Method 2: Using Compatibility Mode
Configuring Workstation Network Interfaces (NIFs)
The Piccolo configuration file requires connectivity information; this information must
match what the application is specifying in RscSetOption function calls. Select the
appropriate protocol type from the items below and update the Piccolo configuration
file with the required connectivity options.
TCP/IP Transport with a Common Service Port
This section pertains to an RSC application using RscSetOption to set the
HOST_INET_ADDRESS and HOST_INET_ADDRESS_ALT options to specify a single
service port, possibly to multiple IP addresses.
Code Example:
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle,
"HOST_INET_ADDRESS", "12.3.45.6.2001",
0);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle,
"HOST_INET_ADDRESS", "12.3.45.7.2001",
0);
By default, the RSC layer will push only the IP address to the Piccolo layer; the RSC
layer will NOT push the service port number to the Piccolo layer. In order to continue
using the desired service port, add entries to both the client-side and host-side Piccolo
configuration files specifying the service port.
Piccolo Configuration File Example (hosts and clients):
[nif-tcpip1]
ProgramFile=nifsock
ServicePort=2001
TCP/IP Transport with Different Service Ports
This section pertains to an RSC application using RscSetOption to set the
HOST_INET_ADDRESS and HOST_INET_ADDRESS_ALT options to specify multiple
service ports, possibly to multiple IP addresses.
Code Example:
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle,
"HOST_INET_ADDRESS", "12.3.45.6.2001",
0);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle,
"HOST_INET_ADDRESS", "12.3.45.7.2002",
0);
By default, the RSC layer will push only the IP address to the Piccolo layer; the RSC
layer will NOT push the service port number to the Piccolo layer. If the service port has
significance to the existing RSC Classic installation — for example, if the service port is
