Device10 The following parameter requires a minimum of one device name and can include up to ten device names total: DeviceNames=Device1 [Device2 ... Device10] The following parameter requires a minimum of one device name and can include an infinite number of additional device names: DeviceNames=Device1 [Device2 ... ] iii iv About this guide Table
