The whole configuration (All the stations, all the link, all the associations, all the list) will be stored in a unique STATION.DAT file.

This STATION.DAT file will be modified (manually) and the modified version will be used on the client station of the Central.

 1^st Step : Stations & Associations

Create all Stations and all Association using Networking Wizard

2^nd Step : Links

By default, the Networking Wizard will create links between all the stations. It makes sense on a “small” architecture (e.g. 5 stations) but it has to be tuned for big systems in order to used only necessary connections.

In our case the links shall be the following:

A – Client Stations on Central: Only linked to Central Server Stations

B – Server Stations on Central: Linked with Central Client Stations & Site1 Server Stations

C – Server Stations on Site1:     Only linked with Site Station

C – Client Stations on Site1:      Only linked with Site1 Server Stations

3^rd Step : Lists

Variable configuration:

The variable definition is the same on all the station of the architecture.

For each variable list parameters have to be configured:

Server List: LSSITE1_ASSO9

Client List: Depends on what is needed, Wizard creates LGCLIENTS which contains all the stations.

List configuration:

Here is the particular point to handle 3 levels architecture.

On the Central Client Station, the LSSITE1_ASSO9 in the STATION.DAT has to be modified:

STATION.DAT

SSL_HEADER,LSSITE1_ASSO9,0,

SSL_ELT,LSSITE1_ASSO9,SITE1_ASSO9

Modified STATION.DAT

SSL_HEADER,LSSITE1_ASSO9,0,

SSL_ELT,LSSITE1_ASSO9, CENTRAL_ASSO10

The consequence of this modification is that any Central Client Station will subscribe to the Central Server Station instead of subscribing to the Site1 Server Station
