Remote Console Port

OpenVMS Utility — Terminal Server Manager

For OpenVMS systems, DIGITAL offers the Terminal Server manager (TSM) to facilitate managing the access server using the MOP remote console. TSM allows the user to store access information such as the maintenance password, Ethernet address, and login password for a server in a local database. The user can then establish a simple USER SERVER command and TSM will retrieve the information and establish a remote connection to the MOP console of the targeted server. Since TSM supports command scripts a highly automated interface to the MOP remote console can be created.

Network Control Program (NCP)

NCP enables you to connect to the remote console port from an OpenVMS DECnet node that is on the same Ethernet as the access server. The node must be running DECnet Phase IV software, but does not need to be a LAT service node or a load host for your access server.

Usage Considerations

Consider the following when using NCP:

∙Do not confuse the SERVICE PASSWORD that you enter in an NCP command with the access server SERVICE PASSWORD. They are unrelated.

∙If the access server requires that you specify the maintenance password and you omit it, NCP displays this error message:

Target does not respond

To disconnect from the access server, press Ctrl/D. To exit NCP, type EXIT or press Ctrl/Z.

For additional information about NCP, refer to the documentation provided with your system.
