Auto-Refresh Menu

The Auto-Refresh menu allows you to select the interval at which the status information in Remote Manager is refreshed. This includes refreshing the screenshots as well as all other system information displayed in the different tabs in the Network pane.

NOTE: Please remember that each refresh requires data, including a screenshot image, to be sent from the Player system to the PDS Server and then from the PDS Server to your PDS Remote Manager. When managing a medium-sized or large network of Players, you can create a high level of network traffic and risk overloading your network simply by making your refresh interval too short.

Refresh

Click Refresh to refresh the network information and screenshots manually.

This button is particularly useful when the Auto-Refresh interval is set to Off.

Publish Content

The PDS Remote Manager includes a Publish Content dialogue. This tool is used to move content packages to PDS Player systems. Please note that, in most implementations, content updates will be performed through the PDS Web Controller rather than the Remote Manager.

The Remote Manager communicates directly with remote Players through the PDS Server. The publication process performs an inventory check against contents stored on remote Players. If content is missing, the Remote Manager creates a package to transfer to the Players. A package is a compressed archive containing all assets missing from the remote Player as well as all content added through the Publish Content tool.
