Work with Devices

System devices are represented in VMX300(-E) through device icons placed on maps and the Device List. The Device List and device icons enable

you to

•switch devices,

•access device controls,

•view device gadgets,

•run scripts and stop scripts.

Device icons represent the equipment installed at your site. You can position the cursor over a device icon to display information on the device

and its driver, including the device name, and the IP address and port of the workstation the device driver is running on.

Figure 41. Device Icons

A device icon that appears as a hollow outline indicates that the device driver for that device is not running. Notify your system adminsitrator if

you see a hollow device icon, as shown in the following graphic.

The Device List provides a list of devices conﬁgured on the servers the client is connected to (as long as you have access privileges for the

devices). The Device List allows you to switch and control devices without using a map.

To open the Device List window, click the View menu, and then click Device List. The Device List window appears and a check mark appears next

to Device List on the View menu. To close the Device List window, click the Close button in the right corner of the window’s title bar, or uncheck

Device List in the View menu.

If you have permission to edit workspaces, you can open and close the Device List window using the Edit Workspace option of the File menu.

NOTE: To view the Device List, you must belong to, and log in under, a user group that allows you to edit workspaces. If the Device List

does not appear in the list of items on the View menu, then you have no control over its display.
