Managing Individual Device Details

You can manage the following details for a device:

• The device name.
• A description of the device. You can use this to add comments about the device, for example backup details.
• Advanced settings, including:
  • The MAC address
  • The backup folder, either to not have a backup folder or to one of the current backup folders.
  • The software version.
  • The configuration template, either the default template or another templates defined in the portal.
