The Echo Administration Screen
The Echo Administration Screen is divided into three main sections.
The left-hand side displays the navigation bar with tabs. The central
area of the screen is where the various inventory tables are displayed,
depending on which tab you select. To the right of the screen is where
specific information is displayed in detail panes relevant to your
selections in the table display.
The Terminals Table
The Terminals table is where you can view the individual terminals
being managed by the Echo software. Information such as the Name,
Location, Description, and many other details of each terminal can be
viewed here.
Acer terminals and desktop access devices have a service called the
Echo Agent that communicates with the Echo managed server. The
Echo Agent announces its presence to the Echo server by continuously
sending XML-based messages known as
“heartbeats,” which occur
every 60 seconds by default. As the agent heartbeats into the server,
information about that device is displayed in the Terminals table.
