Configuring Device Options
Device options are resident in the device when it is installed in the network.
(Refer to the device’s installation/operations manual for a description of device
options.) Using Device Options commands, you can upload these device
options from a device, change the device options, then download the new device
options to the device through NMS.
You can also save device options to a User File, then download device options
from the User File to a single device or to multiple devices of the same model
type.
In addition, Device Options commands allow you to compare two device options
configurations for the same model type so you can view any differences between
them.
To view, compare, print, or change device options, upload or read device options
into the Edit Area of the input form. Use the Action commands (Table 4-2) to
complete configuration.
The Action menu, accessed from Device Options configuration, differs from other
configuration Action menus (compare Tables 4-1 and 4-2).
