The Info tab of a control panel displays general information related to a device, and is available for all device types. The Info tab includes identification information such as a device’s label, short label, type, comments, source ID, configuration status, frame number, and slot number.

TIP: To quickly display the Info tab for a device, right-click the device in iC Navigator, and then click Show info control panel.

Under the Info tab, you can change the name of the selected device, as well as enter comments. By default, the device name is its type identification. However, you may find it helpful to give devices more meaningful names. Once you change the device name in the control panel, the name of the item is also changed in the iC Navigator display, making it easier to locate.

You can also register a device with the lookup service on a remote Application Server using Remote system administration.
