Using NetConfig

Copy Function

Use the Copy function in the context menu shown in

Figure 16

to copy a

device and paste it to the Facility View.

Identifying A Device

You can also identify a device on the network using the context menu
opened by right clicking on a device. Clicking on

Identify Device

(

Figure 16 on

page 21

) will blink board LEDs or control panel buttons of that device for a

defined period of time (see

Device Identification on page 38

). This can be

very helpful when multiple devices reside in the same equipment rack, and
at large facilities where devices may reside at different locations.

Device Properties

Right-clicking on any device in a view will also allow you to select

Properties

from the context menu to bring up a Device Properties screen similar to the
one for an 8960ENC modular module shown in

Figure 17

.

Information for the device such as its location, IP Address, description, part
number, software version, serial number and other information is reported.
Device status is also shown. The Asset Tag and Location fields can be
updated or assigned with the Inventory function in NetConfig. Refer to

Inventory Function on page 27

for more information.
