Disabling all Diagnostic Options For a Device
There are two ways to disable all diagnostics for a device:
In the Edit Options window, select Delete to remove the device from the Diagnostics Options
page and disable all diagnostics.
In the Edit Options window, deselect all selected diagnostics options and click Update. This
disables all diagnostics for this device, but leaves the device on the Diagnostics Options page.
Creating and Recalling Diagnostics Presets
The Store and Recall options in the Edit Options window allow you to save and recall preset diagnostics
configurations.
1. Click the Presets down arrow to open a list of previously stored Presets. By default, the only preset
is called 0: All Devices, All Notifications. This default Preset cannot be modified.
2. Select an empty Preset (for example 1:)
3. Select the desired diagnostic options, and click Store.
4. A popup window prompts you to name this Preset. Enter a name and click OK.
To recall an existing Preset, select it from the drop-down list and click on Recall.
