Chapter 16 Using the Administrator User Interface
Device Management
Some instructions cannot be automatically regenerated because the Cisco BAC system cannot determine
if the change impacts device instructions. In such cases, you must manually regenerate instructions by
using the
generationConfiguration() method or the administrator user interface. Instructions that
must be manually regenerated are those that become necessary whenever:
• A technology default is changed.
• The system defaults are changed.
Note Regardless of how instructions are regenerated, they are not propagated to the devices until the device
configuration is activated, that is, the device contacts the DPE either on schedule or as a result of a
connection request initiated from the DPE.
Relating and Unrelating Devices
You can define any number of arbitrary groups. The Relate function lets you associate a device to a
specific group, which is in turn associated with a specific group type.
Relating a Device to a Group
Note You can relate devices to groups only one by one using the administrator user interface.
To relate a device to a group:
Step 1 From the Manage Devices page, locate the device which you want to relate to a group. You can use one
of the search types for this purpose.
Step 2 Check the check box corresponding to the device Identifier, and click the Relate button.
The Relate Device to Group(s) page appears.
Step 3 Select the Group Type from the drop-down list and the Group(s) from the list of defined groups.
Note To select multiple groups from the Group list, press Control or Shift.
Step 4 Click Submit.
The Manage Devices page appears.

the device. On the Device Details page that appears, check the status against Related Group Name
(Group Type).
