NOTE LAT Version 5.0 or higher must be installed and running on a host system before you can use the DECserver 90L. If you cannot connect to a selected system and you are not sure if the LAT Version 5.0 or higher is installed and running, see your system manager for help. Using a Terminal or Personal Computer This section explains how to use the DECserver 90L with a terminal or Personal Computer (PC) running terminal emulation software. Establishing a Terminal Session To establish a terminal session: 1. Turn your terminal on or start the terminal emulation software on your PC. 2. Press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key twice, you will see the DECserver 90L prompt: -> 3. At the prompt (->), type your node name and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The DECserver 90L indicates that it is attempting to connect to the node by displaying a string of dots "...." on the screen. 3-1 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 3-2 Operation The following shows the connection to a VMS node named MYNODE. -> MYNODE ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ................ %DS90L-100, Connection Established Welcome to MYNODE running VMS 5.4 Username: NOTE The DECserver 90L does not require the configuration of group codes. The first time it connects to a service it learns the service name. This can take up to 60 seconds. The terminal session is established and control is passed to the specified node (assuming the node is available). If you do not know your node name(s), ask your system manager. When a terminal session is established, most systems start some type of log in sequence, such as prompting you for username and password. Refer to the documentation for your specific system for information about starting a session. Ending a Terminal Session A terminal session is ended by logging off or disconnecting from the system on which your terminal session was running. Logging off a system ends your terminal session and returns you to the DECserver 90L prompt. The following example shows what happens when a user logs off the VAX/VMS node MYNODE. $ LO ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ USER logged out at 01-JAN-1991 16:55:00.00 -> %DS90L-107, Session Disconnected -> ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Operation 3-3 ``Last Number Redial'' Last number redial allows a port to connect to the last service accessed without entering the service or node name. This is done by entering the connect command ``>'' or C[ONNECT] at the DECserver 90L prompt and pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The following example shows how to use the last number redial feature to reconnect to node MYNODE. $ LO ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ USER logged out at 01-JAN-1991 16:55:00.00 -> > ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ %DS90L-100, Connection Established Welcome to MYNODE running VMS 5.4 Username: Interrupting a Terminal Session You can interrupt a terminal session and return to the DECserver 90L prompt by pressing the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key on the terminal. When you press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key, the session is interrupted, not ended, and the DECserver 90L prompt appears as follows: -> At this point you can issue a show or set command, resume the interrupted session, or end the session. Resuming an Interrupted Terminal Session To resume an interrupted terminal session, type the connect command ``>'' or RESU[ME] at the DECserver 90L prompt. The following is an example of resuming an interrupted terminal session. -> > ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ When you resume an interrupted session, control is returned to the point at which the session was interrupted. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 3-4 Operation Disconnecting an Interrupted Terminal Session After you interrupt a terminal session, you might change your mind and decide not to resume the session. In this case, you can disconnect the session by typing the disconnect symbol ``<'' or D[ISCONNECT] at the DECserver 90L prompt. The following is an example of disconnecting an interrupted terminal session. -> < ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -> When you disconnect an interrupted session, your session is stopped and the DECserver 90L prompt appears on your terminal. NOTE Entering the disconnect command when there is no interrupted session to resume causes the port to enter its power-up state (non-autobaud state). 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. DECserver 90L Commands The commands used to establish and control a terminal session and to manage the DECserver 90L are described in Table 3-1.

