Stan,
All AW's and AP's are configured with 2 names, the "AW name", and the "WP
name". This is done in System Definition. The "WP name" of an AW/AP is
what the Alarm Alert system uses to send alarm messages to. You will see
the "WP name" for your AW51B's under "SHOW...Available WP's" in the ICC,
because the ICC reads /etc/wplns to build this list. There are other
reasons for the two names, but I can't recall what they are off hand.

Subject: Question about /etc/aplns and /etc/wplns
I have ben working on some scripts lately that do various
things on our
Foxboor nodes. All of the nodes, exceept for 1 consits of
one or more
AP51B's, and WP51B's. On these machines ehre are the files
/etc/wplns
and /etc/aplns. Thes files descibe what WP's and AP's exist
ont ehis
node.
I have just deplyed these cripts on a node thta consosits of
a AW51B,
and a WP51B. Mich to my suprise, I found thta /etc/wplns
contaied the
folowing entry:
AWP400
This is the WP, I think it's real name is AW0400. Can anyone
tell me
why this entry is there?
Thanks.
