Multihost is a legacy feature that has been superseded by Packet the
w/MAC feature. It should only be used in legacy systems or in special
use cases.
The Multihost Settings screen is used only when Packet w/MAC mode
is not selected. It provides an alternative way to run multiple host appli-
cations at the master unit, which may be operating on different com-
puters. Multihost operation is described in more detail in the SD
Serial/Telnet Management Supplement, Part No. 05-6193A01.
