How to group IO-devices for ini-parameter?

Hi!

I have a bunch of new modnet-devices that require the citect.ini parameter [MODNET] LongDataType to be set, this of course won´t work with my existing MODNET devices why I have to assign the parameter uniquely to each new device.
However, I already have six entries and will end up with like 25.. A mess.

In the driver help you can read about grouping IO-devices and assigning the parameter to a group.
So I made a group in GROUPS.DBF testing both the IO-device name as well as the IO-device port name, and in citect.ini tried assigning it to the group. But it didn´t work of course.

I think that I either assign it wrong, or can´t assign it in GROUPS.DBF?

Anyone know the right way to do it?

Thanks for the reply!

No, it is not at all clear on how to create these groups! :)
But the technical note made it a bit clearer.

Although it wasn´t superclear that I just had to ADD the group name to the address field of the existing IO-device. Or maybe I misread.
That is however how I got it to compile, but now I can´t test it because of other external reasons. So testing is still waiting to be done.
