ADDING A NEW CONSOLE
STEP 1
Updating current consoles
Each console on the network requires a copy of every license
issued. Any console lacking enough licenses will not be able to
communicate with the network. Thus the first step to install-
ing a new console is to add the new license to every console on
the network.
Method 1 - Console by console
On each console, menu
<right>
click on the grey background,
select
Programs
from the Workspace menu presented. Choose
Shell
from the Programs menu. You will be presented with a
new window and the QNX prompt. Insert the new license
expansion disk in the floppy drive.
Enter
login root
(you will need the password).
Enter
license
Enter
license -r
On the last console,
Enter
slay -fsSIGUSR1 bciNet.dbase
Enter
exit
(to cancel root privileges and close the window).
The window will close. Go to the next console and repeat on
every console.

NOTES:
1. Installing the Redundancy Volume on all nodes, allows every node to have access to the Redun-
dancy functions.
2. Refer to the Section 2 —
Installation of the classConnect/DDE manual for details in loading
the QNX TCP/IP disk onto the OIS12 node and the set of classConnect/DDE disks to be loaded
into the DOS computers.
3. Either a 1-Node or a 4-Node TCP-Link Volume is supplied with the classConnect package and
is dependant on the number of DOS computers (1 or 4) allowed to communicate with the OIS12
system.
4. The node selected to be the bridge between the OIS12 network and the DOS network can be
either an OIS12 or OIC12 node.
5. The actual Protocol Specific Driver (PSD) provided will depend on the type of PLC with which
you wish to communicate.
