Once you have entered the desired information in the General
window, click on other tabs on the device properties dialog box to
access other device information.

Enter Device Parameters

In this section, we describe the general parameters of the Device
Parameters dialog box and help you become familiar with the
parameters specific to DeviceLogix functionality. We do not describe
parameters that are device specific. The only parameters discussed in
detail are those that affect DeviceLogix features. For more information
on other parameters presented in this dialog box, refer to
documentation that comes with your specific device.

To access the Parameters dialog box, click on the Parameters tab.

IMPORTANT

If you are on line and you click on either the Device Parameters
or the DeviceLogix tab, you may be prompted to upload or
download the device. When you are on line, the dialog checks
the configuration in the device and compares it to the current
configuration. If the configurations are not the same, you must
upload or download the device to make the configurations the
same before you can make changes. If you need to make
changes without uploading or downloading, exit the dialog box,
go off line and re-enter the dialog box to make the desired
changes and save to a .dnt file.

IMPORTANT

For some products, the DeviceLogix parameters may appear on
the Configuration tab, as seen in the following illustration. You
can more easily access parameters that you use for device
configuration.
