Ports
Each column position corresponds to a Network Device port for the indicated line. To enable
a particular port for this Network Device definition, put a 1 in the column for that port. For
example, a 1 in the first column (00) corresponds to ETH1.000.
Ports in other LDDs
Each column position corresponds to a Network Device port for the indicated line. These
fields are protected, they show you which ports on this line are already assigned to another
Network Device Definition.
Note: You can define the same port to multiple Network Device Definitions only if the Device
Type is the same.
LSPool
LANSYS devices can request a connection to a single port, or any one of a pool of ports. You
can pool all the ports defined in this Network Device Definition by entering a name in the
LSPool field. Then LANSYS devices can request a LANSYS connection without worrying
about which port, if they create a matching LSPool DOS environment variable on their PCs.
They also must have the latest version of 1472/PC including the patches (dated at least 5-20-
94) in order to use LSPool.
By default, the LANSYS PC software will request connection to the LSPOOL named
LANSYS. A DOS environment variable does not need to be set up for that name.
If the LSPOOL name is left undefined, then the LANSYS workstations must request
connection to individual ports by name. This is done with the DOS environment variable
LSPORT. For example, the DOS command SET LSPORT=ETH1.008 would request
connection to device port ETH1.008, which it would get if the port is not already in use. The
LSPORT variable can be used to select a specific port, even if a pool is defined.
These variables are also used by the diagnostic PC program CHKLNK.EXE, which displays
which resource is being requested, and whether the connection can be made.
The LSPool name can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters, including period and underscore.
