(up to eight devices per mux). Assigning fewer than 8 devices to a mux, allows you to distribute
your physical devices across more than the standard of 4, 8-port muxes providing more
flexibility than a standard configuration.
Device Profiles
The Device Profiles panel will be displayed if any cut devices are configured (LAN, coax or
ASCII). A given Device Profile contains customization parameters for all displays or printers
using it. The first panel of the profile allows one to specify the device type (display or printer).
A Device Profile may be shared by any or all devices of the same type.
A given device profile contains parameters for all types of device protocols. This allows the
profiles to be shared by all types of devices, regardless of the type of connection. If there are
fields in the profile which do not apply to a specific device using that profile, those fields will
be ignored.

Device Type
This field indicates whether devices that use the profile will be displays or printers. The value
chosen here determines the parameters that will be displayed on subsequent panels in the
profile. Storage Tek LMUs should use a profile defined as a display.
