# Device and pairing policy

Policy settings, combined with the device and pairing configurations, allow you to apply the optimal balance between company security requirements and usability for end users.

The **Device & Pairing** tab allows you to specify the requirements of the end user's device, and the **Pairing Conditions** section allows you to specify the conditions under which the pairing process should take place.

The **DEVICE & PAIRING** tab is found in **Setup → PingID → Device & Pairing**. It contains the following settings sections:

* **DEVICE REQUIREMENTS**

  The hardware, software, and configuration prerequisites of mobile devices that users must satisfy to perform PingID authentication and pairing.

* **PAIRING CONDITIONS**

  Configurations that define the relevant conditions to permit PingID device pairing. The pairing process is allowed only for accessing requests originating from the specified IP addresses.
