RE: Vary on pending

Make sure the auto config system value is set to on.

Otherwise the system is not seeing the device.  Bad cabling, bad balun
("balloon" thing), maybe bad terminal, no plugged in correctly.

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?
