Multiserver 5000

6.5 Name the Local Node

You will need to assign the local node a number and

name to differentiate it from remote nodes. Refer

to the worksheets you used in connection with

Chapter 3.0, Planning Your Network. Before

proceeding, please review:

Section 3.3 Nodes and Hubs

Section 3.4 Syntax for Node Numbers and IDs

Section 3.5 Default Node Numbers and

Node IDs

There are three ways that you can use to name the

local node: through the Command Facility, by

using the front-panel keypad, and by using an NMS

Module switch group.

OMMAND FACILITY CONFIGURATION

Begin by pressing <cr>.

Enter the Node ID number. Use 1 through 254.

(Number 1 is input as 1, not 001.) Press <cr>.

Enter the node’s name and press <cr>. The name

can be from one to eight uppercase or lowercase

characters. Any combination of alphanumeric

characters and underscore ( _ ) is allowed, except

that the first character must be an alphanumeric

character. No spaces are permitted. Node IDs are

not case-sensitive.

Node IDs should be as short as possible. The reason

for this is that the Multiserver will routinely prompt

you for a node ID or a node ID and channel

number during configuration. A shorter name will

help you get through the configuration process

faster.

If you attempt to configure a local node or a mux

link node with a number or name that has already

been assigned, one of the following appropriate

messages will be displayed:

**NODE NUMBER ALREADY IN USE**

**NODE ID ALREADY IN USE**
