Use the 2216 Create Device task panel to create a 2216 in the Deployment Manager database. After creating the device, you will typically perform a 2216 Learn Configuration task to update the database with information about the device configuration.
To display the 2216 Create Device task panel, click Create device from the 2216 folder of the navigation tree.
After updating the information in the 2216 Create Device task panel, click Apply to start the job. Deployment Manager creates a device in the database based on the information you entered in the Main pane. In addition, an initial configuration is created for the device (version 0) and set to a status of Incomplete. Schedule a 2216 Learn Configuration task to create an Active configuration version based on the 2216 device.
You can display the help panel for this task panel by clicking Help.
Use the Main pane to specify information about the device
to be created.
