This Natural profile parameter can be used to define an RPC default server address. It determines the server name, the server node, the logon indicator and the transport protocol. The default server address will be used only if no appropriate server is found in the service directory. For further information, see Specifying RPC Server Adresses in the Natural Remote Procedure Call (RPC) documentation.
To define a default server address, you specify up to 4 subparameters.
DFS is specified on the client side only.
