At the prompt (->), type your service name and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The DECserver 90L+ indicates that it is attempting to connect by displaying a string of dots "...." on the screen. The following example shows the connection to a service named RED. -> RED ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ................ %DS90L-108, RED session 1 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 host. If you do not know the services offered by your host(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 service RED. $ LO ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ USER logged out at 01-JAN-1992 16:55:00.00 -> %DS90L-107, RED session 1 disconnected -> 3-2 Operating the DECserver 90L+ Operating the DECserver 90L+ 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 C[ONNECT] at the DECserver 90L+ prompt and pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ .

To resume a specific session, type the command and specify the session number. In the case of a MOP session, type M in place of the session number. The following is an example of resuming terminal session 2 for a port. -> > 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -> %DS90L-112, YELLOW session 2 resumed When you resume an interrupted session, control is returned to the point at which the session was interrupted. Cycle Forward from an Interrupted Terminal Session After you interrupt a terminal session, you can cycle forward to the next session. This is done by entering the FORWARD command F[ORWARD] at the DECserver 90L+ prompt and pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The following is an example of having interrupted session 2 and forwarding to session 3. -> F ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -> %DS90L-112, GREEN session 3 resumed Cycle Backward from an Interrupted Terminal Session After you interrupt a terminal session, you can cycle backward to the session previous to the session that was interrupted. This is done by entering the BACKWARD command B[ACKWARD] at the DECserver 90L+ prompt and pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . The following is an example of having interrupted session 2 and cycling backward to session 1. -> B ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -> %DS90L-112, RED session 1 resumed ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ There are no definable switch characters to immediately go forward and backward between sessions as in other Digital terminal servers. The FORWARD and BACKWARD commands are circular, that is they "loop" or "cycle" through the number of sessions established. ------------------------------------------------------------ Operating the DECserver 90L+ 3-5 Operating the DECserver 90L+ 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. To disconnect a specific session, type the command and specify the session number. In the case of a MOP session, type M in place of the session number. The following is an example of disconnecting terminal session 4 for a port. -> < 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -> %DS90L-112, BLUE session 4 disconnected 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 MOP Console Carrier Maintenance Operations Protocol (MOP) is a maintenance protocol specified in the Digital Network Architecture (DNA) that is used to implement the remote console facility and to perform remote management and loopback tests. The DECserver 90L+ supports the remote console facility also known as console carrier. Within console carrier there are two components: console requester, and console server. 3-6 Operating the DECserver 90L+ 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. Operating the DECserver 90L+ 3-7 Operating the DECserver 90L+ 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.

