Compatible Systems 5.4 - Manual (Page 12)

6 Chapter 1 - Installation and Overview
The File Menu
The File menu provides options which allow you to create and manage
configurations in CompatiView’s Device View.
New Config
This option loads default parameters for a particular type of device in the
Device View. You will first be asked to select a device type from a list. This
option may be useful to preconfigure a device or to use as a base configura-
tion for multiple devices.
You can edit and view the parameter information by double-clicking on the
protocol icons under each configuration section icon. This window will
immediately reflect any values you change in the edit area.
> Open - Device
This option provides a way to load a device’s configuration into Compati-
View’s Device View.
The exact method of adding a device depends on the transport protocol you
are using with CompatiView.
• If you are using the IPX transport stack, this menu item will open a list
of all the Compatible Systems devices on your network. Items which are
not already entered in CompatiView’s Device View are marked with an
* in front of the device name.
• If you are using the IP transport stack, this menu item will open a
window in which you can enter the IP address or domain name of a
device.
Open - Config File
This option loads a previously saved configuration file from disk. This will
open a browser to allow you to select a configuration file.
> Save to - Device
This option allows you to download the changes you have made to a config-
uration from CompatiView to a device’s Flash ROM. Enter the IP address or
a DNS (Domain Name Service) Name for the device to download a configu-
ration to.
