Use the Device Communication page to define default settings for communicating with devices. These
settings mainly affect device inventory and policy discovery and configuration deployment. You can
override the transport settings for individual devices in the device properties for the device.
If you change the transport protocol settings, ensure that your devices are appropriately configured to
accept those types of connections.
