Hardware Groups (Licensed)

One of the great features within Cambrionix Connect is being able to group specific hardware into groups. This means if you want to group specific devices or hubs and view them all at once this can be done easily within your organisation.

Prerequisites

In order to use Hardware groups you will require the following

  • Cambrionix Hub API (at least V 3.19.2)

  • The Host computers with the connected hardware to be added to your organisation

  • A sufficient Cambrionix Connect License is required. (To use this feature, you will need a license supplied by Cambrionix Ltd. Currently, the license is not available, but it will be coming soon. If you are interested in using this feature once the license is available, please contact enquiries@cambrionix.com.)

Hardware groups overview

To view and create hardware groups, first navigate to the organisation you wish to access. Once you have selected the organisation and clicked on its tile, you will then be able to click on the 'Manage Hardware Groups' button at the top of the page.

Once through to the overview page you can view a list of current hardware groups, within this list you can see each groups Name, Description and ID. You can also create a new group from this page.

Creating Hardware Groups

Clicking on the 'Create Group' button on the hardware groups overview page will allow you to start the process of making a new group.

Firstly you will need to create a name and description for your group, we would recommend creating a unique recognisable name for your group as this will make it easier to assign hardware to the groups later.

Once you have added the name and description press the create button and you will navigate back to the group overview page and see the new group has been created.

Assigning hardware to groups

Once you have created a group you can then assign hardware to the group. To assign a hub to a group you will need to navigate to the Hub settings page. From here you can see a section called 'Groups' and there is a dropdown box, if you click the down arrow you will see a list of available hardware groups and can select the groups you want to add the hub to. You can assign a hub to multiple groups.

You can also assign devices to groups, to do this you navigate to the device page and similar to the hub use the dropdown box to assign a device to one or more groups.

Hardware Group Details

From the hardware groups overview page you can select an exsiting group and view the details of the group such as:

  • Details

  • Creation and Updates

  • Devices

  • Hubs

The details section is where you can view the Id, Name and Description of the group and edit the Name or Description.

Creation and Updates you can view the name and email address of the account that created the hardware group, you can also see the information on when the latest update took place and who peformed the update.

The Devices and Hubs section of the page is where you can view Names, Types and Ids of devices and hubs and also remove them from the hardware groups.
