Workstation ID Type
Click the type of workstation ID:
Name is the workstation name.
Address is the IP address. An IP Address specifies one server for a network address.
IP Subnet is the IP Subnet address. An IP Subnet address specifies several servers with the same network address. Subnetting enables host administrators to distribute the hostids for a given netid to several subnets. Without subnetting, an IP address is interpreted in two parts: netid + hostid (network + node). With subnetting, an IP address is interpreted in three parts: netid + subnetid + hostid (network + subnetwork + node). Subnetting is a mechanism for using some bits in the hostid as a subnetid.
IP Mask
If you select IP Subnet, you must specify the IP Mask as well. The IP Mask refers to the netid + subnetid. You must know the IP Mask. For example, an IP Mask might be: "255.255.248.0."

Allow access to both workstation and user resources
Select this option to allow users logged on to this computer to see the LUs assigned both to the workstation and to that user.
Allow access to workstation resources only
Selecting this option provides a higher degree of security by restricting resources available on this computer to the LUs assigned to this workstation. Users will not be able to access LUs assigned to them unless the LU is also assigned to the workstation. This feature will be useful for secure workstations, such as those used to print checks.
Allow access to Dynamically Created Remote APPC LUs
Select this check box to allow users access to remote APPC LU as they are created.
