4. Define the Model

  • <product> model file.
  • Sample configuration file.
  • Model field definitions.

<product> model file

The <product>.model file defines the device models supported by a protocol. Each combination of protocol and model must be defined in a separate record.

Important: Model numbers must be unique across CIMPLICITY. If you have more than one protocol, you cannot re-use the same model number in different <product>.model ??files.

Application configuration uses this information during device configuration to generate the list of models that can be configured for a device executing on a port running the given protocol.

Sample Configuration File

To define a pair of models, Model A1 and Model A1-Plus that are valid for the SLP protocol, the entries would be as follows:

|-*
SLP|Model A1|500
SLP|Model A1-Plus|501

Model Field Definitions

The records in this file contain the following fields.

  • protocol_id
  • model
  • model_number
