Device profiles¶
Device profiles represent a combination of a firmware version, one or multiple software packages and one or multiple configuration files which can be deployed on a device. Based on device profiles, users can deploy a specific target configuration on devices by using bulk operations.
Each device profile entry shows the profile name and the selected device type(s), if any.
Click on a device profile name to view its details.
The “Name and device type” section shows the name of the profile and optionally selected device types.
The sections below list the firmware version, software packages and configuration files for this particular device profile.

To add a device profile, proceed as follows:
-
Click “Add device” profile at the right of the top menu bar.
