Adding a Group
To add a group, set the criteria used to sort and group devices based on the shared attributes you
define. Add Static and Dynamic groups as needed, System groups (pre-defined default groups) cannot
be added.
To add a group:
1 Select the Add button from within the My Groups field.
2 Provide a Group Name (up to 32 characters long) representative of the group you intend to create
once the search criteria has been set and used to locate devices. This is a required value.
3 Define a Group Type of either a Static Group or Dynamic Group. This is a required value.
If the selected Group Type is Static Group, define Search Criteria from the drop-down menu to add
members to this Static Group. However, if the Group Type is Dynamic Group, all devices matching
your search criteria are members of the group.
4 Select a Search Operator to define whether some or all of your search criteria must be satisfied to find
a group.
Selecting OR provides a greater likelihood of finding devices, as you only need to satisfy one of the
search criteria to locate the device. With AND, all of the criteria defined must be satisfied.
NOTE
Remember, if you select And, all of the criteria your define for group membership must be satisfied before any
devices can populate the group. If you are unsure about the viability of your search criteria, consider using the OR
option to increase the likelihood of discovering devices.
5 Use following filters to set the Search Criteria from the drop-down menu:
IP address
Uses the numerical (non DNS) IP address of the listed device as group search
criteria.
MAC Address
Uses device MAC addresses as group search criteria.
Model
Uses a supported device model as search criteria for group membership. Use the
drop-down menu to select from amongst supported WMS devices.
Device Type
Uses the device type as search criteria for group membership.
