Edge Nodes Details Page - Devices Tab
The Devices tab provides information about LAN and USB devices that are connected to an edge node. Use this tab to view device activity, search and filter the device inventory, manage LAN devices, and block or unblock USB devices.
The following controls and actions are unique to the Devices tab.
Device type switcher
Use the device type switcher to select the type of devices to display:
-
LAN devices: Displays devices connected to the edge node through Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet LAN interfaces.
-
USB devices: Displays devices connected to the edge node through USB ports.
The selected device type determines the graphs, filters, table columns, and available actions shown on the page.
Data usage graphs
The Devices tab includes data usage graphs that show traffic for the selected device type on the Cloud Connector's LAN. The graphs are displayed side by side:
-
Transmitted data: Shows the amount of data sent by connected devices.
-
Received data: Shows the amount of data received by connected devices.
Use the time span menu to change the period of collected and displayed data.

On an Edge Node details page, the Devices tab lists the devices detected by the edge node. The table contents depend on the selected device type. For LAN devices, the inventory includes devices connected through Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet LAN interfaces. For USB devices, the inventory includes devices connected through USB ports. Use the Columns button to show or hide available columns in the table.

Actions
The actions available on the Devices tab depend on the selected device type.
For LAN devices, use Manage Devices to manage devices detected by the edge node. From the Manage Devices drawer, you can block a device by MAC address or assign a static IP address to an onboarded device when the device MAC address is included during onboarding. You can also unblock a LAN device by removing the row from the table or by unchecking the checkbox.
For USB devices, use the available block or unblock actions for the visible USB devices.
