Accessing Home Agent Service Manager
To access the Home Agent Service Manager, choose Mobile Wireless Center-CMX Service Managers > HA Service Manager. The Group Selection window appears.
Before you enable service-activation, you must categorize device entities into a logical group . You can download the service-activation configurations to all the devices in the group only after you select an HA device group. For information on how to proceed with group selection, see Selecting an HA Device Group. If you have just installed HA SM and are logging in for the first time, you must create a new group. For information, see Creating an HA Device Group.
