Table 2-3 Overview of HPI-B Directories and Files on Node Blades (continued)

Directory	Description

/opt/motorola/bin	Contains precompiled example applications. They are controlled via
	the command line and can easily be identified through the prefix "hpi"
	in their names. Use the -h option to display supported command line
	parameters.

/opt/motorola/etc/bb	Contains configuration files used to configure HPI client libraries. See
s-hpib	for details.

2.3.2Configuring HPI Clients

Before running your client, you need to configure the multishelf library on the node where the client is to run. The configuration has to be done in the following configuration file: /opt/motorola/etc/bbs-hpib/bbs-hpibmultishelf.conf

Most of the entries should be left as they are. They have been set to values that are appropriate for most operations. The only settings that need to be adapted are those which are related to the HPI daemons that the multishelf library wishes to access. The following table shows the expected syntax of the related entries.

Table 2-4 Multishelf Library Configuration File - HPI Daemon Entries

Entry	Description

[Shelf<Domain Name>]	This indicates the start of the definition of an HPI daemon.
	The chosen domain name appears as name of the Shelf
	Management Resource and is used as Domain tag. See
	Shelf Management Resource on page 32.

Daemon=<IP address of HPI	This is the IP address used to access an HPI daemon.
daemon>
Port=<port number>	This is the port number. The HPI daemon uses 4743 as
	port.

Typically you will want to specify both HPI daemons in the shelf in the configuration file so that your application can establish a connection with the second HPI daemon in case the connection with the first HPI daemon fails.

The following table lists the IP addresses and ports of the HPI daemons in a Centellis 4620 shelf.

Table 2-5 IP Addresses/Ports of HPI Daemons in a Centellis 4620 Shelf

Location of HPI Daemon	IP Address	Port

Left ATCA-F120 in a shelf	192.168.21.1	4743

Right ATCA-F120 in a shelf	192.168.22.2	4743
