	~~= Device List =~~		Devices provides a view of all current "devices" or unique MAC address on the local network(s).

	~~The~~ device ~~list stores a list of known devices~~ that ~~exist~~ on ~~the network, identified by MAC address~~.		Each row represents a single a device (unique MAC address) that has been seen on any LAN interface.
	~~It is similar to the [[Host Viewer]] except~~

	* Devices are identified by MAC address		As Untangle scans and processes network traffic, the platform and many of the apps will save information about devices on the network.
	* The device list is ~~saved to~~ the ~~disk~~		This information is stored in the "Device Table" and the Devices view provides a view into the device table.

	~~[[Image:Device_List.png\|600px\|center\|thumb\|An example device list]]~~		= Controls =

	The device ~~list can help you manage and identify~~ all ~~the known~~ devices on your network. If a device that (on any non-WAN interface) is discovered, it will automatically be added to the device list. Because of this the device list permanently stores a list of all devices ever seen on the local network.		The device view by default shows all devices and some basic information about each session.

	~~The device list stores an assortment of information about each device~~.		# '''Refresh''' refreshes the grid with the current active sessions.
			# '''Reset View''' resets the view to the default view. Any changes to the default view are saved in your local browser session.

			# '''Add''' can be used to manually add devices to the device table.
			However, As devices are discovered they are automatically added to the device table.
			# '''Export''' exports the current device table to a JSON file.
			# '''Import''' imports a JSON file into the device table

			More controls can be access by mousing over any column head and using the drowdown menu on the column header.

			# '''Sort Ascending''' sorts the selected column in ascending order.
			# '''Sort Descending''' sorts the selected column in descending order.
			# '''Columns''' allows the removal or addition of columns to the current view.
			# '''Filter''' provides a way to filter current data on this column with the provided value.

			# '''Save''' saves any changes manually made by the administrator

			Unlike [[Sessions]] and [[Hosts]], the device table is saved and permanent.
			The administrator can edit, modify, and save the values of the attributes for each Device.
