Configure devices
If you are an administrator, you can use the Devices screen to verify available devices, check settings, set the device delivery priority for enabled personal devices, and enable and disable devices. You can also control and edit permissions to make certain device addresses available only to operators, or to end users, or to both roles.
Availability of delivery devices other than the AtHoc desktop software depends on the BlackBerry AtHoc edition and licensed delivery devices. Contact your BlackBerry AtHoc account manager for details.
