Using Your Appliance
The following controls are available from the RAE Systems Devices tab of the RAE Systems task:
To change the RAE Systems Devices settings, use the controls to specify the desired values in the 
appropriate fields. When you are finished, click OK and any changes you have made will be saved to the 
appliance.
The Remote RAE Server Tab
Once your appliance is licensed to use RAE Systems Sensors Option, you can configure your appliance 
to receive RAE Systems device information from Remote RAE Clients in your network and then collect 
the data into a single interface, and to set thresholds, monitor alerts, and graph data reported by the RAE 
Systems devices on Remote RAE Clients just like any other sensor connected to and supported by your 
appliance.

the list of Allowed RAE Systems Devices. Devices in the 
Ignored RAE Systems Devices selection list do not appear in 
the Navigation Pane and will not be shared with a Remote RAE

Server only from those devices that are in the Allowed RAE 
Systems Devices selection list.
