# How to configure a device

For the proper functioning of the solution, a correct registration of the devices is essential. Discrepancies can affect the behavior of the software.

You have two ways to access the **Devices** configuration area. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. **Add new:** in the toolbar, ath the top of the Segura® platform, click **Add new** and select **Device**.
2. **Products Menu:** in the navigation bar, hover over the **Products menu** and select **Devices**.

In case you select the **second way**, you'll need to select **Devices** on the side menu. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Select, on the side menu, **Devices** to load the list of devices.
2. In the bottom-right corner, click on **+ Add**.

A screen will show the **Device** form with the data to be filled in to register a new device in the Segura® platform.

## How to configure devices

Fill in the following data to configure a new device:

### Information's tab

1. **Device name:** fill in with a name for internal use.
2. **IP, hostname, or URL:** fill in the address to which the device is registered and accessible.
3. **Device type:** select desired type.
4. **Vendor:** select relevant vendor.
5. **Product:** select device model.
6. **Site:** select the division/local this device belong to.
7. **Tags:** fill in the desired tags.

In the **Domain** session, select the desired domain.

Info

The fields **Device type**, **Vendor**, **Product**, and **Site** can be registered directly on the device enrollment screen if the entered value doesn't exist.

All device registration, modification, and inactivation operations are sent via `Syslog`.

Important

Changes and deactivations may affect access to devices and credentials.

### Connectivity's tab

1. **Network connector:** select the required network connector.
2. **Connectivity:** select the type of connection (HTTP, Telnet, VNC, etc.).
3. **Port:** fill in the port for communication.

Info

Connectivity tests are performed via TCP socket. It's possible to configure the platform to use the device with two applications and the same protocol, but you must configure different ports.

Important

When the default port is modified, the change is reflected only on the specific device being edited.

### Additional settings' tab

1. **Criticality:** select the degree of criticality (*High, Medium, or Low*).
2. **Remote session configuration:** add regular expressions to handle custom authentications.
3. Click the **Continue** button, and **Save**.

Info

It's recommended to use protocols with encryption support if possible.
