# Device Management ### Introduction Welcome to the Device Management documentation! This documentation provides detailed information and guidance on managing devices within your system. Whether you need to add new devices, update their activity, or perform device checks, this documentation will guide you through the necessary API routes and parameters. **Important Note:** If the value of `device_management` is set to 1, which means that the system is enabled. This configuration is obtained from the server at the endpoint `/api/base/configs`. The system will remain enabled until you explicitly disable it. On the other hand, if the value of `device_management` is anything other than 1, the system is considered disabled. To provide a seamless user experience, it is essential to handle the error message display only when the `device_banned` status code is received. In all other cases, no error code should impact the user experience. Prioritizing a smooth user interaction, ensure that unnecessary interruptions or error messages for non-banned devices are avoided. Furthermore, to maintain an uninterrupted user experience, it is recommended to verify that the device has an active internet connection before sending these requests. If the internet is not connected, refrain from sending these requests to prevent any adverse effects on the user experience. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
