enter it correctly. If multiple users need to use the APP Server, the user can
include a name in this format:
password.username
(A password followed by a period, followed by the user name.)
To install the APP Server utility on a UNIX host:
1
Edit the Makefile appropriately for your operating system and compiler.
2
Compile the appsrvr source file (make).
3
Add a line to /etc/services assigning UDP port 7001 to the APP Server
utility.
If you can use the default UDP port 7001 (if it is not already assigned), add
this line to the /etc/services file to document that the port is now in use:
appServer<tab>7001/udp
If port 7001 is already assigned to a different application, you can use a
different port for the APP Server utility by adding a line such as this to the
services file:
appServer<tab>
nnn /udp
where nnn is the port number to be used. Make sure that the Pipeline
configuration agrees with this number.

If the UNIX host has an IP address, you can run the utility in unicast mode
by typing this command at the UNIX prompt:
./appsvr
When you run the utility in unicast mode, it transmits packets on the
specified UDP port with the source address set to its own IP address. When
the Pipeline receives those packets on the specified UDP port, it returns
packets to that IP address.
5
If the UNIX host does not have an IP address (for example, if it obtains its
address from a BOOTP or DHCP server), run the utility in broadcast mode
instead by typing this command:
./appsrvr –b
