Telnet to the device to make changes. If you change the device contact password in both the
database and the device, EPICenter will still be able to contact the device via Telnet to open a Telnet
session or run a Telnet macro on the device.
If you have modified both Extreme Networks and third-party devices, and you select the Device and
Database setting, the device configuration will occur only on the Extreme Networks devices.
5 The Modify Devices and Device Groups window stays open after you perform a Modify operation.
When you have finished all your changes, click
Close . If you have made changes to any of the fields
but not modified them, EPICenter will ask you to confirm that you want to exit without making the
changes.
Modifying a Device Group
Devices are always a member of a device group; devices not explicitly assigned to another device group
are members of the Default device group. This has two effects related to modifying device groups:
●
When devices are removed from all other device groups, they are automatically added to the Default
device group.
●
Devices cannot be removed from the Default device group using the Remove button in the Modify
dialog. To remove a device from the default device group, you must move it to another device
group.
You can begin the modify function using the Modify button on the toolbar, or by selecting a device
group in the Component Tree, right-clicking to display the pop-up menu, and selecting Modify Device
Group.
To add or remove devices in a device group, do the following:
1 Click the Modify button at the top of the Inventory Manager main page.
Select the appropriate tab to display the Modify Device Group window, as shown in Figure 32 .
