Here, you can configure settings relating to the remote administration of the device using the Universal Management Suite (UMS).

The list can contain more than one UMS instance. If the device cannot contact a UMS Server under the hostname igelrmserver, and the DHCP option 224 is not set, the device will go through the entries in the list until it can contact a UMS Server successfully.
