Field Definition
Name Enter the host name of the CMS computer,
any switches that are networked with the
CMS computer, and any gateway hosts used
in the network. The node names can be
entered in any order. The names are
displayed in alphabetical order the next time
the form is displayed. The default node
name entry is display-only and is not used for
this application.
For consistency, use the CMS computer’s
host name as defined during the CMS Setup
procedure. See

CMS Software
Installation and Setup
for more information.
These names are also used in the IP
interfaces, data module, IP routing, and other
forms. If you change the node name in this
form, it is automatically updated on the other
forms.
Note: Do not use special characters in the
node name. Special characters are not
allowed in the /etc/hosts file on the CMS
computer.
IP Address Enter the IP address of the CMS computer,
the switches, and any required gateways.
CAUTION: Plan out the network before you
assign any IP addresses. Any future changes
that require a change to IP addresses will
cause a service disruption.
