Removing a device

A device can be permanently removed from the system if it is no longer needed. Do not use this function for maintenance, or IP changes.

Before you begin

Attention: This function is intended for permanent device removals only. No recovery or data-restore mechanism can be performed after a device is removed from the system. After a device is removed from the database, it must be re-approved like a new device. Never use this function for device or network maintenance.

Procedure

Specify the user password and click Remove to delete this device from the system.
Note: A password prompt is not needed for users that are authenticating with an external certificate.
Attention: Any time a device is added or a vault, site, cabinet, or an administration configuration is changed, the Manager device must be backed up by navigating to Settings > Operations > Backup Manually . Permanent data loss can occur if the Manager database becomes corrupted. Periodic backups must also be performed to preserve historical statistics and log information. For details, click the Settings tab, and navigate to Operations > Backup Configuration.
