Dialog area
The Dialog area is located on the rigth side of the graphical user interface. When you click a menu item in the
Navigation area, the Dialog area displays the corresponding dialog.
Updating the display
If a dialog remains opened for a longer time, then the values in the device have possibly changed in the meantime.
To update the display in the dialog, click the button. Unsaved information in the dialog is lost.
Saving the settings
To transfer the changed settings to the volatile memory (
RAM
) of the device, click the button.
To keep the changed settings, even after restarting the device, proceed as follows:
Open the
Basic Settings > Load/Save
dialog.
In the table, highlight the desired configuration profile.
If in the
Selected
column the checkbox is
unmarked
, click the button and then the
Select
item.
Click the button and then the
Save
item.
Note: Unintentional changes to the settings may terminate the connection between your PC and the device. To
keep the device accessible, enable the
Undo configuration modifications
function in the
Basic Settings >
Load/Save
dialog, before changing any settings. Using the function, the device continuously checks whether it
can still be reached from the IP address of the user’s PC. If the connection is lost, the device loads the
configuration profile saved in the non-volatile memory (
NVM
) after the specified time. Afterwards, the device can
be accessed again.
Working with tables
The dialogs display numerous settings in table form.
When you modify a table cell, the table cell displays a red mark in its top-left corner. The red mark indicates that
your modifications are not yet transfered to the volatile memory (
RAM
) of the device.
You have the option of customizing the look of the tables to fit your needs. When you position the mouse pointer
over a column header, the column header displays a drop-down list button. When you click this button, the drop-
down list displays the following entries:
Sort ascending
Sorts the table entries in ascending order based on the entries of the selected column.
You recognize sorted table entries by an arrow in the column header.
Sort descending
Sorts the table entries in descending order based on the entries of the selected column.
You recognize sorted table entries by an arrow in the column header.
Columns
Displays or hides columns.
You recognize hidden columns by an unmarked checkbox in the drop-down list.
Filters
The table only displays the entries whose content matches the specified filter criteria of the selected column.
You recognize filtered table entries by an emphasized column header.
