Device Management
====================

You can manage, edit and remote control your devices under **Devices**. Your user needs to have the specific rights to 
do so though. Refer to :ref:`User Management` for more information.

Register Devices
*********************

On your **VT AIR device** go to **System → Portal** and click **Connect** next to **Portal Connection**.

Enter your Portal credentials (must be an admin account) and click **Save**. Should the Portal be 
reachable through a proxy you can enter its URL under **Proxy URL**. 

If you want to allow **Remote Access** on this device from the Portal you need to activate it here.

After successfully connecting to the Portal you can manage your backups through this page and through
the Portal too.

.. note::
    After connecting your device to the Portal you cannot delete it from the Portal even if you disconnect your device.
    By disconnecting your device you will loose the remote functionalities though.
    Please contact us if you need the device to be removed from your account through the Portal Support.

Manage Devices
******************

In your Portal you should now see a new device under **Devices**. Depending on your settings you can 
see basic information like the serial number, the device model and how long you'll receive updates for 
this device. 

You can also give it a human readable Note so that you know which specific device you're looking at. 
This is highly reccomended for setups with more than one device.

If you chose to activate **Remote Access** you can access the device's web GUI, the remote console 
and you can also remote update the device's software.

For further details see :ref:`Remote Access`.
