Vary on pending

Hello all,

We have just had an office move and we moved an old 3487 terminal which 
controls an even older label printer, now I cannot get the iSeries to recognise 
it. I have tried deleting the DEVD and recreating it. I deleted it again and 
tried letting AUTOCONFIG generate the device but it doesn't want to do that. Am 
I right in assuming that if I delete the device, physically disconnect it from 
the network, (it is connected to the network using one of those "balloon" 
things, which I know zilch about but am assured nothing can go wrong with 
them), then reconnect it and switch on then the iSeries will recognise a new 
device and create a description for it? Or is there something else I need to 
do? I know the terminal works because I connected it in the building here 
before lugging it across the road. I also swapped the network cable in its new 
home with the laser printer sat next to it, the laser printer still works. I 
also went thru the setup (hold Space bar down while switching on) to ensure the 
switches were set. PRTDEVADR also shows that the devices are there, in theory, 
so why won't they vary on?
