Merge Offline and Online Devices
When you assign settings to an offline device that later comes online, you can merge the
offline and online devices and choose which settings persist. To merge settings, drag
and drop one device to the other in the inventory list.
Note: You cannot
merge two online devices or two offline devices.
When you merge device settings, you choose whether online or Wireless Workbench settings will prevail. To make selections for individual devices, expand the Detailed options pane.
- Online Device - Device settings overwrite the settings in Wireless Workbench.
- Wireless Workbench - The settings you've selected in Wireless Workbench will be deployed to the device.
Note: If you choose Ignore,
the device will keep its current settings, but you will not be able to use other remote
functions until you resolve the merge. Unresolved devices appear in italics in the
inventory.
You are prompted to merge device settings:
- When you drag and drop offline devices to online devices.
- When devices go offline and come back online with changed parameters.
- Any other time devices need to be merged, such as when you import an inventory file.
