User Manual Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Configuring the DecisioNet System Environment 6-7

A unique number (1-99) is assigned to the CBS during RF

infrastructure installation as described in the CBS Installation section of

Chapter 3 in this guide. Whether you use a hostname or IP address is

determined by the type of Ethernet environment in your store.

Static IP Addressing

For stores that use static IP addressing, a block of addresses are

assigned to the site. Check with the local IT Administrator concerning

the network addressing scheme used in the store. Unique IP address

are selected from the site block to identify each CBS used at the site.

Dynamic IP Adressing

For sites that use a DHCP Server and use Auto DNS to dynamically

assign IP addresses, hostnames would be used to identify the CBSs

used at the site.

Setting CBS Parameters

Use an ASCII text editor as described earlier in this chapter to open the

DecisioNet CBS Configuation File (dncbsconfig.xml). The default

file looks as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE cbsconfig SYSTEM "dncbsconfig.dtd">

<cbs>

<hostname>ncrdnetnnnnnn.atlantaga.ncr.com</hostname>

</cbs>

</cbsconfig>

1. Depending on the number of CBSs that you have at your site, copy

and paste the outlined section of the file to create a <cbs> section for

each CBS.
