Best Practices for Device Management
Device Naming Convention
Use clear, descriptive device names that include location and function:
- Good: "Entrance_Camera_North", "Barrier_Gate_1", "Sensor_Lot_A"
- Poor: "Device1", "Camera", "Gate"
Regular Monitoring
Check the Device Management page daily to:
- Identify offline devices and address connectivity issues promptly
- Monitor device health and error conditions
- Track firmware versions and system updates
Network Configuration
Ensure proper network setup for optimal device performance:
- Use static IP addresses or DHCP reservations for device consistency
- Implement proper firewall rules allowing device communication
- Maintain separate network segments for device traffic when possible
Documentation & Tracking
Maintain accurate records for all devices:
- Document firmware versions and update dates
- Track warranty dates and support contact information
- Record MAC addresses and static IP assignments
- Maintain maintenance schedules and service history
