IMSS can
act as a parent or child device. Parent and child devices compose
a group, where the parent provides central management services to
the child devices registered to it.
-
Parent: Manages child devices. If you are deploying a single IMSS device, select parent mode during setup so that all IMSS components are deployed.
-
Child: Managed by a single parent device and uses all global settings that you configure through the parent device’s management console.
A group refers to a parent device with at least
one child device registered to it.
