FunctionDescription
Hubs

XClarity One makes it easy to initially configure a new management hub using a setup wizard (see Configuring XClarity One Hub).

XClarity One makes it easy to keep your hubs up to date by pushing the latest updates to the hub repository and automatically staring the update process (see Hub updates).

You can regenerate the root certificate authority (CA) for a hub (see Regenerating the self-signed hub server certificate).

You can enable or disable enable certain device-management functions (such as power actions or firmware updates) for specific hubs from the hub user interface, or disable the functions globally in all hubs in your organization from the XClarity One web interface (see Management features and functions).

To transfer firmware to managed devices and to update the firmware, you must open ports 115 and 6990 on the managed devices (see Configuring the hub network).

You can interact with the web interface using keyboard actions. Use Esc to navigate, use Enter to trigger an action, and use Space to skip steps in a wizard (when applicable).
