Last SSID/Location - Last Monitored/Seen

On the 'Devices' page

On the Devices page in Mobile Eye, there are some status fields that represent the current state of a device.

Last SSID

An SSID is a "service set identifier" or the name of a Wi-Fi network.

Values for this field include the name of a network that you've defined in the My Networks portion of the Configuration.

All other networks will report as Remote Network. 

If the device is on a restricted network, then this field will be blank. 

A restricted network is one that is not listed under Configuration > Setup > My Networks, in combination with when you have toggled Configuration > Tests > Test Networks to 'Only My Wi-Fi Networks'. 

While the 'Ethernet' status appears as the Connection Type on the individual device performance page, it currently does not display on the main Devices page. This will be addressed in a later software release.

Last Location

A licensed device will report its last location if access points and locations have been configured.

Unrecognized locations will report as blank.

Devices on a restricted network (see above) will report as blank.

Devices on Ethernet will show the name of the last Wi-Fi network that they were on. However, if the last location was blank due to being on a restricted network, then it will continue to remain blank.

Last Monitored

Licensed devices are monitoring, testing and reporting their results to the cloud. Results sent is in the form of a JSON document. The file is approximately 2KB.

Results are sent to the cloud every 5 minutes after the device has been licensed.

Last Seen

Whether licensed or unlicensed, every 5 minutes, Mobile Eye performs a "health check."

This is similar to "pinging the cloud" to ensure that Mobile Eye on the device is functioning and that 7SIGNAL can successfully communicate with it.

Unknown vs. Remote Location

Unknown Location

The device is on a condoned network that is listed in the 'My Networks' list.

Plus, the device is connected to an access point that has not been mapped to a location (Configuration > Setup > Locations).

Simply put: the device is on a known network, but connected to an unknown access point in an unknown location, or a known access point not yet mapped to a known location.

While the 'Unknown Location' status appears on the individual device performance page, it currently does not display on the main Devices page. This will be addressed in a later software release.

Remote Location

The device is on a network that is not listed in 'My Networks'.  This may be referred to as a Remote Network or a Restricted Network. It is a Restricted Network if the system is configured to test 'Only My Wi-Fi Networks'.

Additionally, the device is connected to an access point that has not been mapped to a location. 

Put simply: Unknown network in an unknown location. Likely a "remote worker".

While the 'Remote Location' status appears on the individual device performance page, it currently does not display on the main Devices page. This will be addressed in a later software release.
