Hi
I've set up the following environment using PCM under OSF1 and using
Telnet versus LAT.
ds90tl---------AXP-2100
| PCM Mgr
| |
======================================================
My customer wants to avoid using LAT due to preference for Telnet.
I've configure DNAS for the 90tl and it loads fine. I appear to have
PCM configured okay, but I am not able to get through to my AXP-2100.
Basically when I try to connect to the console picture it puts up the
decterm window and I get a few lines of information ie. use of Ctl E
and Ctl G... When I hit the return key I go to the command prompt and
never get through or feedback from the TS and/or system.
Question:
For Telnet what should I have configured on the 90tl...the following
lists what I have now or should say have ended up with.
- Internet address and subnet mask are fine
- can ping out and connect to other systems from a port into the
network
- Flow ctl=xon/xoff
- parity=none
- stop bits=dynamic
- access=remote
- break=disabled
- def protocol=telnet
- signal ctl=disabled
Characteristics:
- autobaud, inactivity timer logout, input flow ctl, output flow ctl,
signal check
Telnet Listener:
- tcp-port=23
- id=telnet console
- ports(1 through 8)
- connection=enabled
What is a valid Telnet configuration setup on the 90tl to work with the
PCM environment?
I then set my system under PCM up to be telnet based with the server
name and telnet number to be 23. When I view the terminal server under
options I see the server.
When I did a MAKEDEV pty, I ended up with ptyn0... and ptyq0...
devices, where do I map these or is it taken care of? Also, I don't
see where aI connect to port 8 on the 90tl, it appears to just connect
to the server and 23...do I need to assign a tcp-port to each server
port...I believe this is correct?
Cabling, I'm using what the customer has right now and it may be
causing additional grief.
- 90tl|
_|rj45 adapter to mmj-------------------mmj to 9pin|2100-AXP
The rj45 is an H8584-AC, the cable is the bc16e, the adapter is the
H8571-J....
I've also tried with a BN24H cable which has an rj45 on one end and an
mmj on the other.
Both of the above work from the terminal into the 90tl...
What are the pin layouts supposed to be?
My appologies for the above format, but I'm trying to work-out in short
order.
cheers

Where do I map the ptyn0...

get rid of autobaud, signal check and inactivity logout.

Don't use port 23 as thats the server console port number. What I do is
take each port and assign it a unique listener number. The numbers
start at 2001 so the logical thing to do is assign listener 2001 to
server port 1, 2002 to server port 2 etc.
> to the server and 23...do I need to assign a tcp-port to each server
>port...I believe this is correct?
answered in the above. Once you've assigned each port it's listener
number modify the database record for the managed system to use the
correct listener number and server name for the server port it's
console is physically connected to.

| 1270.2 | Second connection won't happen? | OTOU01::TYPHAIR | Steve Typhair - dtn633-3761 | Tue May 07 1996 00:37 | 15 |
Thanks for the input, 23 I use for the console port and I have been
using 2001...up for the other connections I need using telnet listener.
For some reason when I move to a second connection off of say port 7,
and have added it to PCM accordingly. I then try to connect to it and
I only have one active console device to connect to out of the two I
have now added. I've tried several combinations with the customer and
the same results...ie. switched cables between systems etc.
Any suggestions?
Also, its key I have the 'telnet reset' function, I haven't seen it
documented for the 90tl...does it support this feautre?
Cheers
Steve

This sounds like a classic case of insufficient license units.

Hi Dan After spending some time on the phone with the customer its my guess as well. I get a chance to verify one way or another today. Cheers and Thanks Steve [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
