Not all functions are available in the Lite Edition. When working with the Professional Edition of Confire Cloud, you have the option to send a configuration template to multiple devices. A detailed guide can be found here.

Automatic reassignment of a device to a new agent¶

If a device changes networks, Confire Cloud automatically assigns it to the tenant responsible for the new network. This ensures that communication between the device and the cloud remains continuously available without requiring manual intervention.

Example

Before the network change, the device was assigned the IP address 172.19.114.235 and belonged to the tenant Einstein-Schule:

After the network change, the device receives the new IP address 192.168.1.234 and is automatically assigned to the tenant Goethe-Schule:

View settings¶

You have the option in the available editions to view the settings of a device and then edit them if desired.

Next to a device, click on the three dots and select View settings:

Confire Cloud connects to the device and loads the settings into a popup window. This may take a few seconds. The settings are organized into the columns “Device Management”, “Network Management”, and “Admin Settings” in the same familiar layout as the device’s web settings:

Edit settings¶

To change the display language, for example, click on the pencil icon on the right:

Select a different language. Then click on Save:

To save the new settings, click on the disk icon at the top right:

Successful saving is confirmed. Click on OK to close the popup window:

Block devices¶

Click the Block devices button to add a device to the block list:
The device is removed from the device overview:
The device can be found in the device block list:
To unblock the device, click the Unblock device button:
The device is returned to the device overview:

Add devices¶

Devices are automatically detected by the agent when the devices and the agent are on the same network. New devices are added to the group Not grouped:

Rename devices¶

With this function, you can rename multiple devices at the same time using a uniform naming pattern.

Select the devices you want to rename:

Click on the three dots at the top right and then select the Rename devices function:

The Rename devices popup window opens.

The number is automatically incremented for each additional device (EZ-001, EZ-002, EZ-003, …).
Click Apply pattern to apply the naming pattern to all selected devices.
Alternatively, you can also customize the device names individually:

Click Apply to start the renaming process.
The processing status is displayed on the right in each case:

If you close the window, the updated device names will appear in the device list after approximately one minute:

Online / status display for agents¶

If an agent service fails or communication between the agent and Confire Cloud is interrupted for 5 minutes or longer, the system displays a status indicator in the device overview for all devices assigned to the respective agent.
This status can also be viewed in Agents / Networks:
