7.11 Device Manager in the Explorer
Selecting the node Desktop Server|Display Wall of the object tree, the menu bar and the tool bars are completed
by the menu items and the functions of Remote Desktop and the Layout Selector. The entire functionalities of the
previous stand-alone applications are integrated in the Apollo Explorer.
In addition the object tree also gives access to the functionality of the Device Manager by selecting the node
Device. This node explodes to the tree view known from the previous stand-alone application Device Manager.
It is recommended to view th objects sorted by groups.
Click on the name of the device in the workspace to open the dialog for controlling the device.
Compared to the stand-alone application, the integrated Device Manager offers an enhanced
functionality resulting from customizing the context menu. It is e.g. possible by defining the
respective command for multiple selections to switch on all projectors simultaneously, cf.
Context menus
Devices are controlled with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Apollo SNMP Manager is the
interface between the Control Room Bus and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and makes it
possible to integrate an SNMP-compatible device using a configuration file. Device-specific properties, parame-
ters, and commands are assigned to the elements of the control room database.