The DECserver 90L does not use or require the configuration of group codes. It requires that service ad timers be set to 60 seconds (the default) or less. Reducing the interval for service ad time improves the response of the DECserver 90L when making new connections. The DECserver 90L can work with systems whose service ad timer interval is greater than 60 seconds if: · A LATmaster response is received. · The systems service ad happens to be received within 60 seconds. The time required for the DECserver 90L to establish a connection can be reduced to two seconds or less for any ``service'' by installing LATmaster (V5.2) on any node in your network (see your system manager). The DECserver 90L can be managed locally or from a remote device on the network. Local management is done using a terminal connected to one of the ports on the DECserver 90L. Remote management is done using maintenance operations protocol (MOP) console carrier. Managing the DECserver 90L includes: · Examining port and server parameters and network counters · Setting port parameters · Setting server name and zeroing counters · Security - Setting and clearing authorized mode - Enabling and disabling manager mode - Changing the password 4-1 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-2 Managing the DECserver 90L Local Management Local management of the DECserver 90L is performed with a terminal connected to one of its eight ports and using the Set, Show, and Reset commands of the DECserver 90L. Remote Management The DECserver 90L can be managed from a remote node on the network using MOP console carrier. Once the MOP console carrier session is established, the Set and Show commands are used to examine and set the various port and server parameters. The Reset command is used to reset ports and the server to the power-up state. A VMS-based system can establish a console carrier session with a DECserver 90L as shown in the following example. The Ethernet address of the DECserver 90L in this example is 08-00-2B-08-32-2B and SVA-0 identifies the system's Ethernet interface. $ 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) Security Security for the DECserver 90L is provided by a password protected management mode. This mode of operation is called authorized mode and can be set and cleared as required. When authorized mode is set, the following conditions exist: · Users can only set the parameters of their port and show the server 's parameters. · Manager mode must be enabled (password required) to set server parameters and port parameters other than the one you are connected to and to change the password. When the DECserver 90L is first installed, authorized mode is not set and any port can be used to set any other port's parameters and the server 's parameters. To set authorized mode requires physical access to the unit. When setting authorized mode a password is entered and verified. The units power must be cycled, turned off and then on, within one minute of entering the password for authorized mode to be set. The cycling of the power verifies that you have access to the unit and causes the password to be saved in the units non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the DECserver 90L 4-3 Management Commands The commands used to manage the DECserver 90L are the Set, Show and Reset commands. The set and show commands use a menu to select the parameters to show or set. A command line mode is available for use by network management software or by users that want to bypass the menu interface. Refer to the Command Line section at the end of this chapter, for more detailed information on command line mode. The following sections show how to enter the Set, Show, and Reset commands using the menu and the command line. Set Command The Set command allows you to set port or server parameters, zero network counters, and enable and use the DECserver 90L security features. Setting Port Parameters The following port parameters can be set for each port: · Port name · Port speed (baud rate) · Input flow control · Output flow control · Device type (terminal or printer) · Local or remote break · Remote modify · Test (loopback) operation Table 4-1 describes each of the port parameters that can be set. Port parameters can be set from the menu or by a command line entered at the prompt. If authorized mode is set and the port parameters to be set are for a port other than the one you are connected to, you must first enable manager mode. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-4 Managing the DECserver 90L Table 4-1 Port Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------ Field Description ------------------------------------------------------------ Port Name Maximum of six characters. The following characters can be used: alpha, numeric, -, _, and $. Speed Sets the receive/transmit speed of the port. When a terminal is connected to a port, the DECserver 90L automatically sets the speed through autobaud. For use with printers or other such devices the speed can be set to one of six values. 1 =38400 baud 2 =19200 baud 3 = 9600 baud 4 = 4800 baud 5 = 2400 baud 6 = 1200 baud Input Control Enables and disables input flow control (XON/XOFF). E = Enable D = Disable C = Clear (send XON) Output Control Enables and disables output flow control (XON/XOFF). E = Enable D = Disable C = Clear (send XON) Terminal /Printer Selects the type of device connected to the port. The port that issues the set command cannot set its device type to the printer. T = Terminal P = Printer Break Determines if the port responds to a local or a remote break. L = Local R = Remote Remote Modify Enables and disables modification of the port by the host system.

Resetting the server sets all port and server parameters to their power-up state and disconnects all sessions and runs self-test. When the DECserver 90L is in authorized mode the port you are using must be in manager mode to reset another port or the server. For ports that have not had their speed set using the set command they will be in the non-autobaud state (no speed set). After being reset, the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key must be pressed twice to autobaud the port and set the speed.

