The Host property identifies the IP address
of the system providing the server functionality. The value can be set in the standard
four number notation (e.g. "128.41.1.3") or as symbolic alias name as defined in
the TCP/IP hosts file. On Unix systems, this file is located in the /etc
directory. On Windows systems the location varies depending on OS type and version. Each
line in the hosts file contains the numeric IP address and one or more
symbolic alias names. Once both set, the Host and Port
properties reduces the I/O scope to messages from that service in the communication space CommID (and - as always - to messages with the
same ID as defined by the InputID property). If Host
is not set, messages from any source that match InputID
will be received and output is forwarded to all UCM controls on the local system
that have their Service, Host and Port properties cleared too.
The Host property is meaningful only with AdrMode
set to ucmTCP. |
