change to select a different EVS security context or to select the global configuration.
The EVS Security Context displays the currently selected EVS security context. Changes made to mappings using this page apply only to the currently selected EVS security context.
- If an EVS uses the Global configuration, any changes made to the global configuration settings will affect the EVS.
- If an EVS uses an Individual security context, changes made to the global configuration settings will not affect the EVS. To change the mappings of an EVS using an individual security context, you must select the EVS' individual security context to make changes, even if those settings are the same as the settings used by the global security context.
