ASSIGNING SPECIFIC DEVICE TYPES
When you have a tiered configuration, that is, if
your system includes one or more external devices
such as an Apex OutLook or another ViewPoint,
you must make the ViewPoint core aware of these
external devices by assigning a specific device
type. You designate the device types in the Display
Systems screen. The possible device types are
4 port, 8 port, 10 port, or 32 port. The “Default”
setting indicates no external device is connected.
For more information on tiering, see Appendix C.
To assign a device type:
1
At the prompt “>” in the Display Matrix
screen type DS and press ENTER to access the
Display Systems screen.
2 Use the ARROW keys
to highlight “Default” in
the Device column and the
+ or – keys to choose from
the following settings:
4 port, 8 port, 10 port, or
32 port. Your selection is
immediately reflected on
the screen.
3 Press ENTER to save
types, or ESCAPE to return to previous values.
■ Note
After pressing ENTER, do not turn off the core
until you see UPDATE COMPLETE on your
terminal screen or you will lose all your updates.
