Inspired Signage XPress Programming
26 Inspired XPress - Programming Guide
XPress keeps a list of the devices available in the network using the My Devices folder in the workspace view.
The My Device view allows you to:
Monitor the devices connected to your network.
Automatically scan devices connected to your network.
Provide details on the status of each device.
Open a device to browse its content.
Manually add a device for monitoring.
It is possible to arrange your devices into folders (collections) in order to group devices according to your criteria. It is
also possible to rename devices to identify them in a more human readable manner. By default, XPress used the serial
number as the name of all devices.
