Adding and Deleting Devices. Describe Window.
Before you can manage a device, you must first define the device, provide parameters to
establish communication, and select an interface. Only the SUPERVISOR may add devices
and modify their attributes. Please note that you may add devices either manually or using
Autodiscovery function (see the Autodiscovery section later).

supply a name and address, specify communication type, enter polling durations, and SNMP
community names.
