Deleting Devices A device deleted from one device group removes it from all device
groups. The only way to re-add the device is to either re-import it or use
the Add Device dialog.
Active Selection The active selection within 3Com Network Administrator is always
highlighted in blue (this color may differ according to the windows
scheme currently being used). A non-active selection is always shown in
gray. The active selection may be contained within the device groups tree
or the device list, but never both at the same time.
Scheduled Tasks When 3Com Network Administrator is closed all currently scheduled
tasks are cancelled. When the application runs again the tasks will have
to be re-scheduled.
