RE: How do you find a resource name for a DEVD?

I erred.  It is actually a 2746 controller.  It has 14 active devices on it.
I am having trouble when configuring the 6th device on port 1.

I even tried deleting the device description and having it recreated on
another existing cat 5 data cable.  Invariably, a new device will be
created, but as soon as I sign on the new device, I have trouble with one
(or sometimes all) devices on the port.

I had a somewhat similar problem a year or so ago (again with an Andrew
multilplexor) and I the IBM support line clued me into duplicate resource
names issue.  I just do not remember the solution.

Bryan,

The resource name is a logical assumption, but I can't ever remember
experiencing any conflicts with resource names on terminals in fifteen
plus years of working with the midrange.

Here's a thought:

The 6050 controller will support only forty active devices, yet it has
forty-eight addresses available.  Is it possible that you are exceeding
this forty device limit?  If so, results could be unpredictable, but
definitely only forty of them could be active at one time.  The timing
of the error noted below would coincide with this theory.
