terminal server. Your network must be up and running so the terminal server can be configured from a
BOOTPD server or using the new AMPM utility.
Downloading from a BOOTPD Server
The Alpha Micro host can be the BOOTPD server. The requirements are that if the host Alpha Micro
system is running AlphaTCP 1.4A, it must have BOOTPD.LIT 1.4a(101) or later and its corresponding
RTI file, and a BOOTPD. file which contains a BOOTP definition for the Terminal Server. The most
important information needed from the terminal server is the hardware MAC address. This address is six
two digit hex characters separated with dashes. During the normal boot of the terminal server you will
see this number twice, once when it initializes the Ethernet circuitry within the terminal server, and once
just after the TCPEMU job is defined. Once you have this number, you must substitute it into the
BOOTPD. file on your BOOTPD server. On this BOOTPD server, you must define the Terminal Server
IP address and the host name of the terminal server. You also define the nameserver IP and the gateway
IP.
The following commands should be entered at terminal server port 0:
1.
LOG VDK0:[1,2]
2.
ftp -bh {your alpha micro server ip}
3.
cd {host location where the trm4mb.img file is stored}
4.
get trm4mb.img
5.
bye
6.
LOG OPR:
7.
FLUTIL
Choose option 3 (Copy Image file to Flashcard)
Specify the complete file-spec.
VDK0:TRM4MB.IMG[1,2]
This file was created to a VDK disk with option 2 of FLUTIL. This file must be saved onto
a system near the terminal server that can ftp the file back to the terminal server during
emergency recovery.
8. RESET the terminal server.
9. Change CMOS alternate boot to NONE [ESC] Y
This whole procedure should take about 20-25 minutes.
Downloading Using the AMPM Utility
This procedure introduces a new capability, AMPM, which is only available to you if your Alpha Micro
host is running AlphaTCP version 1.5 or later. Consult the AlphaTCP 1.5 release notes and
Administrator’s manual for details of the AMPM utility.
You will need to set up and configure HTTPD and TAMED to be running. Additionally, you must create
an HTTPD.DEV file and a disk directory where you can store the package directory files. Once you
warm boot your system with option 2 above, enter the following commands at terminal server port 0:
1. LOG OPR:
2. AMPM ALPHAMICRO:100TX DSK0:
