PRIMESTATION as LAN Console
Operating the LAN Console
Trace level 0 is enabled by default. To set a different trace level - a maximum of
six levels are possible at present - this must be done separately for every
individual
rtty
monitor using the following
rtty
command:
rttyadm -T <
level
> lanconsole | lanconsole1
Error situations are logged in the basic level (trace level 0). The other trace
levels record additional information on the establishment and clearing down of
connections and other activities on the
rtty
monitor, including timeouts and
control of access to the RCA.
I
The extended trace mode (level > 0) should only be used briefly so that
the log file does not become too big.
5.7.2
Status information for the rtty monitor
The system uses the
sacadm
and
pmadm
tools to manage the
rtty
monitor.
These tools allow the state of the
rtty
monitor to be viewed and the monitor itself
to be manipulated - see the manpages for
sacadm
and
pmadm
.
5.7.3
Configuration entries for the LAN Console
When a configuration entry is created for the LAN Console with
mklancon
,
entries are generated in the
rtty
-specific
/etc/saf/lanconsole/_pmtab
or
/etc/saf/lanconsole1/_pmtab
file, depending on the type.
Under the specified console name, the
_pmtab
file contains information about
the device used, the system name and port number of the RCA as well as
internal
rtty
details of the type of connection.
If the configuration entry relates to the RCA3, the encrypted password is also
stored in the
/etc/saf/lanconsole/_shadow
file in addition to each console name to
control access to the RCA3.
This information on the configuration entries can be displayed with the
showlancon
command or the system tool
pmadm -l -p lanconsole
or
pmadm -l -p lanconsole1
.
The
mklancon
configuration tool also modifies the system files
/etc/uupc/Devices
and
/etc/uucp/Systems
.
