1. Assign meaningful names for your EAP devices (e.g. the name Measuring for machine M and the name Operating for Machine O) and confirm your entry with the [Add] button.
The created device nodes then represent the corresponding EAP devices of the two machines.

Once all required device nodes have been created, open any device node by double-clicking. The graphical user interface opens, loads all device nodes that were created and displays them as EAP device objects (see illustration). Each EAP device object is shown as a box in column Publisher Area and in column Subscriber Area. In other words: An EAP device object is graphically represented by two boxes (see section Architecture).
