The server overview page gives you a quick and easy way to view and modify all of the servers under your control. This includes data on all Applications, SCInterface Controllers (SCs), and SCInterface Control Managers (SCMs).
If logging in for the first time and 'status' is set to on, the list of servers will be displayed with the status showing off for each of the applications. Once the status is obtained, the interface will refresh in real-time and show the status of all applications on your network.
If enabled, the latest news for this SCInterface network will be displayed at the top of the page. Otherwise, directly below this an overview of the content on this page:
Status: The icon depicts whether the server is Running, Stopped, Disabled, or Locked/Not Available. The Server Status key to the top of the main table lists what each icon represents.
Admin: If permissions are given to administer a particular server, a red button will appear to indicate that this server or SC can be administered by you.
Server: The name of the server is also a link to the configuration page for that server. If the server is Locked or Not Available, the link is disabled and you may not view or modify that server.
Type: Describes the classification of the server (Application, SC, or SCM). By default, the table lists server of any type; however, you may view all the servers of a single type (example: the list of all SCs) by choosing that type from the dropdown box at the top of this column.
Platform: An icon depicts what platform that server runs on. For instance, a penguin means Linux server; a Windows banner means Windows server. Hovering over icon will indicate the type of server that this server is running.
Action: If a server is not locked, then you may start or stop it. Buttons in this column allow you to quickly perform the desired action. Devices may also be started and stopped in groups (see "Performing Group Operations" below).
Checkbox(): Checking boxes in this column marks servers for a group operation you would like to perform, such as viewing details, starting, stopping, or configuring. To quickly check all boxes in the column, click the checkbox in the column header.
Performing Group Operations
You may perform an action on multiple servers at once. To do this:
Click the checkbox in the table for each server you would like to work on.
Click any of the action buttons above or below the server table (View Details, Start, or Stop).
If a server is disabled or locked, it will not be available for group operations.
Note: If working from the Tree View, clicking the checkbox in the table header (to select or deselect all servers) will include servers that may be hidden under a collapsed tree. To check that you have included only the servers you want, expand the tree view for any collapsed SCs.
Specifying the Server View
There are multiple ways to specify the servers to list on the Global Overview page. You may specify a Tree View or Classic View, or a list of SCMs, SCs, or Applications. You may narrow the display further to include all servers that have a specified status.
Listing Servers By Status
You must have "Showing Status" enabled to take advantage of status-filtered lists. To view a list of servers by Status, click the appropriate tab above the overview table. The default choice is "All", but you may select to view only servers which are Running, Stopped, Disabled, or Locked/Not Available. Displaying servers by status may be done in conjuntion with any of the listing options described below.
List all servers via Tree View (a hierarchy of servers, where Applications are listed under the SCs which control them).
Listing Servers By Type
To view a list of servers of a particular type or to specify a list style (Classic or Tree View), use the drop down selection box at the top of the overview table. You may:
Tree View (default) - List all servers via Tree View by displaying them in a hierarchy of servers, where applications are listed under the SCs which control them.
Classic View - List all Applications, SCs, or SCMs with Classic View by displaying them in an alphabetical list with Applications first, then SCs, then SCMs.
Location View - List all Applications, SCs, or SCMs with Location View by displaying them in a view similar to the tree view; however, the list with Applications, SCs and SCMs are originized according to their location.
