4: Server Configuration
After powering up the ETS for the first time, you will want to configure it for everyday use. Most of the
parameters discussed in this chapter only need to be set once and can be left alone until a major change is
needed. Please refer to the Glossary for more information about unfamiliar terms.
Note:
IP parameters must be specified before Telnet can be used, and an IP address
must be configured before EZWebCon can be used. See your Installation Guide
or the Set/Define Server IPaddress command on page 12-69 for instructions.
After configuring server-wide parameters for your ETS, proceed to Chapter 5 for port-specific
configuration. In addition, be sure to read the appropriate host setup chapter(s) to configure your host
machine(s) to take advantage of available ETS features.
4.1 General Server Parameters
4.1.1 Enabling Incoming Connections
By default, incoming LAT connections are disabled and incoming Telnet connections are enabled. To allow
LAT users to log into the ETS, you must enable incoming connections using the Set/Define Server
Incoming command. The following command allows both LAT and Telnet users to log into the ETS.
Figure 4-1: Allowing Incoming Connections
Note:
For full command syntax and options, see Set/Define Server Incoming on page
12-68.
4.1.2 Enabling Server-Wide Port Characteristics
You can set up server-wide port characteristics, such as enabling locking and broadcasting and setting users
session limits. The following commands allows port users to lock their ports, send broadcast messages to
other ports, and set the maximum number of sessions per port to three.
Figure 4-2: Defining Server Characteristics
Individual port users can then lock their own ports as desired, send and receive broadcasts, and start up to
three simultaneous sessions. For more information about port characteristics, see Chapter 5, Ports.
