If you click Yes, the Device Properties window opens, and you can add an Unnamed PING device to the central node database. If you click No, no new device will be added.

You can click this cursor in any open map window to add the appropriate device icon to the map; adding a device to a map automatically adds it to the central node database, and it displays on all appropriate list views.
