Managing the DECserver 90L
The DECserver 90L requires very little in the way of management. The
DECserver 90L does not use or require the configuration of group codes.
It requires that service ad timers be set to 60 seconds (the default) or
less. Reducing the interval for service ad time improves the response of
the DECserver 90L when making new connections. The DECserver 90L
can work with systems whose service ad timer interval is greater than 60
seconds if:
•
A LATmaster response is received.
•
The systems service ad happens to be received within 60 seconds.
The time required for the DECserver 90L to establish a connection can be
reduced to two seconds or less for any ‘‘service’’ by installing LATmaster
(V5.2) on any node in your network (see your system manager).
The DECserver 90L can be managed locally or from a remote device on
the network. Local management is done using a terminal connected to
one of the ports on the DECserver 90L. Remote management is done
using maintenance operations protocol (MOP) console carrier.
Managing the DECserver 90L includes:
•
Examining port and server parameters and network counters
•
Setting port parameters
•
Setting server name and zeroing counters
•
Security
–
Setting and clearing authorized mode
–
Enabling and disabling manager mode
–
Changing the password
