Configuring HPI Clients
Before running your client, you need to configure the multishelf library on the node where the
client is to run. The configuration has to be done in the following configuration file:
client is to run. The configuration has to be done in the following configuration file:
/opt/motorola/etc/bbs-hpib/bbs-hpibmultishelf.conf
Most of the entries should be left as they are. They have been set to values that are appropriate
for most operations. The only settings that need to be adapted are those which are related to
the HPI daemons that the multishelf library wishes to access. The following table shows the
expected syntax of the related entries.

the HPI daemons that the multishelf library wishes to access. The following table shows the
expected syntax of the related entries.
Typically you will want to specify both HPI daemons in the shelf in the configuration file so that
your application can establish a connection with the second HPI daemon in case the connection
with the first HPI daemon fails.
