Preferences Tab: Licensing; Preferences Tab: Search; Preferences Tab: Setup Button; Preferences Tab: Compare Button And Pop-Up - PRG MBOX User Manual

Preferences Tab: Licensing
The licensing area of the Preferences tab displays the current state of the license for the application. Mbox may be
licensed by connection to a rental IO module, by connection to an Mbox USB license key, by a soft-license (Studio and
Mini only), or by a temporary override for evaluation purposes.
If the Mbox application is licensed, this area will show what the licensing methods is, and the serial number of the license
as applicable.
If the Mbox application is not licensed, this will be reported in this area. For Mbox Studio and Mini, a pop-up menu will
be visible and may be used to apply or purchase a soft-license.
Note: Temporary override licenses for product evaluation are available by request from PRG. Please contact a PRG
representative if a temporary override license is desired.
Preferences Tab: Search
The search box may be used to quickly find items in the preference table by entering a search term. Search results
include both the name of the preference and also their allowable values.
Search terms that have been found will be highlighted in blue, and items with allowable values that match the search
term will have the string "(match!)" added to the preference name and highlighted in blue. Repeated pressing the [return]
key will toggle the view through the found items.
Preferences Tab: Setup Button
Clicking on this button reveals a menu that allows the size of the font in the preferences table to be adjusted so as to fit
more easily onto different screen sizes.
Preferences Tab: Compare Button and Pop-up
The compare button enables the functionality to compare the preferences of the local instance of the Mbox server with
those from a networked Mbox server. This functionality is not enabled by default in order to reduce processing overhead
and therefore must be enabled when its use is required.
Clicking on the compare button will darken the button (indicating that the feature is enabled) and will also enable the
pop-up to the right of the button. The pop-up provides the means to select the networked server to use for comparison
purposes. By default, the pop-up will display "Searching for other Mboxes..." When a networked Mbox is selected, its
name will be shown on the pop-up. In order to find networked servers, the local server and the remote server must be
on the same network subnet and must have the appropriate network interface selected for management.
With the comparison enabled and a networked server selected, the preferences table will show two columns of
preferences side-by-side, with the local server's preferences on the left and the networked server's preferences on the
right.
