═══ 1. Map Edit Options ═══

Map Edit Options 

The three options here will let you to edit nodes appearing on the map. 

Edit 

Select to edit servers or workstations. 

Sort by 

Select how you want the list to be sorted; by node name or address (the network 
cable address). 

View 

Select to view only the duplicate nodes, all nodes, or only those nodes on a 
particular cable segment.  If you choose cable you must enter the cable segment 
address. 

View - Displays the nodes based on the parameters entered. 

Save and Exit - Saves your changes and returns you to the opening menu. 

Cancel - Does not save your changes and returns you to the opening menu. 


═══ 2. Edit Nodes ═══

Edit Nodes 

Select a node by clicking once on the node box. 

Name - The name of the node. 

 Services - The services available on the server. Services include 

     FS = File  PS = Print AS = Access CS = Communication BTR = Btrieve RTR = 
     Routing SNA = SNA Gateway SQL = SQL INS = Instrumented 

 Addr Net - Network address. 

 State - The state of the node is either valid or invalid depending on when the 
     last response was received from the node. 

 Last resp - The date and time the console received a response from the node. 

 Node - The internal node number. 

 Validate - Validates an invalid node. 

 Invalidate - Invalidates a valid node. 

 Delete - Deletes a node from the map data file. 

 Exit - Accepts the changes and returns you to the previous menu. 


═══ 3. Edit Network Timeouts ═══

Edit Network Timeouts 

This window allows you to modify the IPX/SPX timeout values.  These values 
should be increased if your network is slow and/or if you have several router 
or bridge hops to cross. 

     Note - These values are tied very closely with the SPX protocol stack 
     timeouts.  The SPX protocol stack timeouts are modified by the NET.CFG 
     file. You will have the opportuninty to modify this file during the 
     "Requestor Initialization" part of installation. 

 Node configuration details timeout -This value sets the amount of time (in 
     seconds) that the console waits for a response from a  node.  This value 
     will take precedence (if it is lower) over the SPX requester  send, 
     listen, and verify timeouts. 

     Value range = 30 to 300 seconds. 

     Default = 30 seconds 

 Node offline detection timeout -This value sets the amout of time IPX waits to 
     detect an offline node. 

     Value range = 1 to 300 seconds. 

     Default = 5 seconds 

 Network Address and Timeout 

 You can set the IPX timeout value for individual cable segements.  Enter the 
 segment address and the timeout value you want. The value you enter here will 
 take priority over the Node offline detection timeout above, but only for that 
 particular cable segment. 


═══ 4. New Address and Timeout ═══

New Address and Timeout 

Enter the network (cable segment) address you want to set a timeout value for. 

Enter the timeout value in seconds. 


═══ 5. Map File Utility Options ═══

Map File Utility Options 

Three options are available: 

Edit map file 

Allows you to edit the nodes showing on the map. 

Edit network timeouts 

Allows you to change the IPX/SPX timeout values. 

Initialize map files 

This option executes the MAPINIT program.  This program inventories the network 
and creates a database of network resources (servers, workstations, and 
routers), from which the network map display is made.
