Device Status

The Device Status page of the Add/Edit Device dialog box displays status information about the device, such as the current logged in user, location, and local site, as well as the IP address of the device and whether it is currently in a charger.

All of the fields are read-only. This information is similar to the status information you will see in the Device Status Monitor. For more information, see Device Status Monitor.
