Understanding Configurations

Configurations document and manage valid setups for assets and components. This includes a specification for each asset or component in the configuration as well as the valid value for each parameter, such as the firmware version of each asset.

Configurations are defined by the following:

• Configuration Type: The configuration type upon which the configuration is based
• Status: The current status of the configuration
• Configuration Detail: Specific information related to the configuration such as the assets and components involved, the firmware, characteristics, identifiers and other important information
