Service Manager allows you to configure listeners for
many different protocols. The following procedures describe the
steps required for creating a listener, using a file listener as
an example, and the steps required to assign a listener to an inlet.
After creating a listener, you must assign it to an Inlet, which
you then assign to a channel.
The inlet to which you want to add the listener must be created
before you assign a listener to it.
For more information on creating and configuring inlets and creating
and configuring channels, see the iWay Service Manager's User's
Guide.
