Creating and loading a station configuration
Adding a device to the Station Manager
Xpanel’s Station Manager identifies the output devices that are associated with the Xmedia
Server and therefore can be controlled by the panels created in Xpanel. If a device is not
listed in the Station Manager, you can add the device to the Xmedia Server by creating a
profile that defines the device’s connection and communication properties.
The following device types are supported and can be added to Xpanel’s Station Manager.
•
Imagestore
• LGK
• DSK
• Intuition
• Intuition XG (Remote/Central Xmedia Server only)
• Vertigo XG (Remote/Central Xmedia Server only)
• HMP
• Xftp
• Xpublish Agent

Since several applications in the Vertigo Suite are capable of defining devices on the
Xmedia Server using the Device Manager, it is possible that the device configuration
profiles of some of the devices on your network are already present in the Station Manager.
As such, when you open Xpanel and it is connected to the Xmedia Server, the devices that
already exist in the Xmedia Server will appear in Xpanel’s Station Manager.
To add a new device configuration to the Xmedia Server using the Station Manager:
1.
Launch Xpanel’s Station Manager by selecting the V IEW >S TATION M ANAGER menu
command.
2. Click the N EW D EVICE button and select the type of device from the drop-down list.
The D EVICE P ROPERTIES window appears.

I NTUITION XG and V ERTIGO XG devices are only listed if Xpanel is configured to connect to
a remote/central Xmedia Server. See “Starting Xpanel and connecting to the Xmedia
Server” on page 2-3 for more information.
