The Echo Administration Screen

The

Echo Administration Screen

is divided into three main sections. The left-

hand side displays the navigation bar with tabs. The central area of the screen is

where the various inventory tables are displayed, depending on which tab you

select. To the right of the screen is where specific information is displayed in

detail panes relevant to your selections in the table display.

The Terminals Table

The

Terminals

table is where you can view the individual terminals being

managed by the Echo software. Information such as the

Name

Location

Description

, and many other details of each terminal can be viewed here.

Dell terminals and desktop access devices have a service called the Echo Agent

that communicates with the Echo managed server. The Echo Agent announces

its presence to the Echo server by continuously sending XML-based messages

known as “heartbeats,” which occur every 60 seconds by default. As the agent

heartbeats into the server, information about that device is displayed in the

Terminals

table.
