Host Alias

This ®eld lists the aliases of the LAN attached hosts. The alias for a host is a nickname supplied by the customer for that host. If this ®eld is blank, no alias has been set up for this particular host.

Host Name

This ®eld lists the names of all the hosts that are (LAN) con®gured with the library system via LAN.

For TCP/IP hosts, the Host Name is the Hostname de®ned in the TCP/IP network. In Figure 78, rs6000.tucson.com is a TCP/IP Hostname.

For APPC and APPC/VTAM hosts, the Host Name is a combination of the Host Network ID and the Host Location Name. For example, if the Host Network ID is USIBMSU, and the Host Location Name is S10A4045, then the Host Name is USIBMSU.S10A4045.

Port The Library Manager assigns a LAN port number to each LAN attached host. The LAN port number is displayed in this ®eld as a hexadecimal number, and is used by service personnel in problem determination.

Init This ®eld indicates if the LAN port is initialized.

v0 indicates the LAN is not initialized.

v1 indicates the LAN is initialized.
