Device Discovery Tool
The Dashboard Device Discovery tool allows you to set the method to be used to detect the
Vertigo devices that are local to your machine or on your network. Once the devices are
located, Dashboard lists them on the
Device List , which allows you to view and edit the
device’s settings.
The Device Discovery tool is accessed by selecting Dashboard’s T OOLS > S ETTINGS >
D EVICE D ISCOVERY menu command (figure 5-4 ).
Figure 5-4. Launching the Device Discovery Tool
One of the first things that Dashboard does on start up is use the Device Discovery tool to
perform a device discovery. A device discovery performs a search of your local machine
and/or your network for all of the active Vertigo devices that are able to connect to
Dashboard and then lists them on Dashboard’s
Device List . Selecting a device from the
Device List displays the Device Profile page or the Device configuration pages depending
upon the Settings Mode.
The following table provides a description for each of the fields on the Device Discovery
dialog box and the topics listed below describe the tasks that two methods that you can use
to perform the device discovery.
