When they first start up, devices and services announce themselves to a lookup service (running on an Application Server on the local subnet), which then makes them available to iC Navigator. iC Navigator shows ALL services (GSM, Densité Manager, GeckoFlex Manager, Router Manager, composite panels, third party device drivers, etc.) and devices (Densité/ Imaging/GeckoFlex frames and their cards, third party devices, etc.) detected by the lookup process.

A service can be running, and appear in iC Navigator, even if there are no physical devices associated with it. For example, the Densité Manager can be running, but until you configure it with the addresses of the Densité frames, only the service will appear in iC Navigator. If a service is not running, it will not appear in iC Navigator.
