DAS System User Manual
Use the Configuration utility to check or set the various parameters for operating
the system. In most cases, you will use this tool to check or set the network
addresses used to enable communications between the instrument and the host or
color terminal. Use the utility to set the operating mode and to save, restore, or
delete system software images. You can also use the utility to check the results of
the power-on diagnostics.
The utility loads onto the hard disk when you initially install the system
software. To start the utility, power on the instrument with DIP switch #1 in the
down position and type /config at the BOOT?> prompt.
The Configuration utility is mainly intended for use with network systems or
with systems with X terminals. However, a console terminal is required to
display status or error messages while using the utility. You can also use the
Serial window of an X terminal for this purpose if you do not have an external
console terminal.
The utility does not make use of any special characteristics of any terminal. The
utility assumes that the terminal can display 80 characters per line and at least
24 lines per screen. No special character positioning or highlighting is used.
The Configuration utility is required under the following conditions:
When you change networking parameters
When you change the operating mode
When you need to update the terminal Flash ROM
When you need to check the results of the power-on diagnostics and
configuration (if the system menus do not display)
The basic utility consists of a main menu and several submenus. Each menu has
a list of selections to choose from and lists the current values of the parameters.
A Help selection is also available for each menu item.
