Configuring Target Device Types
By selecting the Config - Target device types menu option, the administrative user can configure
new target device types. A new target device type may be needed if a target SP does not work
properly with any of the default types. New target device types are defined using the parameters
and values described in Table 4.16 on page 49.
A new target device type may be configured in the following way on this screen.
• Start with one of the default types, and make modifications.
• Create a new target device template and then assign it to the SP.
One of the options is to change from Telnet to SSH as the connection protocol for communications
with the target device type, which is done by selecting ssh from the Protocol pull
-down menu.
