Each NetRunner is referred to as a node. Each node in the network must
have its own node number and node ID. There can be no duplicates in the
system. The node numbers and IDs (names) are used during all the configu
ration processes to identify which NetRunner you are configuring.
Node Syntax Information
Worksheets are provided in Appendix A for recording the node numbers
1
and
node IDs for the NetRunner units in your network.
Node Number Syntax
Node numbers may be 1 through 254. It is not
necessary to place 0s to hold spaces; the
number 1 is input as 1 and not 001. (The
default is 240.)
Node ID (Name) Syntax
Node names may be up to eight characters
long. Only alpha characters (az, AZ), numeric
characters (09), and the underbar symbol (_)
can be used. The first character must be an
alpha character. Names are not case sensitive;
therefore New_York, new_york, and
NEW_YORK are the same name. Spaces
cannot be used in node names. (The default is
!240.) It is recommended that the node ID be
kept short for ease of operation.

If you have an NMS module, the node number and node ID may be programmed by switches (refer to the
NMS Manual).
