Adding Test Devices

Topic Last Modified: 2008-12-31

You can add a test device to the Device Update Service Management Console and then use this device to verify the functionality of new updates before deploying them to production devices. You can identify a test device by its Media Access Control (MAC) address or serial number. When you add a device, it appears in the list on the Test Devices tab of the Management Console.

To add a test device

1. In Device Update Service Management Console, click the Test Devices tab, and then click Add.

2. In Friendly name, type a name for the device.

3. In the Identifier type drop-down list, click either MAC Address or Serial Number.

4. In Identifier, type the MAC address or serial number, and then click OK.
