Use the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to
add new Data Capture and Delivery device configuration groups to your
network topology definition. You also associate each device configuration group with
a category to further distinguish devices. Categories include printers, logical
printers, readers, and simulated readers.
About this task
Devices in the
WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console are
logical representations of the physical devices installed in your network.
First you define the device
configuration group and
indicate the category. Then, you select the agent to associate with that device
configuration group. Only one
agent is associated with a device
configuration group,
and you can associate multiple PIDs with an agent.
