Create 8275-416 Device

Use the 8275-416 Create Device task panel to create a record for an 8275 Model 416 in the Deployment Manager database. After creating the device, you will typically perform a Learn Configuration task to update the database with information about the device configuration.

To display the 8275-416 Create Device task panel, click Create device from the 8275-416 folder of the navigation tree.

After updating the information in the 8275-416 Create Device task panel, click Apply to start the job. Deployment Manager creates a device in the database based on the information you entered in the Main pane. In addition, an initial configuration is created for the device (version 0) and set to a status of Incomplete. Schedule a 8275-416 Learn Configuration task to create an Active configuration version based on the device.

You can display the help panel for this task panel by clicking Help.
