NOTE: When modeling a NetScreen-500, 5000 series, or ISG series security device,
you must configure the network module (slot) before physical interfaces appear in the
NSM UI. For details on defining the Ethernet card and slot, see Network and Security
Manager Configuring ScreenOS and IDP Devices Guide.
Double-click the device object to display the device configuration and begin configuring
the device as desired. For details on device configuration, see "Configuring Devices" on
page 185.
After you have created a device configuration for the undeployed device, you are ready
to activate the device and prompt it to connect to the management system. After that
device has made contact with NSM, you can install the configuration you created on the
device.

out-of-band method.
