2.1 Monitor and Manage the Devices

This chapter introduces how to monitor and manage the devices. First, you need to add the devices

to be managed in Pharos Control. For detailed instructions, refer to

Add the Devices to be Managed

in Chapter 1. You can also group these devices according to your need. And then you can monitor

the devices, and centrally manage them, such as reboot, upgrade and ping the devices. In addition,

Pharos Control provides the map feature. With this feature, you can visually manage the devices on

the map.

The following sections introduce how to group, monitor and manage the devices, and how to use

the map feature to facilitate your management.

2.1.1 Group the Devices

When there are a number of devices in the network, it is recommended to group these devices for

efficient management and fast search. Pharos Control provides two kinds of groups: Auto group

and Manual group. And in Auto group, there are two default groups: Managed and Unmanaged. The

managed devices are in the Managed group, and the unmanaged devices are in the Unmanaged

group. You can manually create more groups as needed. There are two methods:

■ Auto Grouping: You can set the rules to automatically group the devices. For example, you can

create an Auto group and set a rule that all the devices with a same SSID will be added to this

group automatically.

■ Manual Grouping: You need to manually add the devices to the corresponding group.
