Overview
The Inventory List page provides a centralized view of all devices (APs/Router's) added to the Pronto Networks Cloud Controller.
It allows administrators to monitor device status, firmware details, network assignment, and perform bulk operations.
Navigation
Path:
Configure → Inventory List
Inventory List – Column Description
Search
The Search option allows administrators to quickly locate devices within the inventory.
Supports search by:
Device Name
MAC Address
Serial Number
External GUID
Tags
Network Name
Search results are updated in real time as text is entered.
Helps in fast identification of devices in large deployments.
Status
Indicates the current connectivity state of the device with the cloud.
Possible values:
UP (Green) – Device is online and communicating with the controller
DOWN (Red) – Device is offline or not reachable
MAC Address
Unique hardware MAC address of the device.
Acts as the primary identifier in the cloud.
Clicking the MAC typically opens the device detail view page, This page provides real-time status, configuration visibility, and diagnostics for the selected device.
Name
User-defined device name.
Helps in easy identification (e.g., location-based naming).
If not renamed, MAC address may be shown as default.
Serial
Displays the device serial number
Used for inventory tracking and support purposes.
Firmware Version
Shows the currently running firmware on the device.
Helps identify:
Version mismatches
Upgrade requirements
Last Seen Time
Displays the last time the device successfully communicated with the cloud.
Useful for:
Identifying offline duration
Troubleshooting connectivity issues
Activated On
Date when the device was first activated in the cloud.
Helps in lifecycle and deployment tracking.
Network Name
Indicates the network to which the device is currently assigned.
Device inherits all configurations from this network:
SSIDs
Security policies
RF settings
Note: A device can belong to only one network at a time.
Tags
Optional labels applied to devices.
Used for:
Filtering
Grouping
Bulk operations
Tags do not affect device behavior.
External GUID
Optional external identifier.
Used for integration with third-party systems (OSS/BSS, CRM, automation).
Global Actions
Add Inventory
Opens the Add Inventory page.
Used to add new devices into the controller.
Bulk Actions (Inventory List)
The Bulk Actions option in the Inventory List allows administrators to perform mass operations on selected devices (APs/Router's) from a single interface.
To access:
Select one or more devices using the checkbox
Click Bulk Actions from the top-right corner
A side panel opens with the following options.
Add or Remove Device Tags
Allows adding or removing tags for multiple devices simultaneously.
Multiple tags can be selected or created.
Tags are applied only to the selected devices.
Useful for grouping devices by:
Location
Deployment phase
Customer or site
Note: Device tags are for organization and filtering only and do not affect device behavior.
Add to Existing Network
Moves the selected device(s) to an existing network.
Select Network – Choose the target network.
Device Configuration (Copy Device Configuration)
When enabled, existing device-level configuration is retained.
When disabled, device inherits configuration from the target network.
Click Update to apply changes.
Important:
A device can belong to only one network at a time.
Network reassignment triggers configuration re-application.
Add to New Network
Creates a new network and assigns the selected device(s) to it.
Network Name – Enter a unique name for the new network.
Devices are automatically moved to the newly created network.
This is useful for:
Isolating devices
Creating new deployments quickly
Remove from Inventory
Removes the selected device(s) completely from the controller inventory.
Device is no longer managed by the cloud.
This action is irreversible.
Warning:
Device must be re-added manually to manage it again.
Use with caution in production environments.
Remove from Network
Unassigns the selected device(s) from the current network.
When a device is removed from a network, it is unassigned from that network but continues to operate with the last applied configuration from the previous network.
SSIDs, radio settings, and policies remain active on the device.
No new configuration changes are pushed while the device is unassigned.
The device stops inheriting updates from the previous network.
The existing configuration remains in effect until the device is assigned to another network, at which point the new network configuration is applied.
Important: Removing a device from a network does not reset or clear its configuration automatically.
Important: Removing from Network vs Removing from Inventory
Remove from Network → Device stays in inventory
Remove from Inventory → Device is deleted from controller
