Adding and Deleting Devices. Describe Window.

Before you can manage a device, you must first define the device, provide parameters to establish communication, and select an interface. Only the SUPERVISOR may add devices and modify their attributes. Please note that you may add devices either manually or using Autodiscovery function (see the Autodiscovery section later).

MegaVision requires specific parameters to establish communication with a device. You must supply a name and address, specify communication type, enter polling durations, and SNMP community names.

In order to add device manually:
