The DevCLI Utility
EPICenter Concepts and Solutions Guide 181
These commands support a set of options for specifying device information such as passwords and
community strings, device group information such as device group names and member devices, as well as
information about the EPICenter server, such as host name or IP address, port, and user name and
password. You can also specify multiple IP addresses in a file to have them added or removed as a group,
as long as they all use the same user name, password, and community strings.
Table 6 specifies the options you can use with these commands:
Options such as the user login names and passwords and community strings, apply to all devices specified
in the command. You can specify multiple devices in one command as long as they use the same options.
If you have devices with different access parameters, you must add or delete them in separate commands.
The exception is when removing devices or device groups, you do not need to specify community strings,
so you can remove multiple devices in a single command even it their community strings are different.
