 Retail Peripheral Threshold Alerts Setting: HP Retail Peripheral Agent utilizes
the device LDN (Logical Device Name) as the key setting to assign and
collect device information. This section allows users the option to use the
LDN to assign (add or remove) supported retail peripherals to the
management list and custom assign a threshold value to monitor. For HP
peripherals, the HP Retail Peripheral Agent Configuration Utility is designed
to auto detect the HP peripheral device ID and has logic to assign the
device’s default LDN (logical device name) to the configuration list. For the
device’s threshold setting, the value is automatically populated to the
configuration list from the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) specification.
HP Retail Peripheral Agent has the capacity to support all 36 UPOS device
classes and up to four same device classes.
