55.9 Report functions
The report function can be selected in two ways. Select
one or more CobraNet devices on the main Discovery
screen, then select Report… from the Tools menu in the
main menu bar or right click and select Report from the
pop-up menu.
A dialog will be displayed which allows selection of the
directory in which the report file(s) will be saved.
Report files are saved in Comma Separated Value (.csv)
format, which can be opened using most spreadsheet
applications. The report file contains all information
required to determine the current configuration and
status of a CobraNet interface. The report generator
automatically creates the file names based on either the
device's sysName or, if none exists, its MAC address.
After selecting a save directory, press the Write button to
begin generating report(s). The report data is read from
each CobraNet device via SNMP, labeled, formatted
and saved in a .csv file.
A report for a single device can also be optionally
generated from the main Configuration Dialog.
55.10 CobraNet Control and
Configuration
55.10.1 Introduction
CobraNet Discovery can be used to change
configuration settings in a CobraNet device. One
CobraNet device at a time may be configured. Select
the device to be configured in the main CobraNet
Discovery window. Then either right click and select
Configure… or select Configure… from the Tools menu.
You may also double click on the device to invoke the
Configuration dialog.
The configuration dialogs allow the user to read and,
where appropriate, change configuration variables used
in defining the functionality of a CobraNet device.
Unlike the main CobraNet Discovery window, the
variable values displayed are not periodically updated.
The variables are read once using SNMP when the
dialog is invoked. Each dialog will have one or more of
the following buttons:
• Cancel
Exit the dialog without writing any changed values
to the CobraNet device.
• OK
Exit the dialog. For dialogs that allow changing
values, any values that were changed will be written
to the CobraNet device as the dialog is exited.
• Apply
Write any variables changed within the dialog to the
CobraNet device.
• Refresh
Re-read all values displayed within the dialog.
