You must have Ingres Net installed on every machine in your replication scheme. Ingres Replicator uses Ingres Net to communicate between databases on different installations and different machines. Each database that is in a different database installation must have an Ingres Net entry. For detailed instructions on installing Ingres Net and creating connection data entries, see the Connectivity Guide.

Make a note of the Ingres Net virtual node name, which you need when you fill out the Database Worksheet.

Ingres Net allows you to control authorization to databases. For a discussion on how Ingres Net ensures security on your system, see Security for Replicator.
