ZENworks® ESM 3.5 Administrator’s Manual 110
Communication Hardware Settings
Communication hardware controls by location which hardware types are permitted a connection
within this network environment. As it was previously determined whether to globally enable or
disable each setting, the default selection: Apply Global Setting will maintain the default setting
for the device. The default may be optionally enabled or disabled at this location, overriding the
global setting.
To access this control, open the Locations tab and click the Comm Hardware icon in the policy
tree on the left.
