Auto-configuration of devices

How to set up your iSeries to auto-configure devices:
Issue the command:
This will determine the number of auto-configured Virtual Controllers on the
system.
Issue the command:
If the system value of QAUTOVRT is equal to the number of auto-configured
Virtual Controllers, the QAUTOVRT value should be increased by the number of
devices that will be configured.

Manual Configuration of Devices

This section describes how to create printer definitions on iSeries that have the
QAUTOVRT SYSVAL parameter set to 0. (Normally PrintGuide running the LinkCom
5 DCA setup will automatically have created the printing device)
Prerequisites:
 iSeries is configured and running TCP/IP
 iSeries PTF level is at the levels described in APAR II10918. Check IBM's
support page for a list of PTFs to be installed for the different versions of
iSeries for TN5250e printing support.
http://www.as400.ibm.com/clientaccess/caiixd1.htm
 Firmware level* on the interface is at least S80 xxx.360
Configure iSeries.
Start TCP/IP if not already started by typing STRTCP on the command line.
Method 1: Using the Command Line
Create the device from the Command Line by typing:
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(DEVXXXX) DEVCLS(*VRT) TYPE(3812) MODEL(1)
CTL(QVIRCD0001) FONT(87) TEXT('MANUAL CREATION OF VIRTUAL DEVICE
DEVXXXX')
The value for DEVD should match the Device Name assigned in PrintGuide.
The value of CTL should match the virtual controller on the system (Normally
QVIRCD0001)
The value for TEXT is optional.
