HP Device Monitor (v 1.2) for Microsoft System Center User Guide

Removing a DMS connection
Removing a connection disconnects it from the DMS and deletes the connection from the Device
Monitor Connections pane. To reestablish the connection, it must be added again.
1. Open the DMC.
2. Select the monitor connection to remove.
3. In the Device Monitor Connections pane, click the Remove Connection icon.
The connection is removed.
TIP: You can also remove a connection by right-clicking it and selecting Remove.
Disconnecting from the DMS
You can disconnect an existing connection from the DMS. This leaves the entry in the Device
Monitor Connections pane, but changes its status to Disconnected. You can then reconnect without
having to add it again.
1. Open the DMC.
2. Right-click a monitor connection and select Disconnect.
The status of the connection changes to Disconnected.
To reconnect to the DMS, right-click the monitor connection and select Connect.
Refreshing monitor data
The DMC automatically refreshes the Discovered Devices list using data from the DMS. The data
is updated when a connection is first established and after a new device is added. You can manually
refresh monitor data using the following procedure:
1. Open the DMC.
2. Select a monitor connection.
3. In the Actions pane, click Refresh Discovered Devices.
The refresh icon is displayed during the refresh.
TIP: You can also refresh device information by pressing the F5 key.
