4: Server Configuration After powering up the Server for the first time, you will want to configure it for everyday use. Most of the parameters discussed in this chapter only need to be set once and can be left alone until a major change is needed. Please refer to the Glossary for more information about unfamiliar terms. Note: IP parameters must be specified before Telnet can be used, and an IP address must be configured before EZWebCon can be used. See your Installation Guide or the Set/Define Server IPaddress command on page 12-40 for instructions. After configuring server-wide parameters for your Server, proceed to Chapter 5 for port-specific configuration. In addition, be sure to read the appropriate host setup chapter(s) to configure your host machine(s) to take advantage of available Server features. 4.1 General Server Parameters 4.1.1 Enabling Incoming Connections By default, incoming LAT connections are disabled and incoming Telnet connections are enabled. To allow LAT users to log into the Server, you must enable incoming connections using the Set/Define Server Incoming command. The following command allows both LAT and Telnet users to log into the Server. Figure 4-1: Allowing Incoming Connections Local> DEFINE SERVER INCOMING BOTH Note: For full command syntax and options, see Set/Define Server Incoming on page 12-39. 4.1.2 Enabling Server-Wide Port Characteristics You can set up server-wide port characteristics, such as enabling locking and broadcasting and setting users session limits. The following commands allows port users to lock their ports, send broadcast messages to other ports, and set the maximum number of sessions per port to three. Figure 4-2: Defining Server Characteristics Local> DEFINE SERVER LOCK ENABLED BROADCAST ENABLED Local> DEFINE SERVER SESSION LIMIT 3 Individual port users can then lock their own ports as desired, send and receive broadcasts, and start up to three simultaneous sessions. For more information about port characteristics, see Chapter 5, Ports. 4-1
