Configuring Dual TCP/IP

Configuring Host Applications

8-7

Specify a second

LMUADDR

parameter to define the dual TCP/IPs. ELS

automatically determines whether the connection is dual TCP/IP or dual LMU.

Take the ACS offline, issue the

LMUPDEF

command, and bring the ACS back online

to pick up the revised

LMUPATH

statement that includes the second connection.

For more information, see the ELS documentation.
