Ericsson LBI-38965B installation manual Example, Configuration Tips

INSTALLATION LBI-38965

EXAMPLE:

Assume that the file CAL.DAT has the following two site entries: System Manger site 2 is connected to port 3 on the distribution panel, and System Manager site 10 is connected to port 6 on the distribution panel.

SITE.02.PASSWD	SITE02
SITE.02.IP	147.117.37.10	#Terminal server IP address
SITE.02.PORT	5002	#TCP port_no used for site 2
SITE.10.PASSWD	SITE10
SITE.10.IP	147.117.37.10
SITE.10.PORT	5010	#TCP port_no used for site 10

Inserting the information below would configure the terminal server for the values shown above.

Server>> change port 3 access remote

Server>> change port 3 type softcopy

Server>> change port 3 autobaud disabled

Server>> change port 3 speed 19200

Server>> change service PORT_3 5002 port 3 telnet disabled

Server>> change port 3 queuing disabled

Server>> change port 3 flow control disabled

Server>> change port 6 access remote

Server>> change port 6 type softcopy

Server>> change port 6 autobaud disabled

Server>> change port 6 speed 19200

Server>> change service PORT_6 5010 port 6 telnet disabled

Server>> change port 6 queuing disabled

Server>> change port 6 flow control disabled

After completing the configuration, reconnect the Ethernet LAN connection to the terminal server. If a second terminal server is installed, repeat the procedure above.

Configuration Tips

If all 16 ports of a terminal server are needed for System Manager interface, first configure 15 of them using a “dumb” terminal connected to port 1. Port 1 (configuration port) may then be re-assigned to a remote port, accessible via a telnet connection. Telnet into the terminal server on the OVERRIDE port number, and reconfigure port 1 as required. Refer to the Emulex Terminal Server user’s manual for additional information on server configuration via a telnet connection.

The up arrow on a VT100 can be used to recall commands to the terminal server, allowing the user to reissue the same command to each port on the server by only changing port_no.

NOTE

The push button switch (marked default) on the front of the Emulex P2516 terminal server will erase all configuration information in the terminal server and return it to the factory default state. Do not use this switch to reset the terminal server. Cycle power or issue the “Initialize server” command from the server configuration port to restart the terminal server.
