Batch Configurations Using N-Able
One of the many benefits of using N-Able control is batch configuration. This is especially useful in larger deployments. Instead of
using the individual unit web pages (discussed in the previous section), simply open N-Able and select
Tools > Batch Config
. See
FIGURE 56
Selecting Batch Config in N-Able
displays and allows you to choose the units you would like to enable for NetLinx control. To select
multiple units, hold down the
<Ctrl>
key. Once all of the units are selected, enable the NetLinx On button and click the OK button at
the bottom of the screen.

Enabling NetLinx on Multiple Units
NOTE: Items are not filtered. In other words, if you send a NetLinx command to a device that does not support it, the command is
simply ignored.
