The Host Circuit panel is used to associate a Control Unit definition to the LINCS resources
assigned to it (sessions). One Host Circuit panel must be defined, for each Control Unit
definition on the host. Later in the configuration, device sessions will be assigned to this Host
Circuit. A description of the fields found on the Host Circuit panel can be found below.
Line
Toggle this field to indicate the ESX card, through which your host circuit will attach. If you
are using more than one ESX card in the SCON-3074, you must toggle to indicate which card
(for example: ESX1 or ESX2).
Host Identifier
This is an optional 16 byte field which can be used to identify the host circuit for configuration
purposes. If no Host Identifier is defined, the host circuit characters, 00-5F, will appear on the
panels which display host circuits. Valid characters for the Host Identifier are alphanumeric,
. (period), - (dash), and _ (underscore).
CU Index
The CU Index parameter identifies which (ESCON) Control Unit image this Host Circuit is
to be associated with. The CU Index must have been previously defined on the Line Options
panel for the ESX card.
