Next, select option 3 from the remote Command Facility menu.

COMMAND FACILITY MAIN MENU [!240]

3 CONFIGURE LOCAL NODES

It may seem to be a paradox to use the term “local node” when configuring the remote Multiserver. Remember that when the remote Multiserver’s Command Facility is accessed, in essence you are at the remote site working as a local user. Therefore, the Command Facility—and the work that you do within the Command Facility—is considered local to that Multiserver.

Select option 13, Node IDs, from the Configure Local Nodes Menu.

CONFIGURE LOCAL NODES [!240]

13 NODE IDS

NODE ID CONFIGURATION

1 LOCAL NODE

ENTER NODE-ID # [240]: 50

At the ENTER NODE-ID # [240] prompt, enter the node number. Press <cr> (refer to Section 3.4, Syntax for Node Numbers and IDs, to review syntax requirements).

ENTER NODE-ID (^X TO ABORT) [!240]: DENVER

Enter the node ID. Press <cr>.

**SELECT "Y" TO RESET SYSTEM WHEN NODE CHANGES MADE **

ENTER "Y" TO RESET "C" TO CONTINUE: Y

The unit will reset and you will be returned to the Command Facility on the local Multiserver.

(If you select C, your configuration will be placed into temporary storage so that you can continue to configure additional IDs. This should only be used if you will be configuring the IDs of feeder muxes that are attached to the remote Multiserver. Should you configure a node ID, press C, and then exit the Node ID Menu, your new configuration will be lost. The old node ID(s) will remain intact.)

Once the remote node is renamed, access the Command Facility of the remote node (explained above) to configure remote ports and/or remote feeder muxes (see Section 8.6 The Mux Link for more information on configuring feeder muxes).

Exit the remote Command Facility when finished (option 12). This will return you to the Command Facility Main Menu on the local Multiserver.
