Configure properties on a new device

To set-up a new device you need to know about all the device properties and their values which must be configured to make the device work. You need to have a description on the property which should indicate clearly its use. Also you need to know about a specified default value.

When creating the device interface with Pogo a description and a default value can be entered for every device property. This information is used by the device installation wizard (available with Jive) to guide you through the configuration.

When creating a new server start the wizard from the Tools menu -> Server Wizard. It allows you to create a new device and to initialise it property by property. For every property the description is displayed and the default value can be viewed. To use the wizard on an already existing device you can right click on the device and choose Device Wizard. You will be guided again through all the properties of the device. At the end the device can be re-started when necessary. Because the wizard is part of Jive, you can test the device configuration immediately.
