Set Tga_Sync_Green; Setting Up A Serial Terminal To Run The Alphabios Console And The Ecu - Digital Equipment 3300R Service Manual

set tga_sync_green

The tga_sync_green environment variable sets the location of the SYNC signal generated
by the ZLXp-E PCI graphics accelerator card.
The correct setting, displayed with the show command, is:
>>> show tga_sync_green
tga_sync_green
If the monitor does not synchronize, set the parameter as follows:
>>> set tga_sync_green 00
This command sets all graphics cards to synchronize on a separate vertical SYNC line, as
required by some monitors. See the monitor documentation for all other information.
Setting Up a Serial Terminal to Run the AlphaBIOS Console and the
ECU
You can run the ECU and interface with the AlphaBIOS console from either a VGA-
compatible graphics monitor or from a serial terminal (VT200 terminal or higher, or
equivalent). Graphics is the default. If you use the serial line, refer to Table 6-4 for serial
line equivalents to graphics line keyboard commands. To use a serial terminal with
AlphaBIOS or the ECU:
1. Invoke the terminal setup utility as described in the documentation for the serial
terminal and change settings as follows:
•
From the General menu, set the terminal mode to VTxxx, 8-bit controls.
•
From the Comm menu, set the character format to 8 bit, no parity, and set receive
XOFF to 128 or greater.
•
From the Keyboard menu, set the keyboard so that the tilde (~) key sends the escape
(ESC) signal.
2. Enter the following commands at the SRM console prompt to set the console terminal
to receive input in serial mode:
>>> set console serial
>>> init
.
. !Now switch to the serial terminal)
>>> show console
console serial
