In order to talk to a PP via the network, you first need to set its IP
address. In order to to this, you must use the OBM port, which is
really only a character cell setup port. You need a PERFECT null modem
cable to get this console to respond. For the life of me, I can't
understand why this is. I had to resort to putting a MODEM on the port
and dialing up to it to get it work. I had to set the modem DTR high to
get it to answer. It is a real pain and I wish they would either supply
the cable or make the console port less rigid in what signals it needs.

| 2334.3 | where is V2.3 for PP ? | HGOVC::RICHARDLAM | | Fri Jun 02 1995 13:03 | 21 |

Re .2
Where can I get V3.2? Is it in the following :
NAC::DISK$RAIDSET_3:[NETWORKS.MANAGE.DEMOS.PROBEWAT]
disk1.dir disk2.dir
Also where can I get the V2.3 firmware for my PP? The pointer in 2.0
shows that the current version is V2.1 (NS3210.S)!!
Lastly, when you say V2.3 supports SLIP, does it have the restrictions
as stated in 2334.1? What my customer wants is that he can use his PC's
com2 port to connect to the probe (console port) and get the statistics
collected via the probe's 10BaseT port. Will this work with V2.3 ?
Thanks in advance for further help.

1/ i can send you this code give an enet pointer
2/ Normally it should works but you must add modems between Probe and PC
firmware V2.3 can't handle an nul modem connection (for the moment)

| 2334.5 | modem should only be needed for SLIP | NAC::FORREST | | Mon Jun 05 1995 12:11 | 13 |
| regarding .2 - V3.2 is available on the network at
NAC::NIPG:[MANAGE.RMON.WINDOWS.DISK*] It should get released this
month.
regarding .1 - I generally connect a VT220 or a PC using the Windows
terminal emulator via a BC16E (DECconnect Office cable) and an H8571J
MMJ to 9 pin D adapter; this usually works for me; one time it did
not work, and I still don't know why. Can you send me mail with the
configuration that does not work for you?
PS This refers to using the setup port for setup, not for SLIP.
Jean-Yves is right - the firmware currently requires full modem control
for SLIP to work. (This is being fixed).
