| Host IP address or domain name | Type the IP address of the Distributed Communications Processor (DCP) or Host LAN Controller (HLC), or type the domain name of the host (up to 63 characters). If the host is in a different domain that the PC, type the domain name of the host using the following syntax: hostname.domain.type where typeis the three-character type of the domain (such as com or edu). |

TCPIP-connection type
Click the option that indicates how to connect to the host.
| DCP - gateway mode | Select this if you use a Distributed Communications Processor (DCP) that can only accept host connection requests. Note: For most connections, select Host LAN Controller (HLC). The DCP settings only apply to Unisys systems that use front-end processor hardware to control connections. |
| DCP - IP router mode | Select this if you use a DCP that can accept host connection requests at other DCPs or HLCs. |
| HCL | Select this if you use a Host LAN Controller. |
