Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Using network startup parameters

To connect network clients, servers, and application servers, you might have to use a variety of startup parameters to establish and manage network communications among them. The requirements and use of these parameters vary on different operating systems and network environments. For more information of using startup parameters, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .

Client network parameters

Table 12–5 lists the parameters you use to supply OpenEdge clients with necessary network information.
