adds any new networked devices to those already in your inventory.
Common Management Tasks
The following are common tasks when you manage devices:
Change (or view) a device setting — Right-click a device in Resources and select Open.
The subsequent screens let you see and change device settings when you elect to save your
changes. You can also use the Detail panels to do this.
Create a group — Groups let you change settings on multiple devices. From Resources,
select listed devices (Ctrl+click to select several), and right click. Select Add to Group, to add
to an existing group, or New Group to create a new group with the selected devices.
Selecting Group Op lets you do things to the entire group of devices. See the NMS200 User
Guide for details.
