Shared Device Settings store the information used to access a device. By default, the information is collected from the first successful discovery for the device.  

Note: In further maintenance, the information can be changed via tuning live access or rediscovery unless you lock it.

 
The following table introduces the fields in Shared Device Settings:

Tip: The selected Front Server is synchronized with the device allocation changes in Shared Network Settings or API Server Manager.
