The Devices tab allows you to manage configuration changes for WX
switches in the network plan.
To access the Devices tab, do one of the following:
Select the Devices tool bar option.
In the Alerts panel, click on Local Changes or Network Changes.
The managed switches and unmanaged switches are listed separately.
Managed switches can be deployed to the network and can be
monitored by 3WXM Services. Unmanaged switches can be configured in
3WXM but cannot be deployed to the network or monitored by 3WXM
Services. (See "Enabling or Disabling Management of a Switch by
3WXM" on page 359.)
