Managed Object Profile¶

Group settings applied to all devices assigned to the profile. The main part of the settings is related to Device Discovery and is common to all devices, configured only through the profile. Other settings duplicate device settings.

Settings¶

Located in Device Management (Service Activation) -> Settings (Setup) -> Managed Object Profiles (ManagedObjectProfile), grouped by tabs, depending on their purpose.
