All devices tab

This tab enables you to assign or remove further BS2000 devices to or from the BS2000 VM on a cross-type basis. In other words the assignment or removal applies for sets of devices which are defined via MN lists, MN areas or MNs with wildcards.

The All devices tab lists all BS2000 devices which are currently assigned to the BS2000 VM.

The device mnemonic, device type and device usage are displayed for each assigned BS2000 device (Exclusive only for one BS2000 VM or Shared for more than one BS2000 VMs usable).
