ALTER DEVICE Command
The WAN subsystem ALTER DEVICE command changes the values of a data
communications subsystem object.
The ALTER DEVICE command changes only the specified attributes of the target
object. See the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual for detailed
information on this command.
The ALTER DEVICE command has the following syntax (you must specify one or more

Considerations
The default value for HIGHPIN is "ON" because HP expects that no one would ever
want a line handler to run at low pin. However, if you want to change this value to
"OFF" you must do so explicitly by issuing the following commands to SCF:
1-> abort line $lh01
2-> stop device $zzwan.#lh01
3-> alter device $zzwan.#lh01, highpin off
4-> start device $zzwan.#lh01
5-> start line $lh01
Note that in Step 1, you need to stop the line in order to stop the device, and in Step 2,
you need to stop the device in order to alter the device.
