NetBase for MPE Reference Guide

Installation/Update Procedures for NetBase
A-5
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.
To do Step 2:
_____ 2.1 Modify the parameters by entering the CONFIG subsystem in NBCTRL as follows:
:HELLO MGR.NETBASE
:RUN NBCTRL.PUB.NETBASE
NetBase Control Program [v.u.f] Update n (C) QUEST Software
1987
*> CONFIG
C> MODIFY QUICK
GLOBAL - Local Node Number......... [1] 3
GLOBAL - Maximum Local Users....... [0] 128
NFA - Maximum Remote Users......... [0] 256
NFA - Initial Server Allocation.... [0] 64
NFA - Server Initial Priority...... [CS]
SPOOL - Use S' and J' on incoming.. [Y]
DIR - Allow File Equates........... [N]
DIR - Allow Wildcards.............. [Y]
SHADOW - Flush Shadow File Posts... [N]
PASSWORD - User password...........
PASSWORD - Group password..........
PASSWORD - Account password........
The password parameters apply to the job that NBCTRL streams to start NetBase. The
default passwords are correct for the account, group and user as they are created by
NETACCT.JOB. If the default passwords are changed, the password parameters (shown
below) must be modified.
In this example, we are setting the Local Node Number = 3. This node will be
configured as Node 3 on all systems. The values that appear in brackets [ ] are the
defaults for each of the parameters.
