F. Support for Changing Communication Settings
In JP1/Base, which is the prerequisite program for JP1/IM - Manager, the communication settings can be changed to support a variety of network configurations. This allows you to use JP1/IM - Manager even in network configurations that have special requirements, such as the following:
-
Specific communication network
The JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base hosts are connected to multiple LANs, but you require them to communicate over a specific LAN only (using IP addresses other than those associated with the host names).
-
Separate network
The JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base hosts are connected to multiple LANs, but you do not want them to communicate across LANs (they cannot communicate using the IP address associated with the destination host name).
To change the communication settings, use the JP1/Base jp1hosts definition file, jp1hosts2 definition file, and communication protocol settings file. For details on communication settings, see the description of JP1/Base communication settings for various network configurations in the JP1/Base User's Guide.
The following table describes the communication settings that can be entered in these two files for the functionality provided by JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/Base.
