22CHAPTER 4: USING THE CENTRAL CONFIGURATION MANAGER

NOTE: Discovered devices are automatically added to the default database. This default database will open automatically when you launch the Central Configuration Manager. If you like, you can keep several database files, each with its own list of devices. For example, you may want a separate database for each subnet you manage. To save a database file or open another database file, select the Open Database or Save Database As option from the File menu.

 

You can view discovered devices many ways. On the left side of the toolbar, you

 

can see a drop down box with options for either Subnet, Firmware Ver, or Group

 

Name. The option you select in this box determines how the views are displayed in

 

the left pane of the window.

 

When Subnet is selected (the default option), you will see a list of IP subnets to

 

choose from. Selecting Network will show all of the discovered devices in the

 

database. If you select a particular subnet, only the devices in that subnet will be

 

displayed.

 

When Firmware Ver is selected, you will see a list of the different firmware

 

versions loaded on the devices. This view is particularly useful if you want to select

 

only the devices with an old firmware version so you can perform an upgrade.

 

When you select Group Name from the drop down list, the Central Configuration

 

Manager will present a list of the different group names you have specified.

Viewing Device

Once the database is populated with IntelliJacks on your network, you can begin

Properties

to manage those devices. The main window of the Central Configuration

 

Manager shows a list of devices in the current database with the information

 

retrieved during the discovery process. You can view and configure the properties

 

for a single NJ240FX using this window. To configure multiple devices at one

 

time, see “Changing Device Configuration.” To get more detailed information

 

about a device, you should check its properties.

 

The process for configuring one or more IntelliJacks is the same. You choose the

 

changes or configurations you wish to make by selecting them from the various

 

tabs in Device Properties (for changes to a single IntelliJack) or Configure (for

 

single or multiple IntelliJacks). When you have finished making changes, click

 

“Apply” or “OK”. You will be asked for your password. The configuration

 

changes will not be made to the IntelliJack until your password has been correctly

 

entered.
