The Approve and Quarantine buttons can be used to manage which devices are part of the operational network.

One of the aims of HOME is to keep the network secure. Whenever a new device is detected, it is automatically placed in quarantine. The user can then check the device's network settings (to avoid duplicate control IPs or multicast addresses) before adding the device to the operational network (using the Approve button).

If you are experiencing problems with the network, then a device can be placed in quarantine manually (using the Quarantine button).

Important: Any change is implemented immediately, without confirmation, and so you should make sure that a device's streams are not in use before using the Quarantine function.

In each case, follow the steps below to use each function.

1.    From the main "Devices" page, select an entry (or entries) using the selection checkboxes (on the left of the table).

2.    Click on Approve or Quarantine to change the current status of the device.

The progress is shown in the "Status" and "Admissions" columns.
