Adding a New Device in PortVision DX
You can add a new ES8508 manually, if you do not want to scan the network to locate it or you want to pre-
configure an ES8508 before connecting it to the network. Optionally, you can also add unmanaged devices or
RocketLinx switches to maintain information about devices on the network.
See the PortVision DX help system for additional information about adding unmanaged RocketLinx switches
or third party devices or switches.
