You view at a glance, the list of local and federated units that are part of your
system with the Hardware inventory report. You can see the unit
type, manufacturer, model, IP address, password strength, certificate status, and so
on.
What you should know
As an example, you can use the
Hardware inventory report to see what
firmware version a unit has, and determine if it should be
upgraded.
NOTE: The Hardware inventory report
shows information about local and federated units. However, certain
functions such as the action commands at the bottom of the screen,
the properties Password, Proposed firmware version,
Proposed firmware description, and all
certificate-related information are not available for federated
units. To view federated units in the Hardware
Inventory task, the Forward Directory
reports option must be turned ON (default=OFF).
