Operating the DECserver 90L+
Operating as a Console Requester
The DECserver 90L+ can operate as a console requester. As a console requester,
the DECserver 90L+ establishes a MOP console carrier session with another
console server on the same network. This is done by using the M[OP] command
and the network device’s Ethernet address. The DECserver 90L+ also supports
a verification code if required by the console server. The following is an example
of establishing a connection from a DECserver 90L+ to another DECserver 90L+.
The Ethernet address of the device is 08-00-2B-19-8B-AF.
MYSERVER> MOP 08-00-2B-19-8B-AF
Return
-> %DS90L-113, Console connected (press Ctrl/D when finished)
-> (prompt from connected device)
Note
The RESUME and DISCONNECT commands can be used for a MOP
session by typing RESU[ME] M or D[ISCONNECT] M.
If a MOP session is active, use of the F[ORWARD] and B[ACKWARD]
commands will cycle through the MOP session.
Operating as a Console Server
The DECserver 90L+ can also operate as a console server. A console server allows
another requester to connect to its console port. This function is used for remote
management of the DECserver 90L+. The following shows how a VMS system
can establish a console carrier session with a DECserver 90L+. The Ethernet
address of the DECserver 90L+ in this example is 08-00-2B-08-32-2B and SVA-0
identifies the VMS system’s Ethernet circuit name.
$ MCR NCP
$ NCP> CONNECT VIA SVA-0 PHY ADDR 08-00-2B-08-32-2B
Console connected (press CTRL/D when finished)
-> (DECserver 90L+ PROMPT)
Using a Printer
Any of the ports on your DECserver 90L+ can be set for use with a printer. This
is usually done by the person responsible for managing the DECserver 90L+.
Chapter 4 contains information on how to set a port for use with a printer.
