To define I/NET communication parameters from a console
window
1 After logging into the Xenta 527-NPR, begin entering I/NET com-
munication parameters by typing inethost at the command
line.
The inethost command is only available from the console. The
parameters you define enable the Xenta 527-NPR to communicate
with other devices in the I/NET system.
2 Define an IP Address for each of up to eight reference hosts. If you
define less then eight reference hosts, set the unused fields to
“0.0.0.0”.
3 Assign a Link number (0–99) to the Xenta 527-NPR. Use the fol-
lowing guidelines when assigning the Link number:
• If the Xenta 527-NPR’s DLA feature will not be used, ensure
that you define a link number that is unique to this device
(that is, no other device on the I/NET network can use the
same link number).
• If necessary, you can use the same link number as one or more
other NPRs or Xenta 527-NPRs on the I/NET network by
enabling DLA in each device. In this case, use the Site param-
eter (described below) to assign each device a unique Site
address.
Note
I/NET host workstations do not provide the same distributed link
capabilities as DLA-enabled NPRs and Xenta 527/527-NPRs. You
cannot duplicate a host workstation’s link address in an NPR, Xenta
527/527-NPR, or any other device on the I/NET network.
