Device Manager

This is the default view for any network container (for a NiagaraNetwork only, this view is called the Station Manager). The Device Manager is a table-based view, where each row represents a unique device, as shown here. When building a network in the station, you use this view to create, edit, and delete device-level components.

Following station configuration, this view provides a status and configuration summary for all devices network using that driver. The Exts column provides quick double-click access to device extensions, such as Points for proxy points, Schedules for imported schedules, and so forth.
