Automatic Device Configuration (QAUTOCFG)

The Automatic Device Configuration (QAUTOCFG) system value automatically configures locally attached devices. The value specifies whether devices that are added to the system are configured automatically.

Note: This system value is a restricted value. See Security system values for details on how to restrict changes to security system values and a complete list of the restricted system values.

Table 1. Possible values for the QAUTOCFG system value:
0	Automatic configuration is off. You must configure manually any new local controllers or devices that you add to your system.
1	Automatic configuration is on. The system automatically configures any new local controllers or devices that you add to your system. The operator receives a message that indicates the changes to the system’s configuration.

Recommended value: When initiating system setup or when adding many new devices, the system value should be set to 1. At all other times the system value should be set at 0.
