Settings

DME Server Administration Reference In this panel section you can configure the settings of the individual device, if you need to override default or group settings. The settings shown are all the settings available on the device, as well as settings that are only available on the server.

When a new device connects to the server for the first time, it will be set to use the default settings (see the section Default settings). These settings can be changed here, and also on the physical device unless they are marked as locked in this window. Note also that you can change settings for multiple devices by selecting the devices in the Devices tab and clicking Batch update settings in the page menu. For more information, see Batch update settings.

As mentioned, the Settings panel section contains all possible settings for the current device. To the left is a list of groups of settings, arranged in up to four categories: E-mail and PIM, Preferences, Miscellaneous, and possibly Cost alerts (if the current device supports cost alerts). These groups and categories are made to make it easier to find each setting. The list is expanded by default, but you can collapse and expand each category by clicking the small triangle before the category name. The number of settings in each group is shown in parentheses after the group name.

Each of the settings groups contains a number of settings, which are shown in the settings table when you click the settings group. The settings table contains the following columns:

Change the settings as desired, and click Save to save the new settings. A dialog shows which settings you have changed, and asks you to confirm that you wish to save the settings and send them to the device at the next synchronization.

The available settings are described further in Appendix A: Device settings. See also View and apply settings for information about working with group settings.
