RSC/MP Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring the RSC/MP Transport (Piccolo) Optional Entries
The PIPECP STATUS LINKS command indicates which links are capable of
processing large messages. Within the ―ver‖ (version) column, a three-digit number
specifies the version of the Piccolo software that is running at the remote end of the
link. When executed on the host, PIPECP STATUS LINKS shows client version
information. When executed on the client, PIPECP STATUS LINKS shows host version
information. Immediately following the three digit version number, the letter L will be
shown for links across which large messages can be sent. The letter L indicates both
the client and the host are properly configured for large messages. The absence of the
letter L indicates that either the client or the host has not been successfully configured
for large-message support.
Optional Entries
Other optional entries can be given in the [PIPEMAN] section. These entities are listed
in the [PIPEMAN] configuration reference Configuration Options Reference on
page 5-19.
Creating the [RESOLVER] Section (optional, for
workstations only)
Use the [RESOLVER] section to allow a workstation to reach hosts that are not
reachable by name through yo ur network name resolution facilities.
You must use a Resolver section if:
1. Name Resolution Services are not available to your system.
2. Name Resolution Services are available but yo u want to override it to use a
specific address to identify a particular host.
3. You are using the NetBIOS transport to a NonS top (NBT).
In the preferred mode of operation, Piccolo relies upon your network name-resolution
facilities to reach an RSC/MP host by name. For example, a workstation running
TCP/IP might use Domain Name Services (DNS) to convert the name
myhost.mycompany.com into an IP address when connecting to the host.
You should use the [RESOLVER] section if:
Your network is not configured to provide DNS.
You need to override the DNS behavior.
You use a network protocol that doesn‘t support name resolution at all.
