Set up or edit devices and associate to specific properties. Devices include printers, workstations, key cutters, card readers, and chip and pin readers.

When setting up workstations as devices in order to include the Workstation ID in authorization requests or settlement requests, the property parameter CCWORKSTATIONID must also be enabled. See About MasterCard's lane identifier mandateandProperty parameters.
