For example, with the Virtual Device Service running, you can view the simulated device services as illustrated below:

The following device service properties are displayed:

  • Name. The name of the device service

Management of Device Services is limited to locking or unlocking.

Note

Device Services are automatically created upon deployment of their containers.
