Eagle TX Series AMOS Based Terminal Server Technical Manual, Rev. 01
If you ftp transfer any new terminal drivers to the DSK0:[1,6], the
FLUTIL.LIT
utility needs to be run
before any change is made permanent. If you turn off the power to the terminal server without executing
the
FLUTIL
program, your changes will be lost.
FLASHCARD RECOVERY PLANNING
If the AC power fails in the middle of some critical operation, or if you accidentally corrupt your
Flashcard so that it is no longer bootable, you can recover, though care and pre-planning are essential.
The following procedure must be used to restore the Flashcard:
•
Follow the procedure described in the previous chapter to create an emergency boot data file using
the
FLUTIL
software utility.
•
After successfully creating the emergency boot data file, the file should be transferred to a host
computer's hard drive. If possible, it should be transferred to both an Alpha Microsystems host on the
network and to a personal computer attached to the network, so that ftp can be used to perform the
transfers.
ALPHANET CONSIDERATIONS
The
ALPNET.INI
allows the terminal server to be used as an AlphaNET installation using the (NDV)
AlphaNET network driver, with Alpha/TCP as well. There are eight serial port jobs and the Print spooler
defined.
If you wish to use this configuration, you must change the
TCP:CONFIG
file to comment out the LDV
and uncomment the NDV for use with this INI. This configuration allows TCP/IP both telnet session and
ftp sessions. Additionally, The NETSER job and VTSER job are available. You will also need to
configure AlphaNET for your installation, setting up the network numbers on each system. The default
network is 101 group 3 node 1, for the terminal server.
CUSTOMIZING NOTES
There is a sample
TMENU
program on the Flashcard which can be auto-executed through the
START1.JIN
command files. This menu can be used to allow the users to connect to the appropriate
hosts. To customize the names you will need to transfer the source file to your host and edit
TMENU.M68
and change the names in the MENU: section. Additionally, you should also change
ITEM1 through ITEM16 for the command you wish to execute. In our example we execute a
TELNET System_Name Telnet_port_#
Then this menu program will need to be assembled, and transferred back to the terminal server. Once this
has been tested, and works properly for your installation, run the
FLUTIL
program to program the
Flashcard.
