Device Definition Service

The Device Definition Service (DDS) stores remote device, communication device, and text import records. The DDS and UIS have a one-to-one relationship. As such, to add another instance of a DDS requires that you add another UIS. The services’ relationship is defined in each service’s configuration file.
