Overview
The Radix MDM has a set of commands to place a device on standby, as well as turn a device on or off. Using the Power commands can conserve power on idle devices and extend their lifetime. The Power commands can be found under the Power heading in the device’s drop-down menu:
- - Restart, to restart a remote device
- - Shutdown, to shut down a remote device
- - Wake On LAN, to wake up a device via a signal sent over an Ethernet connection
- - Standby, to put a device in hibernation
- - Wake Up, to arouse a hibernating device
Accessing the Power Commands
There are several ways of accessing the Power commands:
From the Device’s Three-Dot Menu
1. Click on the Devices icon in the sidebar menu to open the Devices Table.
2. After locating your device in the Device Table, click on the device’s three-dot (“Device Actions”) menu in the far-right-hand column, and drill down to Power.
From the Bulk Actions Button
Another method to access the Standby and Wake Up commands is from the Bulk Actions button.
1. Click on the Devices icon in the sidebar menu to open the Devices Table.
2. Select the device, or several devices, on which you would like to use the Power commands by clicking on the checkbox in the far-left column of the device’s listing. The Bulk Actions button will become active.
3. Go to Bulk Actions>Power to access the Power commands.
Using the Power Options on a Group of Devices
If you have created a group of devices by assigning them tags, you can apply the Power commands to the entire group of devices.
To access the Power commands on a group of devices:
1. Click on the Devices icon in the sidebar menu to open the Devices Table.
2. Click on the Groups icon in the Devices Table to open the Groups pane (if it is not open already). All of the existing groups of devices will be displayed.
3. Use the Search bar at the top of the Groups panel to find a particular group. In our example, we will select the group “ATV”, which is comprised entirely of Android TVs with the identifying tag “atv”.
