I/NET Configuration
After installing I/NET, you must configure it to communicate
properly with external devices. This chapter describes the proce-
dures necessary to configure I/NET.
You will need to provide information on any I/NET devices
connected to your serial port(s), on your TCP/IP connection, and
specify a printer port. Instructions are also provided to change
I/NET’s default directory structure, set up a filtering system for
messages, and configure NetPlus Routers (NPRs).
Overview
I/NET uses two different programs to handle communication and
system configuration.
I/O Server
handles all communication
between your workstation and other I/NET hosts or NetPlus
Routers.
Configure
is responsible for defining communication
parameters and certain system parameters.
I/O Server must be running for I/NET to communicate, and is
started automatically every time you start I/NET or Configure.
When I/O Server is running, one of two icons, shown in
will be loaded into your system tray. The first icon indicates the
workstation has a Tap connected to the serial port. If you are
communicating through the serial port, the icon flashes to indicate
when the I/O Server is transmitting or receiving data. If you do not
have a directly connected Tap, the second icon displays.
Within the Configure program you can set up serial port and
TCP/IP communication parameters, select a printer port, and alter
I/NET’s default directory structure. You also use Configure to setup
NetPlus Routers and define host masking for message routing
requirements from other hosts and NetPlus Routers (NPR).
