Viewing devices
To view the currently managed devices in the device pane:
▲
Select a folder in the device tree.
To see a menu of applicable commands:
▲
Select a folder in the device tree or one or more devices in the device pane, and then right-click.
TIP: All of these commands are also available in the Device menu of the HPDM Console.
An HPDM Agent can function in two different modes:
●
Pull mode—The HPDM Agent requests (pulls) tasks from the HPDM Gateway at regular
intervals.
●
Push mode—The HPDM Gateway sends (pushes) tasks to the HPDM Agent as soon as they
are received from the HPDM Server.
In the device pane of the HPDM Console, devices are represented by the following icons:

currently down or disconnected
