44 PCI ESCON Adapter Installation Guide
Updating Workstation Configurations
In most existing networks today it will not be necessary to update the TCP/IP
configuration on a workstation in order to allow it to connect to the mainframe using
an ESCON adapter and TCP/IP Direct Connect. Most workstations already point to
an existing router and/or server as a default gateway and that will be all that is
needed.
The one notable exception to that rule is a single segment LAN with no
gateways(Figure 5-27).
Figure 5-27. Simple Network with No Gateways.
In this situation it will be necessary to modify the TCP/IP Properties for all
workstations requiring access to the mainframe through TCP/IP Direct Connect.
Assuming the token-ring adapter in the server in Figure 5-27 is configured with an IP
address of 207.168.12.68, Figure 5-28 shows a sample Windows 95 TCP/IP
Properties configuration to access the mainframe through the gateway.
