Configuration Menu
The MAXserver displays the message "Type any key to continue”.

If you answer No (to the “Initialize configuration to defaults?” prompt) the MAXserver 1600
generates a series of prompts which are described in the following steps.
1.
The MAXserver 1600 prompts:
Load parameters from (NVS, Remote) [N]:
Valid answers to this prompt are N (NVS) and R (Remote). Enter ‘N’ if you want to load
parameters from the MAXserver's 1600 local Non-volatile storage. Select Remote if you want to
load parameters from a parameter server on the network, such as a VAX/VMS or UNIX host
system, or a Xyplex MAXserver Manager.
If you select Nonvolatile storage, go to Step 3. Otherwise, proceed to Step 2.
2. The MAXserver 1600 prompts:
Enable ALL methods for parameter loading (Y,N) [Y]?
Valid answers to this prompt are:
Y -- Use any parameter loading method: XMOP (Xyplex proprietary protocol), MOP (DEC
Maintenance Operations Protocol), BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol), RARP (Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol)
N -- Use specific method(s)).
a.
If you answer Y, proceed to Step 3.
b.
If you select N, the MAXserver 1600 prompts:
Toggle (XMOP, MOP, BOOTP, RARP) parameter load methods: []
Valid answers to this prompt are X (Xyplex Proprietary protocol), M (DEC MOP loader), B
(BOOTP) or R (RARP). You can select up to four parameter loading methods.
Selecting X enables the MAXserver to store and load parameters at a Xyplex MAXserver Manager.
Selecting M enables the MAXserver 1600 to store and load parameters via the DEC MOP loader
protocol. Selecting B enables the MAXserver 1600 to store and load parameters at a BOOTP/TFTP
host. Selecting R enables the MAXserver 1600 to store and load parameters via RARP/TFTP.
Select specific protocol(s) by removing letters from or adding letters to the brackets. To remove a
letter, type the letter and press <RETURN>. The prompt reappears; however, the letter you typed
does not appear within the brackets. To add a letter to those within the brackets, type the letter and
press <RETURN>. The prompt reappears and the letter you typed is included within the brackets.
