This section describes how to detect automatically and register the information of device connected the network as the device information managed in the management ledger.
The methods for detecting automatically the unregistered device are as follows.
Batch Network Check
It is the method for detecting automatically and collectively the unregistered device out of the network segment through CS Server.
Network Segment-based Check
It is the method for detecting the unregistered machined by using ADT after installing ADT in each network segment. This can be done by obtaining detailed device information for checking devices not registered in a ledger, or by obtaining device information (simple and prompt collection) for checking devices connected to without permission.
The function differences between batch network check and network segment-based check are as follows:
Device Information | Batch network check | Network Segment-Based Check |
|---|---|---|
Acquired out of the network segment | Can | Cannot |
Device to be detected | Device meeting all the following conditions
| Device meeting all the following conditions
|
Acquired information | Device category (Note 1) *For device not supporting SNMP, only IP address, host name and date and time for detection are acquired. | Device category (Note 1) *For devices not supporting SNMP, only the IP address, MAC address, host name/computer name, and detection datetime are obtained. |
Install ADT | Not necessary. But compared with network segment-based check, the number of detectable device is less. | ADT should be installed in each network segment. But compared with batch network check, the number of detectable device is more. |
Note 1: For device category, "PC" will also be collected as "Other Device". Confirm the actual status of the device through IP address/host name and register to the ledger according to the category of confirmed device as other device.
Note 2: Only IPv4 information is collected, in IPv4 and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack environments. In dual stack environments, information is collected only from IPv4 segments, and only if CS supports IPv4. IPv6 information is not collected.
Note 3: Only IPv4 information is collected, in IPv4 and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack environments. IPv6 information is not collected.
Note 4: To collect devices connected to without permission, only the IP address, MAC address, and detection datetime are collected.
Use conditions
The selection for either batch network check or network segment-based check is different due to the considerations for use.
Firstly, it is the method for detecting the unregistered device through batch network check.
When confirming the collected device information matches roughly the detected number of device and category, continue using batch network check.
However, the batch network check might not be able to detect PC with OS of Windows Vista or later strengthening the security. When the detected Number of PC(s) is smaller than the assumed number, PC which cannot be detected through batch network check might exist.
At this time, install ADT in each network segment, switch to network segment-based check and detect the unregistered device.
It is the method used in "Whether to take PC as detection object" respectively.
Since the OS of Windows Vista or later strengthened the security, responses will not be made to ICMP and SNMP in the initial setting. Thus, batch network check might not be able to detect more PCs, network segment-based check and batch network check should be used respectively through "Whether to take PC as detection object" in automatic detection.
Detection Object | Detection Method |
|---|---|
Detect PC only | Network segment-based check |
Detect the network device other than PC | Batch Network Check |
Detect all network device | Network segment-based check |
For example, to investigate whether PC where CT has not been installed exists, because it had better to detect "PC Only", detect through "Network Segment-based Check". Since PC can be collected through CT, if device other than PC are to be detected, take "Network Device Other than PC" as detection object, and detect through "Batch network check".
This method detects whether a connection device that has been managed in a management ledger is later connected to without permission.
If a device connected to a network could have been connected to without permission after the following types of operation have been run, use the network segment-based check:
A batch network check is run to detect unregistered devices (use condition 1).
Usage is determined based on "whether to take PC as detection object" (use condition 2).
Devices to be managed are registered in the management ledger in advance.
There are two types of network segment-based check, as explained below. Refer to "Install ADT" in the Installation Guide for details on how to configure detailed settings.
Collecting devices connected to without permission: Use this method to detect devices connected to without permission within a relatively short period, such as one hour.
Collecting devices not registered in the ledger: Use this method to detect devices within a relatively long interval, such as one week.
By setting unregistered device notification, notifications can be emailed. Refer to "11.1.8 Set Unregistered Device Notification" for details.
Using stage for automatic detection
The registration/modification function according to automatic detection can be used in 2 larger stages.
Installation stage
The installation stage refers to the stage before using after setting batch network check by schedule or installing ADT and registering the current device information to the asset ledger.
Using stage
The using stage refers to the stage of adding device information to the asset ledger, confirming legality maintenance of the asset ledger and making an inventory after adding device through device purchasing and lease contract.
It describes the procedure for the automatic detection and registration of device information in the installation stage.
