Connecting to a Device Server

Connecting to a Device Server

To connect to a Device Server, double-click on the Device Server in the Device Server List. You will be prompted for the Admin Password.

If the authentication and connection are successful, the Device Server’s Server Info window is displayed.

If you cannot connect to a Device Server, you can highlight the Device Server and click the Ping button to verify that that DeviceManager can communicate with the Device Server’s IP Address. If the ping times out, then you might need to set up a Gateway in your Device Server or verify that your network is communicating correctly.

Managing a Device Server

Once you are connected to a Device Server, you can edit its configuration, download a new configuration, save the configuration to file, perform administrative tasks, and view statistics about the Device Server and its network environment.

DeviceManager Work Flow

When you connect to a Device Server, the Device Server’s configuration is automatically uploaded to the Device Server. Before you make any changes to the configuration, you probably want to save the configuration locally, to make a backup file of the configuration. Use the navigation panel to select the feature that you want to edit. After you make all your changes to a configuration window, you must click the Apply button to submit those changes. When you have completed all of your configuration edits, select Tools, Download Configuration to Unit. If you want your changes to take effect at this point, select Tools, Reboot Server.

Creating/Editing Configuration Files

You can create and edit Device Server configuration files. When you open a new configuration file, the configuration file contains the Device Server’s factory default settings.

Working With the Device Server Configuration

When you connect to a Device Server, the configuration that is saved to FLASH is automatically uploaded to the DeviceManager. It is suggested that you save the working configuration to a file as a backup precaution by selecting Tools, Save Configuration to File. You can then make any edits to the configuration and download it back to the Device Server by selecting Tools, Download Configuration to Unit. The downloaded configuration does not take effect until you reboot the Device Server by selecting Tools, Reboot Server. If you want to continue managing/configuring the Device Server, you can reconnect to the Device Server after it has been rebooted.
