Dedicated devices are allocated to the server during the entire time the device is connected to the server. Devices can be defined explicitly by parameter DEVADDR, or implicitly by parameter DEVQTY. Devices can be connected (STARTed) or disconnected (STOPped) at any time using operator commands.

When using this mode, the number of devices available for the server is known. The response time for user requests can be predicted based on the server’s workload.