It 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 response is received from a node's LAT software. (LAT Protocol Version 5.2 or later supports the service responder feature. This is a standard with VMS Version 5.5 or later and optional with VMS Version 5.4-2 or 5.4-3.) · The system's service ad happens to be received within 60 seconds. The time required for the DECserver 90L+ to establish a connection can be reduced to a minimum of two seconds for any ``service'' when any node in your network has enabled the service responder feature of its LAT software (LAT Protocol Version 5.2 or later). See your system manager for more information. 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. This can be done from another DECserver 90L+ or another remote device. In addition, the DECserver 90L+ can be used to manage other members of the DEChub 90 family. Managing the DECserver 90L+ 4-1 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Managing the DECserver 90L+ includes: · Examining port and server parameters and network counters · Setting port parameters · Setting server name, prompt, and zeroing counters · Security - Setting and clearing authorized mode - Enabling and disabling manager mode - Changing the password 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. Accessing MOP from VMS On a VMS operating system, the MOP console carrier is included as part of the network control program (NCP) facility, which requires a DECnet license. You do not need increased user privileges to use NCP to establish a console carrier session. To establish a console carrier session, you must know the: · Ethernet address of the DECserver 90L+ to be managed · Ethernet name of the circuit that contains the DECserver 90L+ The Ethernet address should be on the label on the DECserver 90L+ front panel. The circuit name is needed because a VMS operating system may have more than one Ethernet interface. Table 4-1 is a partial list of Ethernet circuit names, based on system type. 4-2 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Managing the DECserver 90L+ Table 4-1 Ethernet Circuit Names for VMS-Based Systems ------------------------------------------------------------ System Ethernet Circuit Name ------------------------------------------------------------ VAX 6000 and VAX 9000 XMI computers MNA-0 BI-based systems (VAX 6300 and VAX 6400 computers) BNA-0 VAX 4000 computers ISA-0 MicroVAX/3600/3900 computers QNA-0 VAXstation 2000 and 3000 computers SVA-0 VAX-11/780 and VAX-11/785 computers (UNIBUS) UNA-0 ------------------------------------------------------------ The following VMS command is used to establish a console carrier session from a VAXstation 3100 system to 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 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) Accessing a DECserver 90L+ Repeatedly If you need to access a specific DECserver 90L+ repeatedly, you can enter the Ethernet address for it in the NCP database. This is usually done by choosing an arbitrary address in area 13. DECserver names in the NCP database can have a maximum of six characters. The user must have privileges to modify the NCP database. For example, if you define your DECserver 90L+ as DS90L on address 13.87 and then access it from a VAX 6400 (Ethernet circuit name BNA-0), you would use the following commands: $ NCP> DEFINE NODE DS90L ADDRESS 13.87 HARDWARE 08-00-2B-08-32-2B SERVICE CIR BNA-0 NCP> SET NODE DS90L ALL To access the DECserver 90L+, type the following: $ NCP CONNECT NODE DS90L Managing the DECserver 90L+ 4-3 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Accessing MOP from ULTRIX On ULTRIX operating systems, the console carrier is a separate utility included as part of the MOP option. The option is part of the regular distribution but is not selected by default and is not included in the basic installation. You can install MOP from the original distribution media by using the setld utility. You must have superuser privileges to invoke console carrier. After the MOP option is installed, each DECserver 90L+ to be managed must be given a name and a dummy node number, using the addnode utility. For example: # addnode 13.1 DS90L After the name and node number is assigned, you can establish the link at any time by using the ccr command: # ccr -n DS90L -h 08-00-2B-08-32-2B -c sva-0 In this example, the -h qualifier is followed by the station address of the DECserver 90L+ unit to be attached. The -c qualifier is followed by the name of the Ethernet circuit to use for the connection. Table 4-2 is a partial list of Ethernet circuit names, based on system type. Table 4-2 Ethernet Circuit Names for ULTRIX-Based Systems ------------------------------------------------------------ System Ethernet Circuit Name ------------------------------------------------------------ VAX 6000 and VAX 9000 XMI computers mna-0 BI-based systems (VAX 6300 and VAX 6400 computers) bna-0 VAX 4000 computers isa-0 MicroVAX/3600/3900 computers qna-0 VAXstation 2000 and 3000 computers sva-0 DECstation 3000 and 5000 computers sva-0 VAX-11/780 and VAX-11/785 computers (UNIBUS) una-0 ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-4 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Managing the DECserver 90L+ 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 set the parameters of only their own port and show the server 's parameters. · Manager mode must be enabled (password required) to set server parameters or port parameters on a port other than the one you are connected to. · Manager mode must be enabled 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 and entering and verifying a password. The unit's 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 unit's non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The self-test LED will flash during the minute that the user has to power cycle the DECserver 90L+ in order for the change to authorized mode to take effect. This helps identify the unit when it is installed in a DEChub backplane. ------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the DECserver 90L+ 4-5 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Management Commands The commands used to manage the DECserver 90L+ are the SET, SHOW, and RESET commands. The SET and SHOW commands can be used from the menu to show or set parameters. 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 4-3 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, then you must first enable manager mode. 4-6 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Managing the DECserver 90L+ Table 4-3 Port Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------ Field Description ------------------------------------------------------------ Port Name Maximum of six characters. You can use the hyphen (-), underscore (_), dollar sign ($), or alpha-numeric characters. 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 printer. T = Terminal P = Printer Break Determines whether a break is acknowledged locally or remotely. L = Local R = Remote Remote Modify Enables and disables modification of the port's characteristics by the host system. E = Enable D = Disable Test Places the selected port into loopback mode. Loopback mode can be used to verify that a port is receiving and sending characters. A port cannot put itself in loopback mode. Y = Yes (loopback mode) N = No ------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the DECserver 90L+ 4-7 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Setting Port Parameters from the Menu To set port parameters from the menu: 1.

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. a. Set the server name if it has not already been done. b. 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 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 $ 4-54 Managing the DECserver 90L+ Managing the DECserver 90L+ 3. Set the LTA device to the same speed as the DECserver 90L+ port: $ SET TERM /NOBROAD/PERM/SPEED=9600 /WID=80 LTA1234: 4. Configure the print queue. For example, assuming that the queue manager has been started, the VMS commands to create a queue named LASER1 that is spooled to the system disk are as follows: $ SET DEVICE/SPOOL=(LASER1, SYS$SYSDEVICE:) LTA1234: $ INIT/QUEUE /START/PROC=LATSYM /SEP=(NOFLAG,NOTRAILER)- LASER1 /ON=LTA1234: ------------------------------------------------------------ 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. The print queue configuration is only in effect until the host is rebooted. To save the configuration, enter steps 2,3, and 4 into the LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM file. The LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM file configures the service node and its services and maps an application port on the service node to a remote printer on a server. Ensure that LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM is invoked from SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. The call to invoke LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM should be after DECnet is up and running. The DECserver 90L+ can interpret LAT codes to output a timed break condition from a terminal port. Using this feature, the DECserver 90L+ can be used to manage a VAX system through its console port. ------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the DECserver 90L+ 4-55 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting the DECserver 90L+ This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the DECserver 90L+. To troubleshoot your unit: 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 proper voltage. 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'' The unit's network connector is not properly terminated. 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 lights, then it is a network problem. Otherwise, replace the unit. (continued on next page) Troubleshooting the DECserver 90L+ 5-1 Troubleshooting the DECserver 90L+ Table 5-1 (Cont.) DECserver 90L+ Troubleshooting ------------------------------------------------------------ If... Then...

Shut off and turn on the terminal. 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 by XOFF. Use the terminal's setup to clear communications. The port type is set to printer. Set port to term. The port is disabled. Contact the system manager. 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 does blink for other ports, the wiring between your terminal and the DECserver 90L+ or the terminal itself is faulty. You cannot connect to the service The service is not available. Check for service availability. LAT is not installed on the host system. Verify that 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.
