Custom Files
Saving Crashes to a Dump File
If the Device Server should crash, you can save the crash information (dump) to a file that can be sent
to Technical Support for interpretation. This should probably be done only under the guidance of
Technical Support.
Downloading Terminal Definitions
You can create up to three custom terminal definitions and download them to the Device Server (if
you need a terminal definition that is not currently defined within the Device Server). It is important
that you remember which Device Server Terminal Definition you download your custom terminal
definition under.
For example, if you download a custom terminal definition as
Terminal Definition 2 , you must select
Terminal Type Term2 in the Line window to use that terminal definition.
See Creating Terminal Definition Files on page 43 for information on creating custom terminal
definitions.
