Notes

• The Network ID is a 3-character code, in uppercase, that identifies the network. You can enter any easily-memorable code as long as the same code is entered in other settings that refer to this Network. The network code cannot be changed once specified. The code is included in generated log files for reporting and analysis purposes.
• The Node setting is used in active-active clustered environments. Setting up a Messaging Gateway cluster is beyond the scope of this document
