retrieved during the discovery process. You can view and configure the properties
for a single NJ240FX using this window. To configure multiple devices at one

NOTE: Discovered devices are automatically added to the default database.
This default database will open automatically when you launch the Central

each subnet you manage. To save a database file or open another database file,
select the Open Database or Save Database As option from the File menu.
