Table 26 lists the fields and value ranges used to datafill an EIU in table

EXNDINV.

While table 26 provides all the information you need to datafill for EIUs, complete information on table EXNDINV is in DMS-100 Translations Guide, 297-xxxx-350.

External node key

 

 

This key field consists of subfields

 

 

ENPMTYPE and ENNODENO.

ENPMTYPE

EXND

External node peripheral module type

 

 

Enter the PM type as follows:

 

 

• EXND (external node)

 

 

Note: These nodes are defined for all

 

 

products. A product may define

 

 

additional types of nodes that are valid

 

 

only for that product.

ENNODENO

is the UNIX host name of the node,

 

 

however, this is not enforced.

ENADDR

vector of up to 2

 

elements

External node address

This field is a vector of addresses for the external node. Each element of the vector contains an address type and an address. For EIUs, the address is

IPADDRESS

ADDRTYPE

ENIP

Address type

 

 

If the external node is an Ethernet node

 

 

that has an IP address and responds to
