Connecting Further Rcas To The Lan Console - Fujitsu Siemens Computers PRIMESTATION Series Manual

PRIMESTATION as LAN Console
If configuration entries are to be created for the RCA3, a password has to be
assigned for the specified port for each new entry in mklancon. This password
has to be notified to the RCA by entering it under the appropriate port number
on the "Ports" screen page in the RCA setup routine (see manual LAN Console
U41224-J-Z916-1-76).
Existing configuration entries can be checked, removed and changed in the way
described in the section "Configuring the LAN Console" on page 44.

Connecting further RCAs to the LAN Console

Another RCA is configured in basically the same way as described for an initial
configuration in the section "Initial configuration of the LAN Console and RCA"
on page 43. First, configuration entries should be created for the existing LAN
Console using the new RCA as described under "mklancon - Create LAN
Console configuration entries" on page 45.
The RCA is configured in keeping with the section "Configuring the RCA" on
page 47.
Finally, the RCA has to be activated and configured as described under
"Addressing the RCA in the network" on page 50 and "RCA access" on page 51.
5.4.2.6 Connecting another LAN Console to the RCA
To configure another LAN Console connected to an existing RCA, all configu-
ration entries for the existing LAN Console must also be created on the
additional LAN Console with the same parameter settings. You can check the
necessary information about existing configuration entries with the showlancon
command. The entries on the new LAN Console are again created with
mklancon - see the section "Configuring the LAN Console" on page 44.
5.4.2.7 Modifying the LAN Console and RCA
The following sections outline the approach to modifying a configuration entry
on the LAN Console and the RCA4. The steps for removing a LAN Console or
