You may monitor Network Devices on your network using the Monitor Network Devices<\/em> feature of Device ManageR.<\/p>\n

Please note that the Monitor Network Devices<\/em> feature is not for discovering Room Alert or Axis cameras on your network. Please see this FAQ for discovering Room Alert or Axis cameras using Device ManageR:\u00a0How To Discover AVTECH Devices With Device ManageR\u00a0<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n

Monitor Network Devices<\/em>\u00a0attempts to connect to a device on the network and check if a service is running on a specific port.<\/p>\n

– If the service is running, the connection will be established and the Network Device will\u00a0register as “up.”<\/p>\n

– If the service is not running or Device ManageR cannot reach the configured system or device, the connection will not be established and the Network Device will register as “down.”<\/p>\n

<\/span>Add Network Device Monitors<\/strong><\/div>
\n

To create an ICMP, TCP, UDP or HTTP Network Device, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.<\/p>\n

2. Select Monitor Network Devices<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Monitor_Network_Devices_Button\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. When the Monitor Network Devices<\/em> window appears, select Add<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Monitor_Network_Devices_Add_Button\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. When the Add New Monitor Network Device<\/em>\u00a0window appears, first select the type of Monitor Network Device you wish to create from the Type<\/em> drop-down list (ICMP, TCP, UDP and HTTP).\u00a0The type that you choose determines the fields available.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Add_New_Network_Device_Monitor\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Standard (ICMP)<\/span>TCP \/ UDP<\/span>HTTP<\/span><\/div>
\n

The fields common to all 4 types of network devices are Name<\/em>, IP\/Domain Name<\/em>, Timeout<\/em> and Max Retries<\/em>, as shown in the Standard ICMP device below.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Name<\/em>, enter the name of the Monitor Network Device.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In IP \/ Domain Name<\/em>, enter the IP address or domain name in the \u00a0field.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Timeout<\/em>, you may enter a value (in seconds) for how long to wait for a reply to the connection attempt, or leave the default of 15 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Max Retries<\/em>, you may enter the number of connection attempts to be made before an alarm condition is generated. The default is 3 retries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"ADM_Add_ICMP_Device\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

TCP \/ UDP Network Devices have the common fields, plus\u00a0Port<\/em>, Message<\/em> and Response<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Port<\/em>, enter the port number.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In\u00a0Message<\/em>, enter the message to be sent after the connection has been established. This field is optional for TCP but mandatory for UDP.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In\u00a0Response<\/em>, enter the response to expect\u00a0after the connection has been established. This field is optional for TCP but mandatory for UDP.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ADM_Add_TCP_Device\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"ADM_Add_UDP_Device\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

HTTP Network Devices have the common fields, plus Port<\/em>, Page<\/em> and Response<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Port<\/em>, enter the port number.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Page<\/em>, you may enter the specific web page that Device ManageR should attempt to load. This field is optional.<\/span><\/p>\n

– In\u00a0Method<\/em>\u00a0select the\u00a0method to use when accessing the specified page. (HEAD requests only the HTTP headers be returned, while GET will return the entire web page.)<\/span><\/p>\n

– In Response<\/em>, you may enter\u00a0response to expect\u00a0after the connection has been established. This field is optional.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"ADM_Add_HTTP_Device\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

5. When you are finished configuring your ICMP, TCP, UDP or HTTP Network Device, select\u00a0Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

6. Your new Network Device will now appear in the list of discovered devices.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

<\/span>Delete Network Device Monitors<\/strong><\/div>
\n

To delete an ICMP, TCP, UDP or HTTP Network Device, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.<\/p>\n

2. Select Monitor Network Devices<\/strong> in the navigation bar to the left.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Monitor_Network_Devices_Button\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. When the Network Device Monitors<\/em>\u00a0window appears,\u00a0you’ll see your list of ICMP, TCP, UDP and HTTP Network Devices. Highlight the one you wish to delete by clicking on it once.<\/p>\n

4. Select Delete<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"ADM_Delete_Network_Device\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. When the confirmation dialog box appears, select Yes<\/strong>. That Network Device will be removed from the Network Device Monitors<\/em> list.<\/p>\n

6. Select Close<\/strong>. That Network Device will then be removed from your Discovered Devices<\/em> list.<\/p>\n
