Note Typically, a “gdp” (global data passing) user is created in each station
and assigned no security rights and no (blank) password. This user is
referenced in AddressBook entries in other stations.
• Password—Password for the user in the remote station. See the Note above.
• Confirm Password—Same password, repeated.
• Host Address—For a LAN connected host, this is the IP address
(recommended) or hostname for the remote station's host. You must also
specify the HTTP port of the remote station, if it has been changed from the
default port (80). For example:
10.10.8.21:8080
In the case of dialup access, you can either:
– leave this field blank
– type an alternate port number, in the form :<port_number>. For example,
if the remote station’s default HTTP has changed from the default to port
8080, you would type the following in the Host Address text box.
:8080
See also “Impact of Changing Default Niagara Ports,” page 6-18.
• Phone #—Phone number to dial into the remote host machine.
• Host User Name—Logon user name for the host machine. This is the same
user name you use to log in with the Admin Tool.
Note This user should have been granted dial-in permissions on the remote
host. For more information, see “Enabling Dial-in,” page 4-16.
• Host Password—Password for the user name above, to access the host
machine.
• Confirm Password—Same password, repeated.
• (Station Relationship)—Choose the description of the remote station's
relationship to this station. Typically this will be Supervisor, but it could be a
Peer of another JACE is acting as this JACE’s archive destination.
