MSS User Guide 4: Configuration
4-17
Preferred Host
A default host for a port can be defined using the Change Port Preferred command. The
MSS attempts to use the preferred host for connections when no service name is
specified in a connection command.

Dedicated Host
A dedicated host can also be defined for a port using the Change Port Dedicated
command. A dedicated port automatically connects the user to the specified host; the
user cannot return to local mode on the MSS. When the connection is closed, the user is
automatically logged out of the MSS.

Environment strings can be added to the command to change connection characteristics.
See the Change Port Dedicated command in the MSS Reference Manual for more
information.
Note: Because dedicated connections leave no easy way to log into the MSS,
configuring both MSS serial ports for dedicated service is not recommended unless
incoming logins are enabled. Otherwise, only a Telnet console port connection is
possible.
802.11 Configuration
Note: The following section on wireless configuration applies only to the MSS-VIA.
The following parameters should be configured only if you are using the MSS-VIA for
802.11 wireless Ethernet networking and have installed a wireless LAN PC card into the
MSS PC card slot. In the United States, the MSS functions without further configuration
out of the box with its default 802.11 settings, and settings can be changed as needed.
For other countries, users must set the Region before 802.11 functionality will be
available. See 802.11 Region for more information.
This section assumes that you understand IEEE 802.11 concepts and architectures. If
you do not, please refer to the IEEE 802.11 Standard or the documentation that came
with your PC card or Access Point (AP).
Note: The MSS-VIA does not support PC card hot-swapping. After inserting a PC card
into the PC card slot, reboot the MSS.
The following acronyms are used in this section:
