1  –  Parameter

 device-name

    Supplies the LAN controller device name. The device name has
    the form ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller
    designation, and u is the unit number. LAN devices are specified
    as the name of the template device which is unit 0. For example,
    the first DE435 Ethernet device is specified as EWA0, the second
    as EWB0.

    For example, you can specify a DEMNA controller as EXA, EXA0,
    or EXA0:. To select all LAN devices, omit the device name and
    include the /ALL qualifier.

    devices.

2.2    /CHARACTERISTICS

       /CHARACTERISTICS or /PARAMETERS

    Deletes device characteristics settings for the LAN device, such
    as speed, duplex mode, and other device parameters.

       /DLL or /MOPDLL

    Deletes MOP downline load settings for the LAN device.

2.4    /TRACE
