The InfoConnect UDP FRAD Transport package consists of the UDP FRAD external interface library (EIL). This library enables PCs to communicate with a SHARES host via UDP.

Use this dialog box to specify the configuration settings for your host connection and customize the UDP FRAD path template to your environment.
Host Select the name of the EDS SHARES host you want to connect to. This option is available only when you are using EDS SHARES as your network.
IP Address If you are not using EDS SHARES, type the IP address for the host you are connecting to. If you are using EDS SHARES as your network, this field is filled automatically after you select a host. If you are using EDS SHARES and connecting to a print server, create a new Host entry and type the IP address of the print server.*
Delete Click this button to delete the host that currently appears in the Hostlist box.
Notify: 1 Select the primary host to receive an initialization message when the print server is active.
If you are using EDS SHARES and have selected a print server in the Host list box, you must identify at least one host to receive the initialization message.
Notify: 2 Select the secondary host to receive an initialization message when the print server is active.
every NN minutes Select the number of minutes to periodically send a reminder notification to the print host. The reminder contains the terminal address and is helpful should you lose connection with the print host. The default number of minutes is 30. Your situation will determine the how often the notification should be sent.
Network Select the type of network you use: EDS SHARES, System One, or Amadeus.

Note

If you use EDS SHARES and have selected a print server in the Hostlist box, you must identify at least one host to receive the initialization message.
