4.3 LAT Server Parameters
Two groups of LAT parameters can be specified in order for the ETS to communicate on the network: the
ETS’s identification information (its identification string and name) and network timers. In addition, a node
limit can be set if desired.
4.3.1 Server Identification
Select a short, unique and descriptive name for the ETS, as well as a more descriptive string to be used as
the identification string. The name may contain up to 16 characters and the identification string may contain
up to 40 characters.
Figure 4-4: Defining Server Name
Note:
If you change the ETS name, be sure to echo the change in any existing NetWare
print setups.
4.3.2 Network Timers
The LAT network timers (Circuit, Keepalive, and Multicast) as well as the Retransmit Limit are set to
default values at the factory and are correct for most networks. They should be changed only if you are sure
the change is necessary.

4.3.3 Node Limit
The Set/Define Server Node Limit command is used to set the number of remote LAT service nodes for
which the ETS will store information. This limit can be set in large network environments to keep ETS
network overhead down.
