Destination Editor


The destination editor enables you to add host destinations that are not configured in the management database. For instance, you may have an AS/400 you want to use as a destination. Since this host is not configured via the management program, it will not be available as a valid destination unless you add it manually with the destination editor.
 
All products configured with the managment program will automatically appear in the destinations list, however, they will not be listed in the destinations editor window.
 

To Add a Destination

1.Click on the Destinations menu option from the global status window. If you are working on a Unix-based platform, you must open this window from the configuration editor's PU screen. This option is given when you open the Destination selection list
 
2.Click on the Add icon. The Destination dialog will open.
 
3.In the Destination Name text box, enter a name for the Host (up to eight characters).
 
4.Open the Address Type pull-down list and select the type of network on which the Host resides.
 
Note: If you select FrameRelay/BNN, you cannot enter a MAC address. This option is mainly used for IBM NCP 7.x Hosts.
 
5.If applicable, click inside the MAC Address field and enter the Host's MAC address. In most cases, the Destination SAP is left at 04. If the Host or Gateway's SAP has a different SAP, this field must reflect that value.
 
6.Click on OK.
 
7.Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each Host you want to add.
