With the device now established you must configure the specific global TLP Definitions associated with the device, create TLP Templates and TLP Poll Groups to use.  

Specifying TLP Definitions for a Device

With the device now established the specific global TLP templates that are appropriate for this device must be associated with it.  Do so by clicking the 'More' drop-down button and selecting 'TLP Definitions' as shown below.

You should now see an empty list of TLP definitions (unless you used the "Add All TLP Definitions" setting).

Click the 'Add Row' link that is shown below.  This will show a new TLP definition with a select box to allow you to select which global TLP definition you want to associate with this device.  Add as many as are appropriate for your device as shown below.

When complete, save the list and you will be taken back to the Devices list.

Creating TLP Templates for a Device

With the TLP definitions now defined for this device we can create some TLP templates to allow creation of TLP poll groups.  To create a TLP template, click on the 'More' drop-down menu and select 'TLP Templates' as shown below.

To add a TLP template, click the 'Add Row' link shown below.

Give the new TLP template a name that makes sense and then click the 'Edit TLP Template Contents' link next to the name field shown below.

The TLPs available to be added are based on the TLP definitions that have been made available to this specific device.  Add as many templates that make sense to be grouped together in a logical group.  When complete you should see something similar to what is shown below.  Click the 'Save' button.

Creating TLP Poll Groups for a Device

With TLP templates already defined you can now create TLP poll groups which will poll a group of TLPs via a TLP template at a specific logical number at a specified rate.

Do so by selecting 'TLP Poll Groups' via the 'More' drop-down as shown below.

To add a TLP poll group, click the 'Add Row' link shown below.

Now you can give the new TLP poll group a name that makes sense. Then click the 'Edit TLP Poll Group Contents' link next to the name field shown below.

At this point you can create a poll group using one or more TLP templates as shown below.  The parameters that must be set here are:

When complete, click the 'Save' button to save the TLP poll group.

Create as many TLP poll groups as you'd like.  Once complete, click the 'Save' button at the bottom of the page below.
