Click on Status to open a window listing all devices connected to the host system. Each GigE device
is listed by name along with important information such as the assigned IP address and device MAC
address.
In the event that the device is physically connected, but the Sapera GigE Server icon is indicating that

the GigE server periodically scans the network automatically to refresh its state.
