Device Locks
This locking concept also applies to devices; the first user to request access to
data within a device gets read/write access, and any additional users that request
access to that same device’s data get read-only access.
Device locks can occur in the following NMS functional areas:
Administrative Password
Device Groups
Device Management
Device Options
Phone Directory
Reset Security Table
Security Download
Security Prompt Strings
Thresholds
NMS tells you that you have read-only access to a device by displaying (Read
Only) at the top of the window or dialog box.
Figure B-3 shows how the Phone Directory looks if you select a device whose
data is locked by another user.
