Node Name
This field defines a unique name for this LINCS node. It is used as the Host Name by
the LPD protocol in a print request; it is the node requesting the print. If Node Name is
left blank, it will default to LINCS. (Note that this is not the node name information
returned by SNMP. That information is configured on the TCP/IP Options panel as
‘System Name’.)
Product Assistance Data
This field may contain up to 48 characters. You can use it to record the name and
telephone number of the person to contact for Customer Service. (Note that this
information is not provided to SNMP.)
Unique Machine Identifier
This field is used to identify the LINCS node to Netview via REQMS (Request
Maintenance Statistics), Alert, and VPD (Vital Product Data). It is recommended that
you use the hardware model’s serial number as the unique machine identifier. If the
serial number is not available or you prefer not to use it, you may enter your own
unique 7 character machine identifier. Valid characters include A-Z, 0-9, or spaces.
Supervisor Password
This field contains up to eight alphanumeric characters. It is used for supervisor functions
in LINCS Central Control, such as executing the Configuration Utility and performing
Media Management functions. This password is also used as the FTP password if any
of the network interfaces are configured for IP protocol.
