Each site sets up as many Master and secondary administrative workstations as the site requires. The Master provides default parameters for the frequency and packet sizes settings. Since the Master performs configuration for NV4IP and parameters which may impact the network, access to the Master should be controlled.
The level of security used by NV4IP is determined by the option set in the CONFxxx member of the SAEDSLIB data set during installation. An installation may choose to use either the security authorization provided by NV4IP or a System Authorization Facility (SAF) product such as RACF, CA-ACF2 or CA-TopSecret. The default security level is NV4IP security authorization (SECURITY=0). The available options and their operation are described below:
