9.7.6 Setting a host as a non-detection target

If the network contains hosts that need not be managed as hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed, you can specify such hosts as non-detection targets so that they will no longer be detected. You can also restore such hosts to detection target status.

Note that network devices whose type is not Computer, such as routers and printers, are handled automatically as non-detection targets.

If the detection results of hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed are set to be displayed under the Hold icon, you must manually specify the hosts that are to be managed as non-detection targets starting from the next detection.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Setting hosts as non-detection targets
(2) Setting hosts as detection targets

(1) Setting hosts as non-detection targets

Hosts set as non-detection targets are displayed under the Non-detection target icon. Such hosts will not be detected until they are specified as hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

To set a host as a non-detection target:

  1. In the left-hand frame of the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box, select a host that you wish to set as non-detection target.
    If you select the Hold icon, Non-JP1/SD host icon, or a network address, all the hosts displayed under the selected item are selected.
  2. Click the Non-detection target button.
    The selected hosts are displayed under the Non-detection target icon and treated as non-detection targets starting at the next detection of hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed.

(2) Setting hosts as detection targets

You can specify hosts displayed under the Hold icon or specified as non-detection targets as hosts on which JP1/Software Distribution is not installed and handle them as detection targets.

When a host is set as a detection target, its display location changes in the Detection of Hosts Not Containing Software Distribution dialog box, but detection does not take place. To display the most recent information, re-execute detection.
