Adding a device from the list of autodiscovered devices

Devices can be added to the list of rollout targets through a number of different ways. One is through different types of lists.

One of these lists is the list of autodiscovered devices:

The AutoDiscovery module provides a list of all devices of any type found in the network, such as printers or devices with and without the agent installed. This list is also available for the rollout functionality to facilitate the selection of the rollout targets. However, the list displayed in this case only shows all clients of type device and only those with a status of Verified or Learned , which means that all devices in this list were verified for existence either by the local client or a neighbor client and exist on the network. To add a device from the list of all autodiscovered devices known to the database, proceed as follows:

1. Select Edit > Import Devices from CSV File .
   The Select Devices from the List window opens which provides you with its different methods, with the AutoDisc Object tab preselected in the left window bar. On the top of the Available Devices box there are two drop-down lists which provide you the possibility to filter the autodiscovered objects thus reducing the list to your needs. The following filters are available:

• You can filter for the type of the autodiscovered object, that is, if all found devices are to be shown, or only PCs, printers, switches, and so on, and you can limit the list to either devices with or without the CM agent already installed.
• The box Available Devices displays the list of all available devices.
• Below, the Use IP Address option allows you to select the device by IP address. By default this option is not activated, meaning that the device is selected by its name.

1. Select the device/devices to be added as targets from the list.
2. Click Add  to move the selected devices to the list of Selected Devices.
3. Click OK to confirm the selections and close the window.

The selected devices are now added to the list of targets with the initial status Initial.
