Searching for Systems
One way to add a system is to search for units of a certain device type. The search function
allows you to nd video endpoints connected to the network but not yet managed by the
program.
1. To search for addresses, click on Search. The search dialog box appears.
2. ViewStation, ViewStation FX and EX, V-Series, ViaVideo and iPower are default to check.
If desired, uncheck the device type that does not require search.
3. Enter the Start and End IP addresses. The End IP eld will auto complete the range that
you entered in the Start IP eld.
4. Click on OK to start search. All of the systems found on that subnet not yet managed by
Global Management System will be listed.
5. The results will return with all systems auto-selected. Deselect the systems you do not
wish to Manage, then click on Manage Selected Systems.
