4.2.3 Querying Devices and Update Database
The MC database contains a snapshot of each device’s configuration settings. The MC
automatically queries each device once an hour and updates its internal database. If you want
to force the tool to refresh its internal copy of the device settings, you can use the Update box
on the upper right hand side of the Device Management webpage. This feature lets you
update one, multiple, or all devices discovered by the MC.
Note: Updating a large number of devices can take a few minutes.
To update:
 One device: Select the device to update, and then click the Update Device button.
 Multiple devices: Select the devices by holding down the Shift button and selecting
the devices. After the devices are selected, click the Update Devices button.
 All devices: Ensure no devices are selected by clicking the deselect links at the top of
the HOSTS and ZERO CLIENTS columns. When all devices are de-selected, click
the Update All button.
A future release of the MC will display a status bar that provides information to let you know
when the update is complete. To view the update time using the current version of the tool,
from the Device Management webpage, set the Field option in the Filter box to Last
Updated.
4.2.4 Filtering Devices
The Filter box supports different ways to filter the PCoIP devices that appear in the HOSTS
and ZERO CLIENTS columns. This can be useful when searching for specific devices or
subsets of devices. You can filter devices using one or more of the following options:
 The Field dropdown menu: Select the device data field that appears in the HOSTS
and ZERO CLIENTS columns. You can select from one of the following:
o Name: A user-defined value assigned to each device managed by the MC. This
field is stored in the MC database. It is not stored in the device configuration
settings. See section 4.2.10 for more details.
o Unique ID: Read-only device configuration field provisioned at the factory.
o MAC Address: Read-only device configuration field provisioned at the factory.
o IP Address: Configured statically in the device or dynamically by a DHCP
server.
o FW Version: Determined by the firmware loaded on the device.
o FQDN: The device FQDN if one is registered with the deployments DNS server.
If the FQDN is not registered with the DNS server the MC displays the device IP
address.
o Last Updated: Displays the timestamp of when the MC last updated its internal
database with the actual device configuration settings.
o Label - Name: The PCoIP device name read from the device.
