Device interfaces
The Device interfaces view is meant for device expert users who want to configure the
access to the monitored devices in fine detail. Device interface specific settings lets you
configure communication parameters as well as fine tune device specific settings.
Normally the NETA-21 configures device interfaces automatically and auto-discovers
connected monitored devices. Sometimes it is necessary to rebuild the device interface to
refresh the list of monitored devices. Devices in the selected interface are presented in a
generic fashion since new interfaces can be added to this view dynamically as new device
interfaces.
Every connection type has its own tab.
Note: The selection of available device interfaces depends on the installed firmware
version and extra packages.
The toolbars of the tabs differ but all of them have the following buttons:
• Settings button opens an Interface settings dialog box that contains settings for the
selected device interface. The settings vary for every interface.
• Refresh button refreshes the device list in the current interface.
• Rescan devices button rescans a specific device interface to add/remove devices.
This button is not available for every device interface. The rescanning of devices is run
in the background for every device interface while no devices are connected, or when
all connected devices become disconnected. Some interfaces such as Ethernet may
be able to rescan for added devices in the background continuously.
• Restore defaults button restores the default values for settings and re-initiates the
scanning of devices within the selected interface. Previously connected devices may
be lost.
