952.0. "Can we use a DS90L+?" by 51678::MALM (My God! It's full of stars...) Tue Aug 29 1995 13:51

Hi!

I'm sorry if the information of the following is easy obtained or at present
somewhere else in the conference, on the network or on the planet. I'm sitting
at home after having spent some time at a customer site trying to get PCM to
talk to a DS90L+...

Is the DS90L+ supported together with PCM? Has anybody used it before? Does
anybody have the appropriate TSM config scripts for setting up a DS90L+ as PCM
terminal server?

The customer bought a DS90L+ a year ago and now they are trying to use it for
PCM purposes.

The menu syntax in the DS is rather tricky (hard to read/write/understand) and
nothing seems to be like the good old DS200 days... :-)

And now over to something...

Is there a list of supported terminal servers or at least a list of servers
that'll make you regret that you bought them?

    Steffan,
    
       Yes, the DS90L+ is supported. There is a list in the Software
    Product Description (SPD) which can be located in
    pcmsvr::cm$docs:*spd*.*
    
    Make sure the ports are set to the equivilent of 'host initiated
    connection' and also make sure that PCM recognizes this as a LAT
    connection.

    Steffan,
      The trick is walking through the menus to set the port up as a
    "printer" port. If you are lucky enough to have the DS90TL manual they
    do list the "menu path" to do this.
    
    Regs,

952.3Customer is buying a DS700 instead51678::MALMMy God! It's full of stars...Thu Sep 07 1995 05:2215
Dan!

The customer is ordering a DS700 so the DS90L+ is obsolete in this case.

The problem were two...
1: To set the DS90L+ up in the right config today. OK! We can do it (thanks to
you all).
2: In the future, who will ever know how to set it up again...

The customer has decided to buy a DS700 with the easier command syntax (and
eight more terminal ports). The DS90L+ was a misstake by the customer

Staffan
