With X11 Release 13 and later, Directory Number Expansion (DNXP) is
introduced to allow an internal DN to have up to seven digits. If this package
is equipped, any BGD command, response, or display containing a DN field
is expanded to accommodate up to seven digits.
After service change, the BGD is ready for use with unrestricted access to
Background features. The customer or user may want to change certain
system criteria or impose certain system and/or terminal restrictions by
changing the BGD option settings. This, in effect, customizes the BGD
arrangement to suit the needs of the customer.
All BGD TTYs are assigned Physical SDI Device Numbers associated with
their assigned ports. The ports or terminals in your system each have a
number to identify them, and they can also be assigned a two-letter port ID.
In order to print something at a terminal other than the one at which you are
typing, that terminal must have a port ID. The port ID can be two letters or a
letter and a number. It cannot be completely numeric.
The following combinations of letters cannot be used, because they are used
in commands:
AU, FI, IS, LO, ME, OP, PO, PR, SE, ST, TR, WA
To assign a two-letter port ID to a terminal:
SEt OPtion IDentifier nn id <CR>
where:
nn = port number
id = two-letter ID
To change the port ID of a terminal:
SEt OPtion ID oldname newname <CR>
