NK-IPS in DashBoard
NK-IPS groups the configuration, monitoring, and operating features in a Tree View in the DashBoard client
window. Each node of the tree opens to reveal one or more sub-nodes, giving access to the features for your router.
NK-IPS includes the following interfaces, as separate nodes, in the DashBoard Tree View.
NK Series IPS Interface
The NK-IPS uses the NK Series IPS interface in DashBoard to allow users to configure interface and security
options for the NK-IPS, as well as having the ability to assign a name and brief details for the device itself.
Any changes to the parameters on the NK Series IPS interface will need to be sent to the NK-IPS using the
Send
Configuration
button before the changes take effect.
