AUN
transient utility
Sets a station number. This command is usually invoked by double-clicking on the
SetStation utility icon rather than from the command line.

[ station number]
Parameters
station_number
a station number in the range 2 - 254
Use
* set
station
sets a computer's AUN station number, 'storing it in non-volatile CMOS RAM so it is not lost
when the computer is switched off. If no number is specified then one is prompted for. If the new station number
i s invalid, then the current station number is preserved.
To prevent users from altering station numbers, this command does not form part of the standard AUN
applications. Instead, it is supplied as a separate program with Acorn's Level 4 File Server software. You can run
this program fiom the desktop by double-clicking on its icon; the prompt for the station number
i s then presented
i n a window.
The number is stored in the same location as is used by Econet to store station rumbers. If the station is connected
to both an AUN network and a native Econet, it will accordingly use the same station number for both types of
network. Altering the station number for one network will alter it for the other.
You can find out a station's current number by typing:
*netstat
at the command line (i.e. after pressing F12 to reach the * prompt).
Examples
*setstation 20
*setstation
New station number: 20
