Summary of Internet-Related Commands
The following commands enable you to assign and view the values for Internet addressing that the
terminal server will use.
SHOW/LIST/MONITOR SERVER INTERNET CHARACTERISTICS - This command
displays the current settings for the internet-address, and related internet-address and
domain-name resolution characteristics.
Example:
Xyplex>> SHOW SERVER INTERNET CHARACTERISTICS
DEFINE/SET SERVER - These commands alter the settings for the internet-address, and
related internet-address and domain-name resolution characteristics. Use DEFINE
commands to change parameters in the permanent database and SET commands to change
parameters in the operational database. Alternatively, you can use only the DEFINE
command and re-initialize the terminal server.

internet-address consists of four numbers separated by

example of an internet-address is: 128.10.2.30. Default:

on this terminal server. Default: 255.255.255.255.
