2.2.3. Host names
During Windows installation:
1. Type the computer name for the NETBIOS protocol so that the computer is
recognized on the LAN. The computer's name is not the same as the host name
used by TCP/IP. The host name is given during the TCP/IP protocol
configuration.
2. Read the computer's host name and IP address by typing: ipconfig /all in a
Command Prompt window. It is also possible to verify the settings from the
Network Tool in the Control Panel.
To be able to use host names in the communication front-end computers, the names
to be recognized have to be defined in a host table on the computer. The host table
maps the host name to an IP address. On most Windows systems it is at C:\Windows
\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts. An example of a HOSTS file is listed below:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
The following is an example of a host table. Here each node has two names, one in
lower case letters and one in upper case letters. The items in a host table are
separated by spaces or tabs.
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.58.125.45 apassi APASSI
10.58.125.46 ws1 WS1
10.58.125.47 ws2 WS2
10.58.125.48 fe1 FE1
There are, however, other mechanisms such as DNS that can be used. Consult your
network administrator for information on solutions applied to your network.
2.2.4. Configuring SYS 600 for LAN
In the base systems connected to a LAN, define a LIN object of LAN. One object is
enough for all LAN connections.
#CREATE LIN:V = LIST(- ;Link to other SYS or LAN frontend (requires TCP/IP)
LT = "LAN") ;Link type
#CREATE LIN1:B = %LIN
#CREATE NOD:V = LIST(- ;Node for LAN frontend or SYS
