Adding a device with an embedded Client
An embedded device is a device running ShareScan Embedded software. You can manage
multiple devices with embedded Clients from the Administration console. Each device is
associated with a Services Manager. New devices, from the same manufactuer, inherit their initial
settings from the default device.
To add a device with an embedded Client:
1 Make sure the ShareScan Client is installed and running on the device.
2 In the console tree, select System Information > Licensing and then verify that you have
an available product key of the appropriate type (see page 130.)
3 In the console tree, right-click Devices and then click Add a new device.
The Services Manager can detect devices using Multicast UDP or SNMP. While UDP is
generally faster, it may not work in certain network environments (see page 322).
■ If the device you want to add is listed, select it and then click OK.
■ If no devices are listed, select SNMP in the Protocol list and then click Refresh.
■ If there are still no devices listed, click Advanced, enter the name or IP address of the
device, and then click OK.
If the device is configured for use with another Services Manager, the system displays a
notification message.
If acquisition of the device has been disabled using the Security Options feature for the
Services Manager, ShareScan displays an error message prompting you to contact the
administrator for the device. For information about setting security options, see page 121.
4 If access is allowed, click Yes to transfer ownership to the current Services Manager.
An X will appear next to the device name in the original Services Manager’s device list. The
original Services Manager can re-acquire the device only by right-clicking the device name
and then clicking Re-acquire device; this is because the device no longer appears in the
device list.
5 If prompted, click Activate Now to activate your license immediately (recommended), or
click Activate Later to activate your license later (see page 133).
