Interface Navigation
The Advanced View interface is divided into the Navigation pane, the Sensor Data pane, and the Action/
Information pane.
Navigation pane
Located in the upper-left corner of the interface, the Navigation pane displays:
An appliance and camera pods and sensor pods connected to the appliance
Serial-based sensors being monitored using scanners
Alerting sensors
Shared devices, such as shared IP cameras
Click a device in the Navigation pane to display all sensors associated with the device in the Sensor Data
pane.
Right-click a device in the Navigation pane and select Configure Pod to modify the sensors, settings,
and external ports associated with the device.
See “Scanned Devices” on page 44.
Pods connected to your appliance automatically appear in the Navigation pane. Newly-added pods are
labeled by their pod type and their serial number.
For details on changing labels, see “Camera Pods” on page 36, “Sensor Pods” on page 68, or
“Output Control” on page 53.
If you connect a pod to the appliance and then disconnect it, the pod remains in the Navigation pane, but
the icon is grayed out. If you reconnect the pod, its Navigation pane entry becomes active again.
Using folders
The Navigation pane lists all devices associated with the appliance. You can create folders in the
Navigation pane to form virtual groups of devices. Devices included in a folder are also listed in the
selection list. A single device can be included in multiple folders. When a folder is not expanded, if any
one device in the folder is in an alert status, the folder will be red.
Folders can be created, modified, or deleted only using Advanced View. Any folders created using
Advanced View are visible in the Web Client.
