Approve New Devices from the Unapproved List

In practice

• MagicINFO identifies each display by its MAC address. Some models send their serial number late, minutes or even hours after first contact, and serials copied from labels often mix up O/0 and I/1, so match displays by MAC. See Finding a Device's MAC Address.
• A display that returns to a server that still holds its record skips Unapproved and goes back to its old group. If it is missing here, search Device > All for its MAC.
• An unapproved display cannot take commands, so approve it before you try to change its settings or server address.
