iControl Solo shows the current status of every device and service within your iControl Solo
system. By default, iControl Solo displays the following information for each device:
Control Panels and Device Parameters
Most Miranda devices can be controlled using control panels. A control panel is a software
interface that lets you monitor and control various device parameters.
To access the control panel for a device, double-click the device in iControl Solo. Alternatively,
right-click the device name, and then click Show control panel on the shortcut menu.
The device name is displayed at the top of its control panel, along with a dashboard containing
one or more icons representing the status of key device parameters. Error conditions are
indicated by color and by a text message that appears below the dashboard. If more than one
error condition is present, hold the pointer over an icon to continuously display its associated
error message; otherwise the display cycles through all reported errors.
Status icon Green (OK), yellow (warning), red (error), or grey (not connected) (see "Alarm Status" , on page 22).
Label The device type (by default) or a user-specified name. The text color reflects the device configuration
status.
See:
• "Changing Device Information" on page 32
• "Reference Configuration" on page 22
• "Adding Cards to the Reference Configuration" on page 33
• "Removing Cards from the Reference Configuration" on page 34
Short label Abbreviated 8-character label.
Source ID Name of the signal source.
Device type The device type.
Comments Optional; may be entered by the user.
Config status Whether the device is or is not part of the Reference Configuration, also if there is a mismatch
between the actual and defined device (see
"Reference Configuration" , on page 22).
Frame Name of the frame housing the device (when applicable).
Slot Number of the slot where the device is located inside the frame (when applicable).
Note: Miranda cards are shipped with Installation & Operation Guides that provide
detailed descriptions of their respective control panels, along with instructions on
their use.
Note: If the Control icon on the dashboard is yellow, this indicates that local
card control is active—the card is being controlled from a local hardware
control panel. In such a case, any changes made using the iControl Solo
interface will have no effect on the card.
