Changing Device Description from 5219 to 3812

In order to change a device description it is necessary to delete the device description for the Twinax attached printer emulating 5219, and create a new description for a 3812 model 1. In the following we assume the name of the device to be PRTXXX.

1.First you must determine the controller number, the port number and the device address of the existing 5219 device. The following CL command will display the existing device description:

DSPDEVD PRTXXX

Press Enter to continue
F3=Exit	F11=Display keywords	F12=Cancel

Make a note of the Port Number (2), the Switch setting (3) and the

Attached controller (CTL01).

2.In order to make changes or delete the device description you must end the printer writer PRTXXX. The following command will end the writer immediately:

ENDWTR WTR(PRTXXX) OPTION(*IMMED)

3.Now you must vary off the device by the following command:

VRYCFG CFGOBJ(PRTXXX) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*OFF)

4.You are now able to delete the 5219 device description by this command:

DLTDEVD DEVD(PRTXXX)

5.Continue from step 5 in the previous section, but use the controller number, port and address settings from the old device description:
