LAN Status
The LAN Status pop-up window provides information on the status of the hosts
attached to the library system via LAN. Figure 78 shows the LAN Status pop-up
window.
Host Alias
This field lists the aliases of the LAN attached hosts. The alias for a host is
a nickname supplied by the customer for that host. If this field is blank, no
alias has been set up for this particular host.
Host Name
This field lists the names of all the hosts that are (LAN) configured with the
library system via LAN.
For TCP/IP hosts, the Host Name is the Hostname defined in the TCP/IP
network. In Figure 78, rs6000.tucson.com is a TCP/IP Hostname.
For APPC and APPC/VTAM hosts, the Host Name is a combination of the
Host Network ID and the Host Location Name. For example, if the Host
Network ID is USIBMSU, and the Host Location Name is S10A4045, then
the Host Name is USIBMSU.S10A4045.
Port The Library Manager assigns a LAN port number to each LAN attached
host. The LAN port number is displayed in this field as a hexadecimal
number, and is used by service personnel in problem determination.
Init This field indicates if the LAN port is initialized.
v
0 indicates the LAN is not initialized.
v
1 indicates the LAN is initialized.
