To access Device zProperties, from the left navigational menu, select Devices and then click the zProperties tab. You can also select any of the Device Classes and the zProperties tab to set zProperties anywhere in the Device hierarchy. To set zProperties for an individual Device, navigate to that device, open the page menu, select the More option and then the zProperties tab.
