+
+{{< figure src="/attachments/workstation/wks-client-use1.png" class="no-border" >}}
+
+## Basic Information
+
+The top section of the Workstation Client shows the following information:
+
+* The name and ID of the workspace where the Client is registered
+* The ID of the computer where the Client is installed
+* The ID of the station created for this computer in Workstation Management
+* The date and time of the last update of this Workstation Client's configuration (for example, the list of devices associated with the Client)
+* The currently installed version of the Client
+
+## Devices
+
+The **Devices** section shows a list of all devices currently associated with the station through this Workstation Client. For each device, the section shows the availability, connection status, and any errors captured for this device. You can also expand each device to see more information about its connection parameters (for example, the host or port of a TCP/IP server).
+

+* **Management** - Selecting this option opens the **Workstation Management** portal in your browser.
+* **Logs** - This option shows the Workstation Client logs, which you can use to help you troubleshoot any issues. For more information, see [Troubleshooting the Workstation Client](/mendix-workstation/troubleshooting-workstation-client/).
+* **Diagnostics** - When [Developer Mode](/mendix-workstation/management-stations/#developer-mode) is enabled, you can select this option to view information about the available devices, credentials, station configuration, system info, and log levels, which you can use to help you troubleshoot any issues.

 ### Solution 
 
-First, verify you have a working internet connection. Then verify you can access [Workstation Management](https://workstation.home.mendix.com/) from your browser. If your browser cannot resolve that address, there may be an issue with your DNS server or configuration. On Windows, verify your DNS settings for your Ethernet or wireless LAN adapter using the command prompt and entering `ipconfig`. The command `nslookup www.mendix.com` provides further information about the IP address your DNS server resolved for the Mendix domain.
