Device Configuration
In "Default" mapping, the controller defines the Twinax devices as "T" --
undetermined Twinax device types, and assigns them the master language.
The manual method is used to define individual devices with different characteristics
(device type, language, additional sessions) than those defined by default. To
define the devices using manual configuration, read the section below on Manual
Configuration.
Manual Device Configuation Procedure
Manual device configuration enables you to do the following:
a. Specify the device type.
b. Assign it a language other than the master language.
c. Assign it a session other than the default session.
d. Assign it up to three additional sessions.
Each Device field in the Twinax Adapter Map consists of two parts; device type and
Keyboard Country Code. The Keyboard Country Code field is not relevant if the device
is a printer.
To define the Device Type field
Place the cursor on the desired port address field and type in the appropriate letter
according to the following definitions:
Letter Definition
T undetermined Twinax device type
D display or display emulation
E display running a file transfer application
P printer
<space> = a device without a defined session
Entering space:
a. When the default session is free, then pressing <space> resets the device definition
to T” (undetermined).
b. When the default session is occupied by another device, then pressing <space>
leaves the present device without a session.
To define a device keyboard language
To define the device language as other than the Master KB language refer to the Device
Language Definition section.
To view the Twinax devices that are currently attached to your controller, press PF5 on
the keyboard. The system automatically identifies any Twinax devices connected to the
ports, maps them on to the adapter map and assigns them primary sessions in the
default LSIDs.
