Discovering Devices
This section describes the method for discovering devices and registering them to this software.
NOTE |
Up to 1,000 devices can be monitored with this software. Devices cannot be registered to [Monitored Device List] when the number of monitored devices exceeds 1,000. |
1.
Access this software from a Web browser, and log in as the system manager.
2.
Select the [Devices] menu > [Monitored Device List].
3.
Click [Discover Devices].
4.
On the [Discover Devices] page, set the target devices for management.
[IPv4 Addresses] | Enter the range of IPv4 addresses for the devices to manage with this software. Enter the range of IPv4 addresses in the format "<start address>-<end address>" or in the "IPv4 address" format. Example: 192.168.10.0-192.168.19.255 192.168.100.0-192.168.119.255 192.168.200.11 192.168.200.12 |
[Host Name] | Enter the host names for the devices to manage with this software. Enter each host name on a separate line. Example: 3520v6.canon.com 5560v6.canon.com |
[Add discovered devices as managed devices] | Enabled: The discovered devices are added to the [Manage Devices] > [Managed Devices] tab. Devices with the ability to send data to the Remote Monitoring Server are displayed in [Devices] > [Monitored Device List]. Disabled: The discovered devices are added to the [Manage Devices] > [Devices Removed from Management] tab. The tab that devices belong to is not changed when devices are rediscovered with device discovery. |
NOTE |
An address range cannot be specified in environments operating with IPv6. In this case, register the device names to a DNS server and WINS server and enter the FQDN of the target devices in [Host Name] in advance. |
