Adding or changing the server address


Once you have entered a Server Name, you need to modify the Server Address to complete the interfaces file entry.

To enter a Server Address

  1. Select a server entry in the Server box.

  2. Right-click the Server Address in the Attributes box.

  3. Choose Modify Attribute from the popup menu. A window appears, showing the current value of the address. If you have no address entered, the box is empty.

    The Network Address Attribute window, showing the Protocol Network Address box where the server address appears.
  4. Click Add. The Network Address for Protocol window appears.

  5. Select NLWNSCK from the Protocol list box (this is the TCP/IP protocol) and enter a value in the Network Address text box.

    The Input Network Address for Protocol dialog showing the network address for the NLWNSCK protocol.

    For TCP/IP addresses, use one of the following two forms:

    The address or computer name is separated from the port number by a comma.

Machine name 

A name (or an IP address) identifies the machine on which the server is running. On Windows operating systems, you can find the machine name in Network Settings, in the Control Panel.

If your client and server are on the same machine, you must still enter the machine name. In this case, you can use localhost to identify the current machine.

Port Number 

The port number you enter must match the port number you used to start the Adaptive Server Anywhere database server with, as described in Starting the database server as an Open Server. The default port number for Adaptive Server Anywhere servers is 2638. This number has been assigned to Adaptive Server Anywhere by the Internet Adapter Number Authority (IANA), and use of this port is recommended unless you have good reasons for explicitly using another port.

The following are valid server address entries:

elora,2638
123.85.234.029,2638
