Meaning
Host name: This is the name used by the TNC in
the network. If you use a host-name server, you
must enter the Fully Qualified Host Name here. If
you leave this entry blank, the TNC will use the
so-called null authentication. If you work with null
authentication, the entries under UID, GID, DCM
and FCM will be ignored.
Internet address of server: Enter as four decimal
numbers separated by points (dotted-decimal
notation). Your network supervisor can give you
the internet address.
Datagram size for input [byte]: An entry of zero
means that the optimum transfer size as
indicated by the NFS server is used. Do not enter
any other input values unless you have
encountered throughput problems. Input range:
512 to 4096 bytes
Datagram size for output [byte]: An entry of zero
means that the optimum transfer size as
indicated by the NFS server is used. Do not enter
any other input values unless you have
encountered throughput problems. Input range:
512 to 4096 bytes
Timeout [ms]: A Remote Procedure Call that is
not answered by the NFS server is repeated after
expiration of the time defined here. The standard
value is 0 = 700. Do not enter a higher value
unless the datagrams are led through several
routers.
Hard mount (yes = 1 / no = 0): With a hard mount,
the Remote Procedure Call is repeated until an
answer is received from the NFS server. This has
the advantage that after a server crash you can
continue normal operation as soon as the server
is up again. Use a soft mount if the NFS server is
not always available.
TNC device name: The device name entered
here is displayed at the TNC in the program
management for the mounted network.
