Devices Management

Introduction

All the cloud applications use the devices set up in this workspace.

You need to first add devices to this list, and mark them as [Registered].

Available operations

Once a device in the list is selected, depending on its status, certain operations become available.

Use the icons on the selected row to change the device state:

  • Delete the device:

    This operation will remove the device from the list.

    Applications and other users will no longer be able to access this device.

  • Register the device: .

    This operation will register the device for being used by the users of the current tenant.

    NOTE

    This operation is only available for [Unregistered] devices.

  • Unregister the device: .

    This operation will keep the device in the list, but applications and other users will no longer be able to access this device.

    NOTE

    This operation is only available for [Registered] devices.

  • Takeover the device from another tenant: .

    This operation will register the device for being used by the users of the current tenant.

    NOTE

    This operation is only available for devices that already are [Registered] by other tenant.

Add a new device

  1. Navigate to [Devices] .

  2. Click [Discover devices].

  3. Type in a range of IP addresses from the local network.

    NOTE

    If you want to add a specific, singular IP, fill in both fields with the same address.

    You cannot change the network mask, so only the devices connected to the same network will be visible.

  4. Click [Search].

  5. Click [OK] to save the new device.

  6. Click to register the device in your tenant.

    NOTE

    If a device has no serial number, or it cannot be automatically read, the Cloud Proxy will prompt you to type it in. Normally, the serial number should be available in devices's menus.
