11.4.5 DEVICE SETUP
More than one LPS-D device could be connected to the host machine on the physical link. But, at any given
time, ALPS-Link can communicate with a single device. It is possible that each of these devices are configured
with various communication parameters: for example, telephone number, baud rate, etc. ALPS-Link should be
setup with these details so that it can make proper connections with the devices. The Device Setup facilitates
updating ALPS-Link with this information. If you need to add a device or modify the existing communication
parameters of a device, Device Setup provides you the necessary interface.
