Host Name
—
– The Host Name is dynamically retrieved from the MFD upon
reboot. If the Host Name cannot be retrieved, the MFD serial number appears.
Click the up/down arrow to sort the names in ascending or descending order. The
arrow indicates the selected order. A listed Host Name cannot be edited.
Note
: In order to see the Host Name and Status of the MFD from the Manage MFDs screen,
download the SmartDeviceMonitor for Client.exe file (on the supplied GlobalScan CD; see
installation instructions in the GlobalScan Server Software Installation Guide, Appendix B). If
SmartDeviceMonitor for Client is installed, the Host Name column becomes
READ ONLY
,
otherwise this is an editable field.
Serial Number
– This is the serial number of the MFD. No two machine serial
numbers can be the same. A listed Serial Number cannot be edited. Click any
serial number entry to launch the onboard Webtool and view real-time status and
settings of a connected MFD (see next section).
Profile ID
– This is the name of the profile for the specific MFD. If you wish to
change the profile, click the drop-down to select another profile for the MFD.
Enabled
– If checked (on), the MFD can connect to the GlobalScan Server, i.e.,
can join in GlobalScan operations. If unchecked, the MFD is disabled, thus cannot
connect to the GlobalScan Server.
Note
: If an MFD has been disabled in
the Manage MFDs screen an error message will display on
the MFD’s LCD panel.
IP Address
– This is the IP address of the MFD. When machines connect to
GlobalScan, GlobalScan tries to determine the machine’s IP address, so that when
the Manage MFDs module is opened, the machine’s IP address will display. This
feature accommodates machines that connect via Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) or are set with static IP addresses. The IP field can be edited, as
needed.
Important
: When changing the IP address here, it does NOT change the
IP address of the machine; only the IP address that the server “thinks” is the
MFD’s.
