging frames and
their cards, third party devices, etc.) detected by the lookup process.
A service can be running, and appear in iC Navigator, even if there are no physical devices
associated with it. For example, the Densité Manager can be running, but until you configure it
with the addresses of the Densité frames, only the service will appear in iC Navigator. If a
service is not running, it will not appear in iC Navigator.
Sorting
There are three icons at the bottom of the iC Navigator window that allow you to change the
sort order.
Figure 5-2
Sorting allows you to determine the way in which devices will be arranged for display in
iC Navigator. Three sorting modes are available:
• Logical view displays all devices registered on the lookup server, including 3rd party
devices, as well as active services. The devices and services may be organized into groups,
which can be created by any user. Groups and their contents are arranged in alphabetical
REQUIREMENTS
Make sure you meet the following conditions before beginning this procedure:
• You have opened iControl (see page 696 ).
• You have opened iC Navigator (see page 719 ).
Note: It is possible for a service to appear active (green) in Webmin, yet still not
appear in iC Navigator. This can happen if the service stopped after the Webmin page
was displayed. Try restarting the service in Webmin, and then check iC Navigator
again.
