reason (including if you clicked Stop during the add process), the Discover
Wizard Not All Appliances Added page appears. This page will list all of
the appliances that you selected and the status for each. The status will
indicate if an appliance was added to the local database and if not, why
the process failed. Click Done when you are fi nished reviewing the list.
NOTE: If an appliance already exists in the database with the same IP address as a discovered
unit, then the discovered unit will be ignored and will not display on the next Wizard page.
Accessing an Appliance
When you click the Appliances button, you will see a list of the appliances
currently defined in the local database. To access an appliance, you must first
log into it by typing in a username and password. Once you have logged into
an appliance, AVWorks will cache the username and password in memory for
the duration of the AVWorks session.
NOTE: You can clear the login credentials by selecting Tools - Clear Login Credentials.
