Intuition XG Configuration Guide
Dashboard - Intuition XG’s Local Configuration Software
Restarting a device in the device list
During configuration, there are some device parameters that require that the Vertigo device
to be restarted before the new settings can take effect. When these settings are changed,
Dashboard automatically prompts you with a dialog box asking if you want to restart the
device immediately. If you would rather restart the device at a later time, decline
Dashboard’s request and use the Device menu’s
R
ESTART
D
EVICE
command when you are
ready to restart the device.
Another use for the Restart Device command is to re-activate a device from the Device List
that has become inactive (red light) because the device crashed. The
R
ESTART
D
EVICE
command performs a remote restart of the device, which may resolve the issue and return
the device to an active state (green light) after performing a refresh of the device list.
Monitoring the status of a device
The status of a Vertigo device is reported in the Device List by a green (active) or red
(inactive) light next to its name. You can monitor the status of a device by activating the
Device menu’s
M
ONITOR
D
EVICE
S
TATUS
command, which uses the
R
EFRESH
R
ATE
setting
on the Device Discovery tool to determine at what frequency to update the device’s status
on the device list.
To monitor the status of a Vertigo device listed in the Dashboard Device List:
1.
Select the device in the Device List.
2.
Launch the Device Discover tool by selecting
T
OOLS
> S
ETTINGS
> D
EVICE
D

.
3.
Set the Device Monitoring’s Refresh Rate parameter to the desired frequency interval.
For example, a setting of 10, checks the status every 10 seconds.

.
5.
Select the
M
ONITOR
D
EVICE
S
TATUS
command in the
D

menu.
Removing a device from the device list
If the device list has previously been saved, it will list all of the Vertigo devices found and
updated from the previous device discovery, including Vertigo devices that are active,
inactive, local, and/or networked.
There may be times when you want to limit the devices displayed in the device list to a
particular few. If this is the case, you can tailor the device list by removing any unwanted
devices from the device list.
To remove a device from the device list:
1.
Right-click on the device in the device list that you want to remove.
2.
Select the
R
EMOVE
D
EVICE
command.
