827.0. "8200 supported?" by 36677::MACOMBER (UNIX Software Consultant) Mon Jun 19 1995 17:43

Are 8200s supported? If so, does the 8200 come with RS232 ports by default?
Do I/can I use the console port itself or do I need a seperate one like
tty00 or tty01?
(are these stupid questions?)

Any input welcome.

    Which 8200's? Are you talking about the old Scorpio class VAXes or
    what? Also, do you mean to use an "8200" as the PCM engine will they
    be managed by PCM? If the latter, PCM will manage anything that has an
    RS232/DEC423 console port that uses the ASCII character set and
    supports XON/XOFF flow control.

827.2UNIX Turbolaser - setup guidelines?ASABET::abs004p6.nqo.dec.com::MACOMBERRobb Macomber - UNIX ConsultantTue Jul 11 1995 14:4310
Thanks, Dan.

 I wouldn't have thought of old technology re: 8200's. I mean Turbolasers running UNIX 
V3.2C. (yes I mean "C"). I have 5 of them as well as a pair of rackmounted 2100's that 
my customer wants to add to his VAX VMS based PCM station. He has been having trouble 
getting them to communicate.

 Are there any prereqs or settings that need to be considered to make this happen?

    What is happening or not happening when he tries to use them
    with PCM?

    Not to my knowledge. I have had instance's where Unix will change 
    the bits/parity setting onthe console terminal when it boots
    so make sure the ttydef's are set consistently. I recommend
    you use 8 bits/no-parity.
