4.4.2 Configuration
During configuration the network-specific and application relevant parameters
of a node are activated in order to set it for a certain network and a specific
application. Network-specific parameters are, for instance, the node priority or
the decision about the utilisation of a data transmission service. Set point val-
ues or calibration values are application specific parameters. A node is config-
ured either by a pre-configured file from the data base or with the aid of a net-
work management tool.
4.4.3 Binding
The so-called binding is the linking process of a node with other nodes in the
network. This interlinking is physically achieved by the transmission of a net-
work management message containing the required address information to a
node to be integrated.
The following chapter: "Network communication" contains an example which
illustrates the binding between two nodes.
