Configuring Advanced Machine Parameters and Properties

For conceptual information on all Advanced Machine Parameters, refer to Advanced Machine Configuration in the Concepts online help.

note

If the administrator assigns the TCP/IP address to the machine through the advanced configuration parameters in OpCon, the TCP/IP address must be static. If for any reason the TCP/IP address changes, SMANetCom will not able to communicate with the LSAM until the administrator updates the database.
