Note: An MFP can only be assigned to one workspace at a time (i.e., it will not show in the available MFP list after being assigned until removed from the other workspace).  If an MFP is not discovered by a subsequent agent (with an overlapping IP address range), check to see if the MFP is already associated with another agent. This overlap information will also be found in the System Log.  If necessary, you can delete the MFP from the first agent and rediscover it with the second agent.

To support automatic input switching, each display must be configured on the Display Information page.

For more information, go to Automatic Input Switch.

If an agent in the cloud is not removed during uninstallation, there may be more than one agent with that name and IP address in the Admin Portal. If this occurs, manually remove the uninstalled agent from the Admin Portal Devices and Agents page.
