Step 3. Configure Network Nodes for NetBase
Note. If you are updating to a new version of NetBase, this step can be skipped.
Updating will not overwrite your current configuration files.
In order for NetBase to communicate to the other systems on the network, all systems must be
defined to each other. Additionally, the operating parameters and limits of each system must be
defined. This is accomplished using the
CONFIG subsystem in NBCTRL. All configuration must be
performed from the NetBase account. Some of the operating parameters should be configured
before running NetBase for the first time. Others may or may not need to be configured, depending
on the system. To get started, you will need to do the following:
_____
A.Assign a node number for each system being configured. Node numbers can be assigned
arbitrarily, however, once a number is assigned to a particular node, that number must
be used consistently for that node throughout the configuration for all nodes.
_____
B.Assign a System Name  it can be any name up to 8 characters long. This name will be
used in NetBase displays, reports, and commands. It is the internal NetBase name.
Example
We have two systems we want to configure for NetBase. We will assign node numbers 3 and 4 and
use their network node names for the system name:
Node # System Name
3 FOX
4 VIXEN
After the node numbers and names have been assigned, proceed to step 2.1 where a modify quick
and add node commands must be performed.
