You initially define the address of your MASTER machine in the address portion, which is the basis for a MACHINES section entry. All other parameters in the entry describe the machine specified by this address. You must set the address to the value printed by calling uname -n on UNIX systems. On Windows 2000 systems, see the Computer Name value in the Network Control Panel.

The LMID parameter is mandatory. It specifies a logical name used to designate the computer for which an address has just been provided. It may be any alphanumeric value, but it must be unique among other machines in the application.

Characteristics of the Address and the LMID Parameter

The address and machine ID have the following characteristics:

The address and machine ID are specified as follows:
```
address LMID=logical_machine_name
```
The address identifies the physical processor name.
The LMID is specified as follows:
LMID=logical_machine_name

The LMID is the logical machine name for a physical processor. It may be any alphanumeric string, but it must be unique within the MACHINES section.
