ALTER DEVICE Command
modifier-keyword [ modifier-value ]
modifier-keyword and modifier-value specify product-specific
characteristics for the DEVICE object. modifier-keyword specifies a keyword
defined in profile-name, and modifier-value specifies a string of
characters associated with the specified modifier-keyword.
PATH path-name
indicates which Ethernet path on the SWAN concentrator you prefer the device to
use. The possible values are A or B. A indicates the A Ethernet path. B indicates the
B Ethernet path.
RECSIZE | RSIZE max-rec-size
max-rec-size is supported by each DEVICE object. This value is returned by
the GET_DEVICE_INFO_ calls issued for the DEVICE once it has been started. If
you don’t provide a default value, the default in the PROFILE object is used.
RESET [ ( modifier-keyword [ modifier-keyword ... ] ) ]
resets the specified modifier (or modifiers) back to its default value. The parenthesis
are required if more than one modifier is specified. If no modifiers are specified,
then all modifiers are reset to their default values.
TYPE type , sub-type
indicates the NonStop Kernel registered type and subtype for the DEVICE object.
Considerations
•
You must stop the DEVICE object with the STOP DEVICE command before you
can alter it.
•
You must issue a START DEVICE command to start the DEVICE object, which
must start the data communications subsystem object before you can use it.
Example
The following example alters the modifier TIMEOUT to its default value:
-> ALTER DEVICE $ZZWAN.#ENV01, RESET TIMEOUT
The following example alters the BUFFER modifier from POOLED to DEDICATED:
-> ALTER DEVICE $ZZWAN.#ENV01, DEDICATED
