Column Heading

Description

OS

The operating system of the device.

Name

The label assigned to the device by the user. If no name is assigned, the device model number is used as the name.


The device icon to the left of the name shows the device's connection status:


       - 


Device is not reachable. The connection might be down, or the endpoint is switched off.
       -


Slow connection. The device is connected but commands and messages may take some time to execute since the endpoint is busy.
       -


Good connection. Commands should be executed in real time.

       -











      -                  


A device is marked as 'Old' if it does not connect to Xcitium for a certain number of days.


You can set how many consecutive days of inactivity must pass before Xcitium marks a device as 'Old'.

You can also tell Xcitium to remove devices that do not reconnect for a certain number of days after being marked 'Old'.


See Configure Device Removal Settings to read more.



This state indicates when a post-paid invoice is not paid for 14days, after that CCS installed devices can't be managed from platform(for example: No profile changes, no procedure execution etc., can be done)

Note: All such devices are still fully protected as configured before blocking

 
       -


The device is a duplicate. Applies to Windows devices only.


A duplicate device is one that has the same name and / or MAC address as one or more other devices. This could be because the same device was enrolled more than once, or because the same name was given to multiple devices.


You can tell Xcitium to auto-remove duplicate devices or to selectively uninstall the clients.


Alternatively, you could simply rename a device to remove the 'Duplicate' flag.


See Configure Device Removal Settings to read more.

Windows endpoints also have a shield icon to the right of their name. The shield has a colored circle on it which indicates the status of Xcitium Client Security (XCS):

Yellow

-

XCS is not installed on the endpoint.

  • Click the shield icon to remotely install XCS on the endpoint.

  • The 'Install Additional Xcitium Packages' dialog will appear. 

  • XCS requires the endpoint to be restarted in order for the installation to take effect.

  • Configure the 'Restart' options and click 'Install'.

  • See the explanation of remote installation of XCS in Remotely Install and Update Packages on Windows Devices for more details

Gray

-

Outdated clients. Communication Client (CC) and/or Xcitium Client Security (XCS) on the endpoint require updates.

Note. This status is only shown on endpoints that have CC 6.16 + and XCS 10.0 + installed.

Red

-

The endpoint is at risk. One or more of security components (AV, FW or containment) may have been disabled by the user.

  • Place your mouse over the icon to view the warning:

Amber

-

The endpoint needs attention. The virus signature database might be out-dated or the endpoint needs to be re-started after installation of XCS.

  • Place your mouse over the icon to view the full message

Green

-

The endpoint is secure. All installed components are up and running.

Blue

-

XCS is in 'Silent Mode'.


Note: XCS lets users enable 'Silent Mode' if they do not want to be disturbed by product notifications. For example, when running a full-screen presentation.


Alerts and notifications are suppressed and operations that could interfere with their work are postponed.

-

Communication with XCS on the endpoint has been lost.

  • Click the device name to open the device details interface. See Manage Windows Devices, Manage Mac OS Devices, Manage Linux Devices, Manage Android Devices and Manage iOS Devices for more details.

Active Components

Indicates which modules are installed on the device. Possible components are 'Agent', 'Antivirus' (AV), 'Firewall' (FW) 'Containment', XCS, 'MDR', and EDR 



  • Android devices - The agent will automatically install the AV (antivirus) component.

  • iOS devices - Only the agent (Xcitium client) will be installed

The color of the icon shows the status of the component:
