Managing Devices
Use the Manage Device tab to manage discovered devices. When a device is managed, data supporting
the device is collected by WMS and maintained in the WMS database for use in other administration
and configuration activities. WMS still maintains a record of unmanaged devices within the Manage
Devices tab, but does not collect configuration information of behalf of the device.
To manage a device:
1 Select Device Management from the Administration menu.
2 Define devices to manage by selecting their corresponding checkboxes located on the left-hand side
of the Device Name.
By default, a checkbox is not selected for any device listed.
3 If necessary, use the Select All button to select and manage all of the devices listed. Selecting the
Deselect All option deletes their selection.
4 Select the Manage button.
