Main Screen (Home) Devinf

The main screen (home) runs devinf –v immediately upon startup and prints all device information to the screen.

 

Auto Refresh (Advanced Mode Only)

You may change the settings defining the auto update of this screen so that the screen will run devinf periodically depending on the interval assigned (defined in setting screen).

The button “refresh” runs devinf immediately and updates data on the screen.

The button “save results”, saves the devinf results to text file

 

Room Tagging

In the room tagging field you may add a string to describe the board's location (e.g. study, kitchen, living room) and press update to save this tagging (it will be shown in all screens)

In case you want to clear all tags (e.g. when moving to another location) you can push the “delete all room tagging“ button.

 

Quality

Under this field you will find the periodic quality test results for each device. The number will be displayed in Green or Red according to the threshold setting in the settings screen. The feature may be enable/disable in the settings screen.

Note: not all firmware versions support periodic quality tests.

If this is not supported and the feature is enabled you will see “n.a.” instead of the quality result.

MAC Address

In the MAC address field you find the MAC address of the device starting with the corresponding OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier). You may edit (notepad/vi) the OUI table by yourself to add more companies:

• Windows (C:\CMS\app\cgi-bin\oui.conf)

• Linux (/var/www/html/www-root/cgi-bin/oui.conf)

 

The file format is made up of 6 digits (OUI) with colons, a single space and the company name.

Examples:

• 00:C5:D9 CopperGate

• 11:22:33 OneTwoThree

MAC 00:c5:d9:00:21:6a will be displayed as CopperGate_00:21:6a
