The configuration of RX and TX settings is managed via an internal workflow reflected in the Status field in the Device Settings
screen. Valid values include: Waiting, Configuring, Configured, Failed, Retrieving, Failed_Retrieve and Idle.
Idle – State is pretty much unnoticeable. The appliance gets this state right after it is being managed. Then, after an XML file is
pushed to the appliance (as part of the managing process), it changes the state to Retrieving.
Once retrieve is successful, state changes to Configured. Otherwise, it changes to Failed_Retrieve.
When a device is managed, the workflow for the Status field is Retrieving, Configured.
The Configuration field is set to Unique.
You can change the settings of an individualdevice (to Unique, Template or System) via the Edit Settings option. The workflow for
the Status field here is: Waiting, Configuring, Configured | Failed.
If you Edit a Template, the updated template is applied to all devices that use that Template. The workflow for the Status field here
is: Waiting, Configuration, Configuring | Failed.
If you Edit the System Properties, the update System Property is applied to all devices that use the System Property. The workflow
for the Status field here is: Waiting, Configuring, Configured | Failed.
You can also apply Bulk updates to devices, e.g., you can apply a Template or System Properties to one or more devices at the same
time.
NOTE: Updates to Transmitter devices result in the device rebooting.
