Using the MSS | Multihost Mode |
5.4.1 Configuring Multihost Mode
To conÞgure the MSS for multihost mode, Þrst set the MSS for a dedicated multihost connection using the Change Dedicated Hostlist command.
Figure 5-15: Setting the MSS for Multihost Mode
Local>> CHANGE DEDICATED HOSTLIST
NOTE: When a dedicated connection is enabled, local mode hotkeys for session manipulation are disabled.
Next, conÞgure the list of hosts with which to communicate using the Host Add command. The host list can include up to 12 host entries in any combination of LAT, SPX, Telnet, Rlogin, and UDP addresses. For more information about formatting host list entries, see the Host command on page
Figure 5-16: Adding Entries to the Host Table
Local>> HOST ADD LAT commserv
Local>> HOST ADD SPX sap_name
Local>> HOST ADD TCP 192.0.1.35:T
Local>> HOST ADD UDP 192.0.2.255
Local>> LOGOUT PORT 1
In the previous example, the UDP host entry is actually a broadcast IP address. Data would be sent to all hosts on that particular subnet.
NOTE: Any changes to the host table don't take effect until the port is logged out or the MSS is initialized.
To remove an entry from the host table, use the Show Hostlist command to Þnd out its entry number, and then use the Host Delete command.

Local>> SHOW HOSTLIST
Local>> HOST DELETE 2
Local>> LOGOUT PORT 1
