If a device
- was briefly unavailable (defective cable, appliance disconnected etc.)
- was not immediately viewable via ONVIF
- was connected using an existing IP address
- etc.
a red number appears next to the symbol. The red figure shows how many messages
have been generated for this device.
By clicking on “Notification” in the menu, these messages can be read and edited.
If a device is no longer available in the network, it is shown in red in the topology view and the
“Remove” symbol is made available in the “Dashboard”. By clicking on “Remove”, this device i s
permanently removed from the topology view.
It is vital to select “Remove” when, for example, a defective camera is to be replaced by a
new camera using the same IP address. The switch not only stores the IP address but also the
MAC address. If the old IP address is not removed using the “Remove” tool, the switch expects
the old camera with its original combination of IP and MAC address to return and will set the
new camera back to the default IP address over and over again despite this having the same
IP address. This occurs because the new camera has a different MAC address.
