Figure 38: The XGen Room Selection page
10.3.3. Connecting to your room will link you to the Control Page. The Control Page is
divided into two sections: upper and lower. The upper section will never change
while the lower section will change occasionally, depending on the room
configuration and the events that are active to the room, if any. Just as the G1 Web
Client, XGen presents the user with context sensitive room and source controls.
However, there is one difference that should be understood. Whereas G1 runs as a
virtual touch panel and is recognized as a device on the NetLinx control bus, XGen
is a true web solution. Consequently, the Server is unable to reach connected
clients unless the clients request information. Therefore, if you connect to a room
prior to an event launch, you may not see the context sensitive controls immediately
after the event launches. Instead, you will be presented with context sensitive
controls the next time that XGen requests an update. If you know an event has
already become active then you can click the [Refresh] button to immediately
update the context sensitive section. Be sure to click the small [Refresh] button in
the device control section and not the Internet Explorer version, since doing so will
log you out of XGen. One example of this page is shown in Figure 39: The XGen
Room Control page.
