Chapter 1 Getting Started with Security Manager
Understanding Basic Security Manager Interface Features
Tools Menu (Configuration Manager)
The Tools menu in Configuration Manager contains commands that start tools that run in a window
separate from the Security Manager main interface. This enables you to access features without closing
the page from which you are currently working.

Device Properties Opens the Device Properties window, which provides general
information about the device, including credentials, the group the
device is assigned to, and policy object overrides. For more
information, see Understanding Device Properties, page 3-6.
Detect Out of Band Changes Analyzes devices to determine if their configurations have changed
since the last time Security Manager deployed configurations. You can
