Paradyne 6800 manual Configuring Full-Feature Workstation with a Router Network

Loading and Restoring Software

2.If configuring any Altos 15000 or customizing your network configuration for an Altos 5000, or connecting to an existing LAN, consult your Network Administrator for valid IP address information and perform the following steps:

TYPE: EDIT \XONE\HOSTS

PRESS: Enter

3.Add the IP address and NMS host processor name to the \XONE\HOSTS file in the format:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn host-name

Where: nnn is a number from 1 to 255 inclusive and host-nameis the name of the NMS host processor.

4.If the full-feature workstation is to communicate with a UIP, add the IP address and UIP name to the \XONE\HOSTS file in the format:

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn host-name

Where: nnn is a number from 1 to 255 inclusive and host-nameis the name of the NMS host processor.

NOTE

For the 15000 platform, the division of full-feature workstations among the three processors should be:

Host Uip-1 Uip-2

7 3 14

Configurations with lower numbers of full-feature workstations should retain equivalent ratios among the processors for best performance.

Configuring Full-Feature Workstation with a Router Network

Full-feature workstations can be configured and used over a LAN using routers. To configure full-feature workstations on such a LAN, you need the following information:

•IP address of the router port connected to the host or UIP and a name for that port

•IP address of the router port connected to the full-feature workstation and a name for that port

•IP address of the full-feature workstation and a name for the full-feature workstation

The names for the router ports and the full-feature workstation can be arbitrarily determined, but must be unique within the NMS.

Once you have the information above, perform the following steps:

1. Log on as root on the host or UIP, whichever is to connect to the full-feature workstation.
