• UI creation = virtual state

• OIM creation with IsVirtual set to false= virtual state

• OIM creation with IsVirtual set to true= new state

• UI discovery fails= not found state

When a device is in a managed state the following actions result in a change to a new state:

• Connection failure= virtual state

• Poll is down or comms failure = unreachable state
