Eagle TX Series AMOS Based Terminal Server Technical Manual, Rev. 01
AMPM ALPHAMICRO:450TX DSK0:
(for Eagle 450TX)
Where:
•
ALPHAMICRO is the company name defined in AMPM.TXT[7,0] on your
terminal server. You can substitute the name with an IP address. You can
also point to your own server by adding a definition line to AMPM.TXT file.
•
100TX or 450TX is the package directory file at the company server.
•
DSK0: is your local disk device where the updates need to be stored.
Since Alpha Micro has an ftp server, the most up-to-date TRMSRV.DIR file is always available so you
can update you terminal server with the standard release. The only thing to keep in mind is that the
customization of your operating environment will need to be applied to the terminal server configuration
files before you run the FLUTIL program.
Option #2 - Download Complete Image File Backup
You can also download a complete image of your flash disk via terminal server serial port 0 if you have
stored the flash disk image on a PC or the Alpha Micro host computer. It is unlikely that you will use this
procedure, since the process of downloading the entire 4 MB image file can take up to 2 hours, and
options 2 and 4 are much more efficient. In addition, if during the download process you encounter CRC
errors during the download process, you may not be able to complete this procedure in its entirety.
Option #3 - Replace the flashcard
This option requires a technician on site to open the unit and replace the AM703 flash card. Most likely
this will not be practical.
Defining The Terminal Server’s Parallel Port
The terminal server contains one parallel port, which is defined for you in all the INI files provided. If
you want to use the parallel port, you may want to verify that the following statements are included in the
INI file that you are using:
DEVTBL /EGP0
SYSTEM EGP.DVR[1,6]
In addition, the EGP.PIN file contains the following statement:
DEVICE=EGP0:
For information on printer initialization files and printer spoolers, see the System Operator’s Guide for
your version of AMOS. For information on constructing cables to connect a printer to a parallel port, see
Appendix A.
