Web Manager Configuration Use the Web Manager Configuration service to limit access to the Netfinity Manager for Web to user-specified TCP/IP host or ranges of TCP/IP host addresses. Enable or disable the Netfinity Manager for Web and specify the TCP/IP port number to which the Netfinity Manager Web server functions. Delaying Netfinity Manager startup on OS/2 systems Note: OS/2 is not supported on the IBM Netfinity 4000R. However, the IBM Netfinity 4000R can be managed by an OS/2 system. In some cases, it might be necessary for you to delay the automatic startup of the Netfinity Manager Network Interface (NETFBASE.EXE) in order to allow other time-sensitive applications to start up correctly or to allow your system to fully configure itself prior to beginning network operations. NETFBASE.EXE includes a parameter (WAIT) that you can use to specify the number of seconds that NETFBASE.EXE will wait before starting. During Netfinity Manager installation, the Netfinity Network Interface object is placed in the Startup folder. To configure Netfinity Manager to wait a specified number of seconds before starting: 1. Shut down the Netfinity Manager Network Interface if it is running. 2. Open the Startup folder. 3. Using the right mouse button, click the Netfinity Network Interface object. This will open the Netfinity Network Interface context menu. 4. Click Settings to open the Netfinity Network Interface Settings notebook. 5. In the Parameters field type WAIT:x where x is the number of seconds that you want the Netfinity Manager Network Interface to wait before starting. 6. Close the Netfinity Network Interface Settings notebook. With the WAIT parameter set to x, whenever you start your system, the Netfinity Manager Network Interface will wait x seconds before starting. Note: This feature is available only on systems that are running OS/2. 64 Netfinity® 4000R User's Handbook

Delaying Netfinity Manager startup on OS/2 systems
Note:
OS/2 is not supported on the IBM Netfinity 4000R.
However, the IBM
Netfinity 4000R can be managed by an OS/2 system.
In some cases, it might be necessary for you to delay the automatic startup of the
Netfinity Manager Network Interface (NETFBASE.EXE) in order to allow other
time-sensitive applications to start up correctly or to allow your system to fully
configure itself prior to beginning network operations.
NETFBASE.EXE includes a
parameter (WAIT) that you can use to specify the number of seconds that
NETFBASE.EXE will wait before starting.
During Netfinity Manager installation, the Netfinity Network Interface object is
placed in the Startup folder.
To configure Netfinity Manager to wait a specified
number of seconds before starting:
1. Shut down the Netfinity Manager Network Interface if it is running.
2. Open the Startup folder.
3. Using the right mouse button, click the
Netfinity Network Interface
object.
This will open the Netfinity Network Interface context menu.
4. Click
Settings
to open the Netfinity Network Interface
Settings
notebook.
5. In the
Parameters
field type
WAIT:
x
where
x
is the number of seconds that you want the Netfinity Manager Network
Interface to wait before starting.
6. Close the Netfinity Network Interface
Settings
notebook.
With the WAIT parameter set to
x
, whenever you start your system, the Netfinity
Manager Network Interface will wait
x
seconds before starting.
