Gaming PC Management in IZI CRM: Devices Overview
The Devices section in IZI CRM is the registry of every gaming PC and console (Xbox, PlayStation) registered at your club. Each device is tied to a zone and identified by a unique numeric name. From here you add new machines, edit their names and zone assignments, and archive retired hardware — keeping your Control Center accurate and your session data clean.
Where to open: left panel → Devices
Device List
Section titled “Device List”The list shows all registered devices. Each row contains:
- Name — numeric identifier (digits only, up to 4 characters, unique within the club)
- Zone — the zone this device belongs to
- UUID — the hardware identifier reported by the IZI client (typically the MAC address for PCs); shown as reference information, not used as the primary identifier
- Type — PC or console (Xbox / PlayStation)
- Version — installed IZI client version on this machine
Filters
Section titled “Filters”Use the toolbar to narrow the list:
- Search by name — instant lookup by numeric device name
- Zone — show only devices in a specific zone
- Device type — filter by hardware category
Adding a Device
Section titled “Adding a Device”Click Add Device. For a PC, IZI walks you through a three-step pairing process:
- Download the IZI installer for Windows
- Install it on the gaming PC
- Generate a pairing code — valid for 4 hours. Enter this code in the installer to bind the machine to your club
After successful pairing the device appears in the list and is immediately available in the Control Center. Consoles are registered without installing a client — simply choose the type (Xbox or PlayStation), a name, and a zone. Consoles do not participate in screen locking or IZI Boot, but they are fully tracked in sessions, tariffs, and hall-load reports alongside PCs.
Editing a Device
Section titled “Editing a Device”Click any device in the list to open its edit panel. You can change:
- Name — numeric ID shown to staff in the Control Center
- Zone — reassign the device to a different zone
Device capabilities (PC only)
Section titled “Device capabilities (PC only)”Each PC card shows toggles that control machine behavior:
- Wake-on-LAN — power the PC on remotely over the club network without walking up to it. Requires router and network card support — see Wake-on-LAN for details. Requires an active paid add-on. If you try to enable the toggle without the add-on active, the CRM shows “Feature requires an active subscription” — enable the module under IZI Subscription.
- IZI Boot — boot Windows from network storage instead of the local drive. Available for PCs only (consoles and non-standard devices do not support this mode). Requires an active paid add-on. The same subscription message appears if the module is not active. Setup instructions: How to configure IZI Boot.
- Disk protection — enabled automatically for PCs that have the write-protection driver installed; not available for consoles or for PCs in diskless zones on network boot. Details: Disk Protection.
Whether a given toggle appears on a specific device depends on the device type and what that machine actually supports. If a toggle is not shown, the device cannot perform that function.
Zones group devices by physical or pricing area — for example, a VIP section, a standard floor, or a console corner. Zones are used in three places:
- Tariff pricing — apply different tariffs to different zones, so VIP seats can carry a higher rate without a separate tariff list
- Screensaver targeting — display different screensavers on machines in specific zones
- Hall session reports — filter revenue and usage data by zone to see which area drives the most play time
Manage zones in the Zones subsection within Devices.
Archive
Section titled “Archive”Archiving a device removes it from the Control Center — staff can no longer start sessions on it. The device’s historical session data is preserved; only its operational availability is disabled.
Archive a PC or console when you:
- Retire or replace a machine
- Take a station offline for maintenance for an extended period
- Need to hide a test device from the active floor
You can restore an archived device at any time if the machine comes back into service.
