92.0. "Prime Success!" by LTLKNG::ZIGLER (Tom Zigler DTN:432-7541) Wed Sep 01 1993 17:19

    	The POLYCENTER Console Manager (CM) V1.0 software is successfully
    	monitoring/controlling a Prime 9955 Model 2 (PRIMOS V23.3.0.R43)
    	via a host-initiated TELNET connection to a port on a DECserver 700
    	terminal server.
    
    	I have posted the technical details of the DECserver 700 port
    	configuration in the Terminal Server Notes Conference
    	(TOOK::TERMINAL_SERVERS) under reply 1236.8 for future reference.

I am posting this reply for future reference regarding anyone who wants 
to control/monitor Prime PRIMOS systems from Digital's POLYCENTER 
Console Manager (CM) software.

We successfully executed a Prime shutdown/startup boot cycle by configuring
the DECserver 700 as follows:

1) Configure the DECserver 700 port per the example given in the 
DECserver 700 Management manual in the section, "Configuring a Computer 
for Access through a TELNET listener".

2) Configure the DECserver 700 port as follows:
	local> change port 1 character size 8
	local> change port 1 flow control disabled
	local> change port 1 parity none
	local> change port 1 stop bits 1

3) Configure the DECserver 700 TELNET server software component as follows:

	local> change port 1 telnet server transmit character size 7

It works!

Here is a more detailed picture of the complete explanation:


TELNET			SERVER		   SERVER	Prime
CLIENT			HOST		   PORT		Computer

(Our Unix W/S)		(DS700)		  (DS700 Port)	(Console Mode)
--------------		---------	  ------------	--------------

8 bits			8 bits		   8 bits	8 bits
no parity		no parity	   no parity	no parity
---------------------------------> (Receive Direction)



7 bits			8 bits		   8 bits	8 bits
			strips high bit	   no parity	high bit on/off
<-------------------------------- (Transmit Direction)


Many thanks to all of you who assisted me in this effort!
