Node Level Parameters
The following parameters define specific information regarding each node in the network:
System Name
This is a node level parameter that is used to describe the node in NetBase displays, reports and
commands. The name can be up to eight characters long. For operational simplicity, it is
recommended that this be the same as the NS node name.
Default = none Required Parameter
Startup Access (S/I/O/A/W)
This parameter tells NetBase what kind of access to allow this node upon startup. Valid values are:
Value Description
S
Stopped
I
Incoming
O
Outgoing
A
All
W
Wait
It is recommended that this parameter be set to A. If it is not set to A or to W, the START command
must be used to change access for the node. If this parameter is set to W, the communication line to
this node will not be established until the first time a file on this node is accessed by another node.
Note. The Wait option requires that the SPOOL - Direction node parameter and the
SHADOW - Direction node parameter be set to N. This parameter must be set to W if the
SHADOW - Transfer Mode Only feature is to be used.
Default = A
