218 Resources
You can modify all default values. You can also set other values, including device-specific general
(name, description, location) and technical (IP address, vendor, model) information. You can also
set resource behavior and the resource icons. Note that the resource name must be unique.
NOTE:
Some discovery processes occur even after you click Finish in the discovery wizard. If you want to edit a

Click the Save button, or File -> Save after you have made any changes in these screens to preserve