The command line interpreter helps with the control of the DECserver 90L by network management software and by users who want to bypass the menu interface. For command line entries, the commands and parameters are not entered through a menu on the terminal screen. The user 's input is echoed and the complete command is processed after a ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ is entered. Note that any error in parsing a command will cause the entire command to be ignored. A space is required between the command (set or show) and its parameters. The command line interpreter uses comas (,) as a delimiter to separate the different fields in a command line. To make the command line interpreter easier to use the current value (default) for a field will be used when: 1. There is no entry for a field. 2. A ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ is entered before all the parameters have been entered.

However, there are three basic steps that need to be performed when setting a DECserver 90L port for use by a printer. 1. Choose the port to be used. - Set the server name if it has not already been done. - Set the port for use by a printer. The following port parameters should be set: Name = port name you want to use Speed = speed of printer Input flow = as required by printer (usually enabled) Output flow = as required by printer (usually enabled) Device type = Printer Break = as required by printer (usually don't care) Remote Modify = enabled if host needs to be able to change printer characteristics (usually disabled) 2. Set up the system so it can access the printer port. Refer to your system documentation for information on this procedure. For example on a VAX/VMS system you would use LATCP to map LTA1234: to the server name and port name on the DECserver 90L. A typical VMS setup is as follows: $ MCR LATCP LCP>CREATE PORT LTA1234 Local Port Name = LTA1234: LCP>SET PORT LTA1234:/NODE=MYSERVER/PORT=PRINT Specified Remote Node Name = MYSERVER Specified Remote Port Name = PRINT Link Name = LAT$LINK LCP>EXIT $ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-26 Managing the DECserver 90L 3. Configure the print queue to point to the port (LTA1234:) defined in the previous step. Refer to your system documentation for information on this procedure. NOTE If you want to set all eight ports for use by printers, the eighth port's parameters must be set using a MOP console carrier session. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 5 Troubleshooting ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the DECserver 90L. Before you begin you should: 1. Verify that the unit is properly installed. 2. Note the fault condition. 3. Isolate the problem. Use Table 5-1 as a guide to determine the probable cause and the suggested solution. Table 5-1 DECserver 90L Troubleshooting ------------------------------------------------------------ If... Then... Do this... ------------------------------------------------------------ The power LED is not ``on'' The DECserver 90L is not receiving +5V. Check the AC power connection and verify that the AC outlet is working. Check the power connection on the DECserver 90L. If the problem still exists, replace the power supply. The self-test LED is not ``on'' The unit did not pass self-test. Replace the unit. The network LED is not ``on'' It is a network problem. Check network connection. Check if the segment is properly terminated. Disconnect unit from network. Connect T-connector with two 50 ohm terminators. If the LED turns ``on'', then it is a network problem. If the LED stays ``off'', then replace the unit. 5-1 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 5-2 Troubleshooting Table 5-1 (Cont.)

Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ twice to set the port baud rate (autobaud). Terminal transmit and receive speeds must be the same. The terminal flow control is disabled. Reset the terminals flow control. The port type is set to the printer. Set port to term. There is faulty wiring between the terminal and the DECserver 90L. While watching the activity LED on the DECserver 90L, the LED should blink when characters are typed at the terminal. If not, check that the activity LED blinks when characters are typed on terminals connected to other ports. If the activity LED blinks the wiring between the terminal and the DECserver 90L or the terminal is faulty. You cannot connect to the service The service is not available. Check for service availability. The LAT is not installed on the host system. Verify that the LAT Version 5.0 or higher is running on the host system. It is a Network Problem. Check the network LED, it should be on. If not, check the network connection. If the LED is on, you can check network connectivity by running MOP loopback or a MOP console carrier session. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting 5-3 Table 5-1 (Cont.)
