   Redundancy Status	Whether the device is standalone or part of an HA pair.
   Software Version	The full software release version, including patch number of the NF HA device pair or standalone device.
   Platform	The device hardware platform.
   Device Configuration Version	The configuration version running on the device. This version number changes and increases each time the device configuration is modified.
   Loaded Configuration Version	This is the configuration version number that indicates the last uploaded version of the configuration from the device and stored in the database. This number changes each time a new configuration is fetched from the device.
   Last Operation	The last operation performed on the NF or its components.
   Status	The status of the last device operation.
   Status Change Time	The time of the last device operation.
   Pending Changes	The number of pending changes for the device.
   IP Address	The device IP address of the device. The IP address is displayed depending on the details added by the user in the Device Manager.
   Target Name	The device target name.
   Category	The element manager (EM) plug-in product vendor category.
   Product	The device product.
   Product Key	The device product key.

A copy of the configuration on a network function (NF) is loaded on the Oracle® Session Delivery Management Cloud (Oracle SDM Cloud) application database so that this configuration can be viewed, modified, and validated with minimal interaction with the NF. You must load the configuration to view the configuration and expand it in the navigation tree. After the configuration is loaded, you can check if the configuration copy in the database is current with the configuration version of the device. If the configuration version is not current, the Oracle SDM Cloud application retrieves the latest configuration from the device. This on-demand loading of a configuration ensures that the local copy of the configuration and the configuration on the device are always synchronized.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider, and select Devices.
2. In the Managed Devices table, expand the folder hierarchy, and click the NF folder to expand its device(s).
3. Click any device you want to load, and click Load.
   The NF configuration is loaded.

   Note:

   The time it takes to load a configuration depends on the number of configuration elements on the device. Larger configurations may take longer.

Use this task to configure a configuration element.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider, and click Devices.
   This renders the table with the list of devices managed by the Oracle® Session Delivery Management Cloud (Oracle SDM Cloud) (for example, the Managed Devices Table) which have previously been added to Configuration Manager. For information on adding a loading a configuration, see "Load the Configuration of a Local Device to Configure a Device".
2. In the Managed Devices Table, select a device and click Load.
   The load process ensures that a local copy of the device configuration is loaded into the Oracle SDM Cloud database, allowing configuration modification and validation on the most current device configuration. If successful, the navigation tree lists the configuration elements that can be configured for the selected device product, version, and platform.
   The selected device is loaded and shown.
3. In the navigation panel, click the configuration element to edit.
   This renders the possible configuration attributes for the configuration element in the main body. If the attribute is a multi-instance value, the Oracle SDM Cloud displays a table and if it is a scalar value, a label and text box. Tool tips and additional attribute information hints are also provided.
4. Target an attribute and create, update, or delete content as needed.
5. Click Apply to complete your changes.
   This stores the updates to your own personal configuration workspace on Oracle SDM Cloud. Other users cannot see your changes until you perform an update to the device. For information on updating a device, see "Update a Device Configuration".