It is mainly to create asset ledger by using Inventory information collected through Systemwalker Desktop Patrol for PC. For device which have not been connected the network PC (UNIX device, printers, Fax, Router, etc.), the asset ledger will be created by using the automatic detection function of device information.
Besides, for device which cannot be detected automatically such as USB memory, refer to "11.2.2 Register/Modify Ledger" to register to the asset ledger.
The procedure in the installation stage is as follows:
The unregistered device are detected automatically and collectively through CS.
This method takes the network segment registered in Segment Management as detection object, and device information out of the network segment can be detected. However, for network segments which have been performed network segment-based check through ADT, they will be excluded from the object.
When errors occurred in the detection, the errors will be output to the Unregistered Management > Collection Status > Error Log window or the event log.
This function is installed when installing CS, so it is unnecessary to install it again, but it should be set as follows after installing CS.
Set the range and object of automatic detection.
Open the Assets Management > Ledger > Unregistered Management > Segment Management window in the main menu.
Segment information to be detected automatically is defined beforehand by a batch network check. The segments targeted for automatic detection are the ones defined here and the ones for which ADT will not perform a network segment-based check. For details, refer to "Linked network segment and setting location".
Set automatic detection schedule.
On CS, click Start > All Programs > Systemwalker Desktop Patrol > Environment Setup > Scheduling of Automatic Detection, or Apps > Systemwalker Desktop Patrol > Scheduling of Automatic Detection.
Select Scheduled Collection of Network Detected Devices in the Setup of Collective Detection tab in the Scheduling of Automatic Detection window, and set the schedule in each item of Scheduler Setting.
Item | Descriptions | |
|---|---|---|
On Demand Collection of Network Detected Devices | Selected when not starting batch network check by schedule. | |
Scheduled Collection of Network Detected Devices | Selected when starting batch network check by schedule. | |
Device Detection thru Ping | Selected when device responding to Ping only will also be detected as the unregistered device. After being selected, device which cannot get MAC address (*1) will also be output to the List of Unregistered Device window. *1: Devices that respond to ICMP but not to SNMP (that is, devices that do not support SNMP or with SNMP security protection) | |
Scheduler Setting | Daily | Selected when notifying the device information daily. |
Weekly | Selected when detecting the device information weekly. The values that can be specified (via the option buttons) are: Monday to Sunday. | |
Monthly | Selected when detecting the device information monthly. Select the date for execution in Execution Date. Besides, as Execution Date, when the date not existing in the set month has been specified, automatic detection cannot be performed in this month. Thus, when executing at the end of the month, consider executing at 00:00 on the first day of each month. When selecting Monthly, the initial value is 1st Day, and the start time is the current time. | |
Start Time | Set the time for starting collective detection of device information. | |
Click the Apply button.
Install ADT.
For how to create "ADT Module", refer to Installation Guide.
Distribute/set ADT to each network segment of the client.
For how to distribute/set ADT, and select PC for installing ADT, refer to Installation Guide.
Install CT in each PC.
Collect Inventory information through CS.
Thus, PC information is registered to the asset ledger.
By using the automatic detection function of the device information, confirm the unregistered device according to information collected by device imported through ADT.
For how to import the device information, refer to "11.2.3.1 Import Detected Device Information". Besides, for how to confirm the unregistered device, refer to "11.2.3.2 Display/Register Unregistered Device". If a segment for which a detected device exists was not defined in advance, the segment is automatically defined. In this case, set the setting location of the segment. Refer to "Linked network segment and setting location" for details on how to set the setting location of a segment.
Note
When Do not Allow Notification if the Segment Information is not Defined on the CS is selected in the Setup of Detection to Segment tab of the Scheduling of Automatic Detection window, segments that have not been defined in advance will be defined automatically.
If the unregistered device exist, confirm whether CT has been installed in the correspondent PC.
When CT has been installed:
Since Inventory collection might fail, confirm the environment setup of CT.
When CT has not been installed:
If CT has not been installed, perform Inventory collection after installing CT.
Besides, if CT has not been installed, register PC information to the asset information manually according to Procedure 7.
After the operation above, perform Procedure 4. and Procedure 5. again.
By using the automatic detection function of the device information, register the unregistered device other than PC (UNIX device, printers, Fax, Router, etc.) and device where CT has not been installed to the asset ledger collectively. Besides, after assets management has been performed before installing Systemwalker Desktop Patrol, the current asset information can be reflected and registered when registering collectively to the asset ledger in this operation.
