APP Server utility

APP Server installation and setup

C-2 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide

Then configure your Pipeline to communicate with the APP Server utility. The

steps to do this are listed in “Configuring the Pipeline to use the APP server” on

page C-2.

APP Server installation and setup

The APP Server utility is provided for Macintosh, DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows

95, Windows NT, and UNIX. The utility is available from the Ascend FTP server.

The files can be found at ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/AppServer.

From this location, select the folder for your operating platform and download

the self-extracting archive.

Configuring the Pipeline to use the APP server

APP is a UDP protocol whose default port is 7001. The communication between

the Pipeline and the host running the APP Server may be unicast (when both the

Pipeline and the host have an IP address) or broadcast (when the host may not

have an IP address).

To set up the Pipeline to communicate with the APP Server utility, do the

following:

Open the Ethernet > Auth profile.

Set the APP Server parameter to Yes.

APP Server=Yes

This enables the Pipeline to communicate password challenges to the host

running the APP Server utility.

Specify the IP address of the host (that is, the computer) running the APP

Server utility.

For example:

APP Host=10.65.212.1

If the host obtains its address at boot time from a BOOTP or DHCP server,

or if it has no IP address, you can specify the IP broadcast address in this

parameter (255.255.255.255).

Specify the UDP port to use for communicating with the host running the

APP Server.
