An SDB term. Device/device refers to either a device/device monitor or a device/device monitoring group in the Security Database. An application places a device monitor on a specific device so it can receive an event report any time an event occurs at that device. For example, if the device receives an incoming call or originates an outgoing call, the application receives an event report. Device monitors are the most commonly used monitor. By default, all have this permission for the devices associated with their worktop.
