Remote and Local Management of Client Settings
You can configure your client settings locally or remotely. With ViewSonic Device Manager, you can configure client
settings remotely through your local network. With ViewSonic Client Setup, client settings can be configured locally
on a specific client.
NOTE
• The ViewSonic Client Setup console is a built-in tool for almost all ViewSonic client
products. This tool allows you to congure client settings locally on clients.
Some client settings are only available locally on clients. You can configure those settings locally through the
ViewSonic Client Setup console. For a detailed list of client settings that are only locally available, please refer to
section “4.2 Client Settings at a Glance” on page 115.
Group Conguration and Individual Conguration
ViewSonic Device Manager enables you to apply a group configuration (profile), an individual configuration, or a
hybrid of both to a client to set up its operating environment. With ViewSonic Client Setup, you can also make a
desired individual configuration for a client.
NOTE
• A group conguration (prole) is a set of client settings shared by a set of clients.
• An individual conguration is a set of client settings applied only to a single client.
• A hybrid conguration is a mix of both group and individual conguration.
