Stop if error occurred

Configure one device at a time

Select this if you want Distribution Manager to change the configuration of one device at a time. If you deselect this, Distribution Manager configures several devices simultaneously.

Show unchanged devices

Select this to display all devices defined in the database, even those devices whose QoS configurations have not changed since the last time the database was saved.
