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?