For how to register the unregistered device, refer to "11.2.3.2 Display/Register Unregistered Device".
Through the operations above, even if for PC and device other than PC, they can be registered to the management ledger without missing one, and the asset ledger can be created and maintained correctly.
It describes the procedure for automatic detection and registration of the device information in the using stage.
In the using stage of Systemwalker Desktop Patrol, use the automatic detection function of the device information aiming at maintaining the asset ledger correctly.
The basic procedure is by using this function, register the device which have not been registered to the asset ledger detected through the automatic detection function of the device information to the asset ledger again, and maintain as the correct asset ledger.
Same as the installation stage, for PC, create the asset ledger by using Inventory information collected through Systemwalker Desktop Patrol. For device which have not been connected the network PC (UNIX device, printers, Fax, Router, etc.), the asset ledger will be created by using the automatic detection function of the device information.
The following describes how to maintain the asset ledger when using Systemwalker Desktop Patrol through the automatic detection function of the device information.
[Method for Maintaining Asset Ledger]
Confirm regularly whether the unregistered device exist in the Unregistered Machine window of the device information automatic detection function.
In general use, combining the set schedule, weekly or monthly confirmation is enough.
If unregistered device exist, confirm the location according to the displayed information.
Through the information collected as the unregistered device and detailed machine, confirm the detailed information of location, user and machine.
Register the unregistered machined to the asset ledger.
Register the device confirmed in Procedure 2. to the asset ledger.
When the device is PC, it will be registered automatically through CT information and Inventory collection. When the device is not PC, it will be registered to the asset ledger by using the automatic detection function of the device information.
Set device information collection by schedule.
Open the Assets Management > Ledger > Unregistered Management > Segment Management window in the main menu.

Confirmation method when the device information cannot be collected
The notification date and time of the device information can be confirmed in the unit of network segment. In case this notification date and time is not updated within a certain period, it might not be able to collect the device information.
The method for confirmation when the device information cannot be collected is as follows:
ADT log confirmation
In case communication error occurred when notifying the errors when collecting the device information and the device information to CS through ADT, the error will be output to ADT log.
The procedure for confirming ADT log is as follows:
On ADT, click Start > All Programs > Systemwalker Desktop Patrol ADT > Scheduling of Automatic Detection, or Apps > Systemwalker Desktop Patrol ADT > Scheduling of Automatic Detection.
Click the Log Viewing Display button in the Scheduling of Automatic Detection window.
The error log window will be displayed
Confirm the content of error log, and handle it according to the errors.
CS log confirmation
In case errors occurred when saving the device information detected through batch network check/ADT (when reflecting to the database), logs will be collected on CS. For the confirmation of logs on CS, refer to "11.2.3.2 Display/Register Unregistered Device".
By comparing the device collected information connected the network with the asset ledger, the information of the unregistered device which have not been registered to the asset ledger can be displayed in the window. Besides, for device displayed as unregistered device, they can be registered to the asset ledger.
The device collected information displayed here has nothing to do with the collection method of the device, it will be saved for 60 days from the date and time for automatic detection.
The device information in this period will accumulate the collected content of device information. However, when modifying the network segment for batch network check as network segment-based check in this period, the device information in the correspondent network segment will be replaced as the content of network segment-based check.
Startup method of the unregistered management window
The method for starting the Unregistered Management window is as follows:
Log onto the main menu and click the Ledger.
The Ledger window will be displayed
Click Unregistered Management.
The following window will be displayed

[Notification Content of Unregistered Device]
The automatically detected device information when notifying the device information will be accumulated as the previous detection result after the new information is notified, and the device information previously or earlier is reserved.
Register the device taken as unregistered device to the asset ledger.
There are 3 methods for registration:
Register to the asset ledger after confirming the unregistered device one by one
It is mainly to detect the unregistered device and used when the number of the unregistered device is less.
Register collectively the unregistered device to the asset ledger.
It is mainly used when a large number of unregistered device exist such as during installation.
Register after linking the unregistered device and the device which have been registered to the asset ledger
Since the MAC address of the device has not been registered while the device has been registered to the asset ledger, for device detected as unregistered machine, register it after linking it with the device of the asset ledger.
As registration method, use the Device Management > Modify Device Information and Collectively Register/Modify Asset Ledger function to add and register the MAC address of device to be linked and registered to the current device information. After completing the registration, the correspondent device information will be displayed through the List of Unregistered Device window.
