4. Configure Network Nodes
For NetBase to communicate to the other systems on the network, all systems must be
defined to each other. This is accomplished using the CONFIG subsystem in the
NBCTRL program. All configuration must be performed from the NETBASE account.
Now, each computer in the network, including the local computer being configured, must
be entered into the configuration. Some definitions:
• The System Name is an arbitrary name, and can be up to eight characters long. It is
referenced in NetBase displays, reports and commands.
• The Node Name must be the fully-qualified NS node name defined in your NS
network configuration. NetBase will not operate if the node name is incorrect.
To get started, select a node number for each computer being configured. Node
numbers can be assigned arbitrarily, however, once a number is assigned to a particular
node, that number should be used consistently for that node throughout the configuration
for all nodes.
On each system, you must first define the local node number.
C> M GLOBAL
GLOBAL - Local Node Number......... [20] 3
GLOBAL - Error Enhancements........ [IR]
GLOBAL - Maximum Local Users....... [32]
Assuming three computers (named FOX, BUNNY, and SQUIRREL) are involved, on
each computer, to add each node into the configuration:
C> ADD 3
System Name........................ FOX
Startup Access (S/I/O/A/W)......... [A]
Line Type (N/H).................... [N]
Node Name.......................... FOXTROT.QUEST.SOFTWARE
Node Connection Timeout............ [180]
Note: In the above example, node FOXTROT is the local node and has now been
assigned node number 3 and should continue to be defined as node 3 in the node
configuration on each system in the network.
C> ADD 1
System Name........................ SQUIRREL
Startup Access (S/I/O/A/W)......... [A]
Line Type (N/H).................... [N]
Node Name.......................... SQUIRREL.QUEST.SOFTWARE
Node Connection Timeout............ [180]
Note: Again, as in the previous example, node SQUIRREL should continue to be
defined as node 1 throughout the configurations for each system in the network.
