Network identification numbers

   

There are two different network identification numbers which are used within the LINCKS system. The first of these is the MONITORPROGNO, which is the RPC program number used for communication between the dbs process and the monitor process. The second, TCPIPNO, is the port at the server machine on which communication will take place with the workspace program xlincks. The first of these likely will never need to be changed. The default is 572662306, and your network administrator should be able to tell you if you must change it. The latter must be unique to the database. Our site uses numbers between 6000 and 6100, which should be safe. Again, your network administrator can confirm or deny this.
