Setting the UNIX System

26 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
This chapter describes how to configure a UNIX host for operation with AXEL
TCP/IP Platine terminals.
The UNIX host configuration procedure, for the TCP/IP Platine terminal,
involves two major steps:
- setting network parameters,
- configuring the UNIX system.
On some UNIX systems, default settings may need adjustment (tuning), to
optimize performance with TCP/IP terminals.
3.1 - SETTING NETWORK PARAMETERS
This step modifies only one host file: /etc/hosts.
This file lists all the devices (host computers, terminals, printers, etc) which can
be linked to the host via the network. (It does not contain entries for any
terminals, printers or modems that are serially connected). There are two
parameters to define each device:
- an IP address, and
- a name.
Example:
192.1.1.200 vangogh
192.1.1.240 axel-1
192.1.1.241 axel-2
