Device Summary

The Device Summary page displays basic information about a device, including:

• Display Name. Displays the identifying name for the current device. This name is populated during discovery, but can be changed by the user at any time in the Device Properties - General page. Changing the name will not change how the device is polled, it only effects how it is displayed in WhatsUp Gold.

• Additional attributes associated with the device (Location, Contact and Description as well as any custom attributes) are displayed below the device icon. Attributes can be added, modified or removed from the Device Properties - Attributes page.
