Adding Devices to LDM
Refer the documentation in the below links for detailed steps to add Windows, Linux and Android devices to LDM.
Managing Devices in LDM
Devices in your organization's portal can be accessed from the Device Management > Devices page from the left navigation menu.
The table displays all the information related to each device. You can click on each label to sort the devices.
- Device Name
- Status: The status identifies if the device is currently Active or Pending. See table below for more information.
If a device is equipped with ARM, its label will be
displayed between the columns Device Name and Status. Similarly,
for Windows devices equipped with Intel vPro® or Intel vPro® Enterprise , these labels will also be displayed between these columns.
- License: If a device has a license assigned to it, you will see the information about the type of license (Basic, Premium). To assign a license to a device, refer the Licensing article.
- Network: Shows if a device is Online or Offline.
- Uptime Duration: displays the time that a device is online or offline. This information is also available on the device tray, with a percentage representing the time that the device spent in that state: Click Device Management > Devices > select a device. Likewise, the Dashboard displays the devices Uptime and Off time duration, as well as a percentage representing the current Uptime for all devices in the organization.
- Product Family
- Serial Number
- Group: displays the group or groups the device belongs to.
Only devices with Active status and to which a license has been assigned can be fully managed through LDM.
