22 • Creating/Editing Groups of Devices
Creating/Editing Groups of Devices _______
Before discovering the devices on your network, it may be beneficial to create groups in order to
monitor and manage them in an efficient manner.
• A group can have attributes assigned to it such as location, contact person, SNMP community
and even images of maps and floor plans which are used to quickly locate individual devices.
• Groups can be arranged in a hierarchy where a “parent group” can contain sub groups. A device
can also be a member of more than one group.
• You can assign a subnet or a range of IP addresses (for discovery purposes) to a group, and as
an added convenience, a link to the discovery screen is provided when groups are displayed.
Create or Edit a Group
1. Click Printers from the main menu and Printer Groups,Maps from the drop down menu to
view a list of groups already created.
2. Click the Add Group/Map button to create a new group of devices.
3. Assign a Parent group, a group name, location, contact person responsible for the group, a
map or floor plan and the SNMP community.
See “Adding Maps and Floor Plans to a Group” on page 24 for more information on assigning
maps and floor plans to a group.
