A device must be installed and powered on before you can add it on the SMS. SMS must
have the
same or later version of the TOS that the managed device has. After you add a
device, it is under the exclusive control of the SMS. If you want to make any
local
configuration changes using the device CLI, you must unmanage the device first.
After you add a device to the SMS, you can unmanage and re-manage the device without
having to delete it on the SMS.
