SECTION 1

CONFIGURING DECSERVERS FOR TCP/IP

This section describes the procedures for configuring DEC terminal servers for TCP/IP

1. CONFIGURE DECSERVER FOR TCP/IP

This may be done from either a VMS or UNIX host residing on the same LAN as the terminal server, or by connecting a terminal to Port 1 of the server.

The following information is required for the DEC server

(a) DECserver node name

(b) Internet address

(d) Gateway address

The following commands are required to configure the DECserver for TCP/IP

CHANGE SERVER NAME node-name

CHANGE INTERNET SUBNET MASK n.n.n.n.

CHANGE INTERNET ADDRESS n.n.n.n.

Example

Having connected to the DECserver

Local> SET PRIV

Password> system

Local> CHANGE SERVER NAME ESYT01

Local> CHANGE INTERNET SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0

Local> CHANGE INTERNET ADDRESS 147.148.77.176

NOTE : Input the SUBNET MASK before the internet address

Then if the DECserver is connected to a subnet that has an IP router or gateway;

Local> CHANGE INTERNET GATEWAY 147.148.77.1

Confirm settings :-

Local > SHOW INTERNET

Internet Address : 147.148.77.176

Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0

Local > SHOW INTERNET GATEWAY

Gateway : 147.148.77.1 Network : any

A suitable test is to try logging into an Internet Host or PING it. From the DECserver prompt use the PING or TELNET command.

DISABLE DHCP

Local>DEFINE INTERNET DHCP DISABLED

SET TCP SESSION TIMEOUTS

Local>DEFINE INTERNET KEEPALIVE TIMER 1

Local>DEFINE INTERNET KEEPALIVE RETRY 1

SECTION 2

CONFIGURING DECSERVER PORTS FOR PCM

This section describes the procedures for configuring the DECserver ports and the TELNET Listeners on the DECserver.

1. Required port settings

Character Size : 8 Input Speed : 9600

Flow Control : XON Output Speed : 9600

Parity : None Signal Control : Disabled

Access : Remote Local Switch : None

Backwards Switch : Remote Name : Port_2

Break : Remote Session Limit : 4

Forwards Switch : None Type : Soft

Default Protocol : Telnet

Preferred Service : None

Authorized Groups : 0

(Current) Groups : 0

Enabled Characteristic

Input Flow Control, Output Flow Control, Verification

e.g. to define settings for ports 2-8

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 ACCESS REMOTE

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 BREAK REMOTE

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 DEF PROTOCOL REMOTE

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 PREFERRED NONE

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 AUTOCONNECT ENA

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 BROADCAST DISA

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 AUTOBAUD DISA

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 LOCK DISA

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 LOSS DISA

Local> DEFINE PORT 2-8 MESSAGE DISA

Check settings by issuing :-

Local> SHOW PORT 2

After configuring the settings, logout the port.

Local>logout port 2

2. Configuring a Listener

LISTENERS that are pre-configured in DECserver are:

-The default TELNET LISTENER 23 (points to DECserver CONSOLE by default)

-TELNET LISTENERS 2001-2016 (to be configured as required)

Therefore, to configure listener 2001 to point to port 2 on the DECserver :-

Local> CHANGE TELNET LISTENER 2001 PORT 2 ENABLED

Local> CHANGE TELNET LISTENER 2001 IDENTIFICATION “EDB”

Local> CHANGE TELNET LISTENER 2001 CONNECTIONS ENABLED

To check settings,

Local> SHOW TELNET LISTENER 2001

Listener TCP-port : 2001

Identification : EDB

Ports : 2

Connections : Enabled

Confirm that connections are enabled for the console port.

Local> SHOW TELNET LISTENER 23

Listener TCP-port : 23

Identification : Telnet Console

Ports : Console

Connections : Enabled

Additional Information for configuration.
