Conﬁguring the Remote Console

This section describes the correct conﬁguration for the 99x remote console. The remote

console port is used by the Response Center to view the contents of the support processor.

HP Predictive can also use this port when it is correctly conﬁgured.

MPE/iX 5.0 and later releases should have LDEV 21 properly set for the

NOTE

remote console, so you should not have to perform this procedure.

Earlier releases may or may not have LDEV 21 properly set.

The former default conﬁguration for LDEV 21 speciﬁed an HPC2204A "Bifocus" disk drive.

Since remote console and HP Predictive Support can use LDEV 21 as the dial up port, it is

important for this port to be conﬁgured correctly. The default conﬁguration will cause

Predictive Support to abort with the following error messages on the console:

CTL(17) Cannot FOPEN port on LDEV 21 (FSERR 56)

CTL(7)

Terminating Transfer Attempt

To ﬁx this, the default conﬁguration for LDEV 21 for the 99x has to be changed to

HP28639-60001 console terminal.

To change an improper conﬁguration for LDEV 21:

1. Call up the SYSGEN program:

: SYSGEN

2. Activate the IO Conﬁgurator by entering:

sysgen> IO

A-6
