Managing Device Settings

Summary

Device Settings templates control hardware behavior—display resolutions, power policies, Wi-Fi networks, syslog targets, and more—and are applied exactly like profiles to ensure uniform configurations :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.

Prerequisites

• Registered zTC devices/groups
• Parameters to standardize (e.g., timezone, NTP servers, USB filtering rules)

Procedure

1. Go to **Settings → Device Settings → Create New**.
2. Choose a category (Display, Audio, Input, Power, Date/Time, Wi-Fi, Syslog, SCEP, Proxy, USB Configurator, Universal Access).
3. Fill in fields—for example, set Sleep timeout under Power, configure SSID/password under Wi-Fi, or specify remote syslog server under Syslog.
4. Click **Save**; the template is listed under Device Settings.
5. Apply by selecting devices/groups → **Actions → Assign Settings** → choose template and confirm :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

Managing Templates

• Edit any template by clicking its name; changes take effect on next device check-in.
• Delete unused templates to declutter the list; existing assignments remain until explicitly changed.
