Defining a device

A device represents an actual device existing on the network, or directly connected to a station or equipment. All instances of a device type and sub-type combination must be defined as devices.

For example, a store that has five HP LaserJet 5P printers and four Zebra R140 printers has all the nine printers configured as devices.

One or more devices can be associated with equipment and/or a station.

For more information about associating a device with equipment, see "Setting Up an Equipment Device Association".

For more information about associating a device with a station, see "Setting Up a Station Device Association".

You can create a device, create a new device from an existing device, or modify or delete a device.
