I do not recommend using Communication Device (cmdb_ci_comm) but using Communication Hardware instead. Communication Device has almost nothing you are looking for. No assets, no base Hardware class, no IMEI, no identification rules. That class is better used as something that just represents a phone number, not a physical device that you want to track as an asset. Communication Hardware extends the Hardware class, so you will automatically get an Asset record. plus you get IMEI and other benefits. Furthermore, for any devices on which you want to store anything regarding operating system or installed applications you should use Handheld Device, which extends Computer and inherits those capabilities.
