Creating Commands
This section describes how to create commands, using the All Commands view. Associating a command data definition to a command is optional. For example, commands that contain subcommands do not need a command data definition. The Commands view tab in the All Command Data view lets you view the commands with which the current command data definition is associated. In Step 6 below, associating a profile with a command is optional. It can help you avoid collisions if the same device command is available in multiple drivers. NOTE: If you are implementing a custom communications driver, see also Configuring Communications List of Values Types.
To create commands

The name of the communications driver for the profile is displayed along with that of the profile.
