    If you don't have a .cfg file for this type of device, connect the physical device to the D-NET bus, supply power to it, and set up the address to the one you want it to connect with.

    Next, use the FlexPendant or RSO to add a device of type DN_GENERIC, using the correct information for bus and address.

    This should allow the device to be detected and will create an entry in your eio.cfg with the default settings for the device.
