Use parent

This option of the General tab is active by default and ensures that consistent device configurations are used. If Use parent device configuration is selected, all other fields of the dialog are disabled: For the relevant device or OU, the device configuration is used that is displayed in the title bar (in the figure IT_Rome). This is where an administrator will normally make any configuration changes.

Dia setup

Note:

In some cases, it might be useful to disable the Use parent device configuration option temporarily.

For further information, see Blocking inheritance - independent device configuration.
