ADD DEVICE

This command defines a data communications subsystem object to the configuration

database. You configure one or more DEVICE objects depending on which data

communications subsystem you are configuring. The DEVICE objects might access

the SWAN concentrator.

•

When defining DEVICE objects that access the SWAN concentrator, the attributes

in the ADD DEVICE command that configure the SWAN concentrator are required.

•

When defining DEVICE objects that do not access the SWAN concentrator, the

attributes in the ADD DEVICE command that configure the SWAN concentrator are

not used.

•

When you use the LIKE option, only the TYPE parameter will be required. For

example, ADD DEVICE #newdev, LIKE $IPDC36, TYPE (63,00).

The ADD DEVICE command has this syntax:

devicename

is the name of the WAN line you want to add without the leading dollar sign ($) or a

name template. You can also use wild cards such as an asterisk (*), in any

combination (for example, $ZZWAN.#* and $ZZWAN.#S*) to select more than one

object matching the pattern.

cpu-num

is the processor number.

alt-cpu-num

is the alternate processor number.

objfilename

is the name of the object file containing the IOP executable object code that runs

on the NonStop operating system (OS).
