# Configure properties on a new device

To set-up a new device you need to know about all the device {term}`properties <property>`
and their values which must be configured to make the device work. You
need to have a description on the property which should indicate clearly
its use. Also you need to know about a specified default value.

When creating the device interface with Pogo a description and a default
value can be entered for every device property. This information is used
by the device installation wizard (available with Jive) to guide you
through the configuration.

When creating a new server start the wizard from the Tools menu ->
Server Wizard. It allows you to create a new device and to initialise it
property by property. For every property the description is displayed
and the default value can be viewed. To use the wizard on an already
existing device you can right click on the device and choose Device
Wizard. You will be guided again through all the properties of the
device. At the end the device can be re-started when necessary. Because
the wizard is part of Jive, you can test the device configuration
immediately.
