Getting to Know ViconNet

Groups
The ViconNet
Groups
list is a hierarchical tree like the
Site List
, which displays the transmitters and devices
connected to your ViconNet system. The
Groups
list can be navigated using standard tree expand and
collapse functionality in the same way as the
Site List
. However, in contrast to the
Site List
, which is
organized by transmitters, the devices in the
Groups
list are organized by groups and group sets, where each
group can consist of cameras and microphones from multiple distinct transmitters.

You can define your groups and group sets by selecting
Groups Sets
from the
System Settings
window, as
described in
Chapter 3
,
Configuring the ViconNet System
.
NOTE:
When defining device groups in the Devices Group Sets Management window, you can define one
group set as the
Working Set
. This is the group that will appear in the
Groups
list in the Main
window. To view a different group set, you must change the working set in the Devices Group Sets
Management window.
Groups are loaded in to the system using the
Add New Group
utility. (For more details about defining groups
and group sets, refer to the
Defining Groups and Group Sets
section in
Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet
System.
)
NOTE:
The
Groups
list is only enabled after at least one group has been defined in the Devices Group Set
Management window.
Individual devices can be dragged from a group to the
Video Display Area
.
In the
Groups
list, you can select to list the devices by name, secondary ID (as configured in the
Groups Sets
Management
window) or both.
