Unable to unassign ports from or delete a Profile

I have been using Engage for hours now to unassign the ports on a M4250 switch from a QSC-AV profile and reassign them to the Default Data management Profile. I am unable to unassign the port or delete the QSC-AV profile. Please God help me before I through this switch into the river!

 

Thanks.

    Hello wretaudio​ 

     

    Netgear Engage is just a helpful tool to configure an AV network with one or multiple switches. Most operations are possible by using the switch local Web UI, too - right click on the three dots menu and use the [Open Local WebUI]. Or simply direct in Engage:

     

    1. Select the appropriate device from the Devices Management 
    2. Go to [Network Profiles] (in this example the only pure Data profile it the GCK Club named one, actually no port assigned)
    3. From the hamburger menu to the right of the intended "target" profile, use [Edit] 

       

    4. Select the port you like to have associated with a different profile, and [Apply]

    5. Once applied, you will see the port -is- assigned the other profile

      Don't be confused: Here in this installation, the Default profile is from the "Video NDI5 / NDI6 with Dante, Q-Sys or AES67 audio" type, not the more generic "Data".

      You never delete the Profile from the port - otherwise the complete configured profile would be gone!

    Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask .....

     

    Good luck,

    -Kurt.
