Introduction

The Omada App allows you to easily monitor and manage all devices connected to your Omada Controller . Through features such as the device list display, category filtering, condition sorting, search, and status description, you can quickly view device information, organize equipment by type or condition, locate specific devices, and understand their real-time status. These tools make it simple to maintain visibility and control over your entire Omada network anytime, anywhere.

Device List Display

The Omada App’s Device List feature allows users to view, organize, and manage all Omada devices connected to their Controller in one convenient dashboard. It displays key details such as each device’s model name, connection status, and firmware version by default. Users have the option to sort devices by type or condition, search for specific equipment, and easily identify devices that require action, such as pending adoption or firmware updates, through the device list display.

In short, the Omada App Device List provides a clear overview and complete control of all connected devices, helping maintain visibility and streamline network administration.

To navigate to the Device List, you would go to the Omada Mobile App>Controller Mode Screen>Select Your Desired Controller>Devices

Category Filtering

The Category Filtering feature in the Device List allows users to efficiently view, organize, and manage all devices connected to their network through a single easy-to-navigate interface. It enables filtering by device type, such as routers, switches, or access points, and by device group, which is particularly useful for managing bridge configurations or large-scale deployments.

In short, Category Filtering provides a structured overview of your network, helping you quickly locate specific devices, monitor performance, and streamline overall network management within the Omada SDN Controller.

To sort devices by category, you would go to: Omada Mobile App>Controller Mode Screen>Select Your Desired Controller>Devices>Device List>Tap the Desired Device Category to Filter Devices by Category

Device List Sorting

The Omada App’s Device List Sorting feature allows users to easily organize and manage all Omada devices connected to their Controller from the Device List interface. Users can sort devices by key parameters such as device status, name, model, IP address, MAC address, uptime, firmware version, and the number of connected clients.

Each column can be sorted in either ascending or descending order, making it simple to quickly locate devices based on performance, configuration, or operational status. This flexibility provides a clear and customizable overview of the network, allowing administrators to identify specific devices or conditions at a glance.

In short, the Device List Sorting feature in the Omada App helps streamline device management by allowing users to sort and view network information in the most efficient and meaningful way for their workflow.

Device List Search

The Omada App’s Device Search feature allows users to quickly locate any Omada device connected to their SDN Controller from the Device List interface. Within the Device List, users can type keywords such as the device name, IP address, or model to instantly filter and display only the relevant equipment. This feature streamlines network management by removing the need to scroll through long device lists and allows users to immediately find and manage the device they need.

In addition to basic search capabilities, the feature supports dynamic filtering, meaning results update in real time as you type. This makes it especially convenient when managing larger networks or troubleshooting specific devices.

In short, the Device Search tool within the Omada App provides a fast and precise way to locate network devices, improving efficiency and helping administrators maintain full visibility and control over their managed environments anytime, anywhere.

To search for specific devices in the Omada App’s Devices Menu, you would go to:: Omada Mobile App>Controller Mode Screen>Select Your Desired Controller>Device List>Type in the Top Search Bar in the Devices Screen
