XR500 Device Manager issues
Gents,
I'm experiencing odd things with the Device Manager view of the XR500:
1. Sometimes when I try to select a device, from either the Device table or the Device tree I get the error :...
Gents,
Up to now I was using Safari on a Mac, but today I tested both Firefox and Chrome (all running on Mojava). All three browsers show exactly the same behaviour. So I'm afraid it has to do with some issues in DumaOS.
Both turning off the power, and removing the ethernet cable of my Airport Express still didn't result in getting it in the "Offline" status.
I'm a little reluctant to reboot the XR500. I gave all devices readable names, and I'm not sure if this information will be preserved after a reboot.
Names should persist during a reboot.
- The names will save as long as you saved them on the device manager, which you will have if the show up. I would also suggest doing a back up in Settings > Administration that you could restore from in future if necessary.
I rebooted the XR500, and indeed the names given to the devices were still there. Unfortunately the reboot didn't solve the issues I mentioned before. On the other hand, the reboot did clean up the device list, something that I was trying to do manually.
Lets wait for a firmware update that solves the issues.
- Okay great, let us know if you have any other issues and when the next firmware releases if it resolves it.
