   In either Device or Map View, select Configure > Device Types. The Device Types Library dialog appears.

2. In the Device Type Library, do one of the following:
   • Click New to configure a new device type.
   • Select a device type, then click Edit to reconfigure the selected device type.
   • Select a device type, then click Copy to make a duplicate of the selected device type.
   • Select a device type, then click Delete to remove it from the Device Type Library.
3. Click OK to save changes.

To change a device's type:

1. In Map View, right-click a device. The right-click menu appears.
2. Select Properties. The Device Properties dialog appears.
3. Select a new Device Type from the list on the right side of the dialog.
