3. A
Reference Host
is any I/NET workstation or NetPlus
Router that will serve as a source of IP addresses. Any host
or NetPlus Router attached to an Ethernet LAN can be used
as a Reference Host.
Each time I/O Server is started on a workstation, it provides
the workstation’s IP address to each remote host designated
as a Reference Host. I/O Server also requests and receives a
list of all host IP addresses that are known to the remote host
at that time. I/O Server must be running on the remote host
for this address exchange to occur. I/O Server compiles and
maintains a list of all the remote hosts that it learns about.
Ultimately, all hosts in the network will know the IP
addresses of all the other hosts.
In order for your workstation to take advantage of TCP/IP
communication within I/NET, either one of the following
requirements must be met:
✧
Your workstation must reference at least one Reference
Host
– OR –
✧
Your workstation must be defined as a Reference Host on
at least one other workstation.
Your workstation can reference up to eight Reference Hosts.
