Add Web Service Interface dialog

Use the Add Web Service Interface dialog to add a web service interface that is supported by the selected device type or device. A web service interface defines how a device and the Enterprise server communicate. For example, a device may need to support the interface that performs monitoring, but not the interface that performs scheduling.

NOTE: In general, the Questra IDM Application Suite manages the web services associated with devices automatically. In some cases, such as devices that are not connected to the Enterprise server, you may want to manually associate available services with a device type or individual device.
