Device lists

The Devices group in a site's left rail lists every device on the site, one page per kind of device. Use these pages to check status at a glance, filter down to the devices you care about, change several devices at once, and open any device's panel.

#Open a device list

Inside a site, hover or click Devices in the left rail. Each page shows a count next to its name.

Every list has a filter panel on the left and a table on the right. Click any row to open that device's panel. See Switch, access point, and client details.

#What each status means

#Switches

The Switches page lists the site's switches and, under each one, the ReadyLink clients and switches connected to it.

#Use the filter panel

#See the clients under each switch

With View topology on:

1. Click the + at the start of a switch row to show or hide what's connected to it.
2. Or click Expand all at the top right of the table to open every switch at once. Click Collapse all to close them.

A grey switch row is listed only because clients under it match your filters. A row that ends in Redundant link: ... (blocked) is a second path that spanning tree is blocking. Clients that ReadyView can't place under a switch are grouped under Unassigned clients.

With View topology off, the table loads every client after the switches and shows Loading clients… with progress while it does.

#Read the Connectivity bar

The bar is split into 5-minute slots. A slot is green when every reporting device was online and red when one or more went offline. Hover a red stretch to see what happened.

The badge above the bar shows the percentage online and how many devices are reporting, for example 95% (19/20). Only devices with recorded history count toward it, and only devices with MQTT turned on report. The badge is green at 99% or higher, amber from 90%, and red below that.

#Filter by tag

Under Tags, tick one or more tags to show only devices with them.

• New tag creates a tag. Use / in the name to nest tags, for example Building/Floor 2.
• Add sub-tag adds a tag nested under another.
• Configure next to a tag edits it.
• With more than one tag ticked, choose Any (devices with any of the tags) or All (only devices with every tag).

You can drag tags to reorder them.

#Switch columns

Turn columns on and off under Visible Columns.

Configuration shows Up to date, Out of sync, or Pending updates, comparing the switch with its configuration template. See Configuration templates.

#Act on several devices

#Select devices

• Tick the checkbox on each row you want.
• Or select by rule: click the floating Select button (drag it if it's in the way), then:
  1. Pick a field: Status, Model, Name, MAC address, Firmware, or any visible column.
  2. Pick equals, contains, or matches, and enter a value. matches takes a wildcard pattern such as *GL-*.
  3. Click Add rule for more conditions. A device must match every rule.
  4. Click Select matching.

#Choose an action

With devices selected, the menu offers these groups. You see only the actions your role allows.

Reboot, Upgrade, and Apply Template work on switches only. Clients in the selection are skipped.

#Wireless

The Access Points page lists the site's access points. The filter panel has Device status (including Dormant), Tags, and Visible Columns, and the Select button works the same way as on Switches.

Besides the identity and status columns, the table has per-band columns:

#Power Management

The Smart Plugs page lists smart plugs and UPSes together. Filter by Device status and tags.

#IoT Devices

The Connected Devices page lists the devices ReadyView has seen on the site's network, such as phones, cameras, and IoT devices. The table loads 20 devices per page.

#Filter IoT devices

#IoT columns

Name, Type, Status, Connection, Vendor, Mac Address, IP Address, VLAN, WiFi, Data (24 h), Experience, Last seen, and First seen.

Data (24 h) is the traffic counted on the switch port the device is plugged into. When several devices share that port, the column shows Shared.

To remove devices from the list, tick them and click Remove in the selection bar. A device that's still connected comes back the next time it's seen.
