1606.0. "Packetprobe90 and SLIP Again" by SOS6::PEYRACHE (Jean-Yves Peyrache Country Support Group France) Mon Oct 24 1994 08:01


   hi ,

  Using My famous Decpacketprobe90 V2.1 ,in items 8 in the menu mode
  i can switch From/to Ethernet From/to Serial (using SLIP)

  Switching to Serial items, after rebooting the probe , it seems to 
  reset to Ethernet choice.??

  Why , is a desired feature .??

  how to lock it on Serial port ??

  thanks for any comments

1606.1cannot be locked to SLIPNAC::FORRESTFri Dec 02 1994 19:489
    I do not think it can be locked to the Serial port. It works 
    somewhat like the DECagent 90 console port. On both, you can 
    connect a terminal and set the port up to operate as a SLIP 
    port. On both you can reset the module or power cycle it to 
    have the port return to being a console port. 
    
    This is necessary, because you may need to use the console function 
    again some day, and you would not want it to remain in SLIP 
    forever.

  Trying the console port in Slip mode,
  but i can't interrogate the probe using Slip connection from My pc
  i put an analyser and saw :

   my pc asked in Slip mode (using slip stack provided in hubwatch)
   but probe answered with ... the menu and of course could'nt understand
   slip language...

  any special things to add or may be some incantations or others mystery..
