Quick Tour
The Fing app has four main screens, quickly accessible from the buttons at the bottom of the
screen.
Devices - shows the list of all the devices monitored by Fingbox. From this screen you can
access device details and technical info about the network, sort devices in different ways and
export the device list into various file formats.
Fingbox notifies you about devices when:
a new device appears on the network for the first time (enabled by default)
an existing device changes its status, e.g. online offline and vice versa (you have
to enable this alert for each device you want alerts for)
See the Devices section for detailed instructions on how to use each element on the screen.
My Networks - shows the list of all the networks belonging to your Fing account. A network can
be of two types:
Unmanaged (manual scan only) - this is the classic
Fing network, created and updated every
time you run a manual scan from the Devices screen. Unmanaged networks are marked with
any of the “context” icons for Home, Office, Rental, Public or Unclassified. You can delete an
unmanaged network with a swipe-left gesture. All the customizations you made to devices will
be lost.
Managed by Fingbox - this type of network has a Fingbox and can be managed from anywhere
(locally or via Internet). Managed networks are displayed with an icon representing a small
Fingbox. If you have multiple Fingbox units activated under your account, you’ll see them
listed here. You can switch from one to another by simply tapping on the list item. If you
swipe-left to delete a managed network, the associated Fingbox will be deactivated and its
memory wiped out and reset to factory defaults. Because of this potential data loss, a pop-up
will always ask you to confirm a deactivation.
Tools - this screen contains network tools running locally on your phone (not on the Fingbox).
You can use them on any network, on any hostname or IP address to scan for open ports, ping,
traceroute or send a Wake-on-LAN command. These tools are independent from Fingbox.
