Setting up the MVS TCP/IP Addresses

NV4IP is a browser and Host product. The browser can communicate with multiple Host Monitors. In order to establish initial communication, the browser must know about one Host Monitor. From this Host seed, the browser downloads the information about other Host Monitors known to that Host seed monitor.

Note:   You must specify one Host Monitor the first time you use NV4IP. Use the Add Host Definitions function in the Master module to do this. If there is not at least one Host Monitor specified, you will receive an error message when you attempt to access data from a Host.
