Use the WebSphere® Sensor Events 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 Sensor Events 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.
