Overview

SyncThru™ Admin 5 Device Map Plug-in graphically provides the locations of devices managed by SyncThru™ Admin 5.

With this plug-in, you can create, modify, or delete your own device maps. Maps represent the devices' physical locations.

Introduction_ 8

Benefits of using the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Device Map Plug-in

With the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Device Map Plug-in, you can organize your devices based on location. For example, if

devices are spread out between the 35th and 36th floors, you can create maps of the two floors showing where each

device is located. After configuring the maps, you can find the devices' locations on the maps. It will be much easier to

check devices’ location using a map. If a device has an error(s) and requires manual service, you can search for the

location on the map and go to the device.

Main features the of SyncThru™ Admin 5 Device Map Plug-in

• Configure maps with the location information of the devices (See "Configuring maps" on page 13).

• Configure maps using drag-and-drop functionality (See "Configuring maps" on page 13).

• Monitor the status of the devices by looking at the map (See "Viewing a map" on page 15).

• Get map information from the Device List (See "Viewing the location of a specific device" on page 16).

• Print maps (See "Printing the map" on page 17).

Icon overview

The following table shows icons used in the SyncThru™ Admin 5 Device Map Plug-in and their meanings:

Device status icons on the map

Usage examples_ 18

Usage examples

This chapter gives you examples to make full use of the Device Map Plug-in.

This chapter includes:

• Monitoring devices

• Finding a specific device’s location

Monitoring devices

If you are an administrator for particular devices, you can create a map for the devices under your management. Then you

can monitor the devices with the map along with the Device List or the Dashboard. A map simply provides the location of

a device for easy accessibility, as well as model name/serial number/MAC address information.

Finding a specific device’s location

If you have configured maps according to your organization’s site, you can use the maps in the following cases:

Finding the location of an error status device

You can see devices with errors on the Device List or the Dashboard. If you find a device with a critical error and need to

check it, click on the device on the Device List or the Dashboard. You will see the Map button on the Device information

panel. Click the Map button. You can see the Place and Subplace. Choose the one you are looking for and click it. You

can see the related map and find where the device is located. If your site covers a large area and has multiple devices, you

can print out the map with the Print button and go directly to the device with the printout. Using the map to locate a printer

will save you time and energy.

Finding location of a disconnected status device

You can see disconnected devices on the Device List or the Dashboard. If you find a disconnected device, need to go to

the device to check the connection, a map will help you find the exact location of the device.

Click the disconnected device on the Device List or the Dashboard. You will be able to see the Map button on the Device

information panel. Click the Map button. You can see the Place and Subplace. Choose the one you are looking for and

click it. You can see the related map and find where the device is located. If your site covers a large area and has multiple

devices, you can print out the map with the Print button and go directly to the device with the printout. Using a map will

save you time from having to check the connection of each printer in a specific location.
