The Hardware panel displays the topology of the network with the CX23-R module and connected MX modules at the top level. Connectors, channels and other devices appear under their top-level modules. Branches appear or disappear as hardware is connected or disconnected. The hardware tree can be navigated using the mouse or directional keys.

NOTE
Connected EX23-R modules are not shown. Devices such as cameras connected directly to an EX23-R appear under the CX23-R module. MX modules connected to an EX23-R appear as top level devices.

The Channels panel shows a list of the channels under the selected device or connector in a read-only grid. The grid displays basic channel information including whether the channel has a TEDS sensor connected. Click on a channel row to automatically select the channel in the hardware panel.

Select a device, connector or channel in the Hardware panel to display its properties in the Properties panel. Displayed properties may include:

  • Name: Internal name of the device, connector or channel.
  • Serial#: Serial number of the device.
  • Firmware: Firmware version installed on the device.
  • IP Address: IP address of the device.
  • Sync status: For MX modules, the module synchronization status.
  • Sample rate domain: For MX modules, set the domain to either Decimal or Classic. The MX module reboots automatically when this setting changes. For more information, see Changing the Sample Rate Domain.
  • Reading: The current status reading for channels such as CX23-R power and system channels.
  • Actions
    • Flash LED: Click to identify a CX23-R or MX module by flashing one of its LEDs. For a CX23-R module, the green POWER LED flashes at 2 Hz. Click Stop flashing to resume normal LED behavior. Normal behavior is also resumed when a module is rebooted.
