Initiating and Terminating

Before initiating the interface software program, ensure that the following activities have been performed:

  1. Assign a TCP port number on the MCP host system for the interface software. Set this number as the value of the DEFAULT_SOCKET parameter in the configuration file on the MCP host system. See 3.2 for a complete description of the configuration file.

  2. Accept or change the default values in the configuration file. See 3.2.

  3. Use the values in the default filter file or update the file for your site. See 3.3 for a complete description of the filter file.
