Sample Device Page

Device Properties

The following table lists and describes the fields found under the Device page.

Parameter Description

Device ID

The unique identifier of an instance for this device. This free-form name must be unique in the DDS and the FAC. That is, it must be a name not used by any other communication device, import/export device, remote device, or facility. Valid characters are A-Z, 0-9, dash (-), underscore (_), and tilde (~). No spaces are allowed. 20 character maximum.

Note: Tilde (~) is a valid character for both devices and facilities, but its use is not recommended.

Enable Device

Check to enable or disable the device. The default setting is disabled. The device will automatically disable if an invalid configuration is detected. The device can be re-enabled after the invalid configuration is fixed.

Description

A free-form description of the device. 32 character maximum.

Max Log Records

The maximum number of transaction history records that can be maintained for the device. Each UIS command executed by the device will generate a single transaction log. If the device is setup for active monitoring, one transaction will be created whenever a new file is detected. If multiple files are detected at the same time, it will still result in one transaction.
