Downloading From A Dec Vms Host Computer - Brother NC-series User Manual

Downloading from a DEC VMS Host Computer

The download procedure for DEC computers is basically identical to the
procedure for downloading a DEC terminal server. If MOP is not running
on your host computer, enter the following VMS commands to enable it:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
NCP> SHOW CIRCUIT QNA-0 CHARACTERISTIC
NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 STATE OFF
NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLE
NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 STATE ON
NCP> DEFINE CIRCUIT QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLE
NCP> SHOW CIRCUIT QNA-0 CHARACTERISTIC
NCP> EXIT
Refer to the documentation included with your VMS system and/or your
terminal server if you need additional information on starting MOP. The
load file e.g. Firmname.BIN must be installed in the directory
SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM]. The best way to copy this file from
diskette is to use the NFT (Network File Transfer) utility included with
PATHWORKS, making sure that you copy in image mode with a
maximum record size (MRS) of 512 bytes as shown in the following
example:
COPY/IMAGE/MRS=512 Firmname.BIN host :: directory
where host is the name of the VAX host computer and directory is the
VMS load directory (for example,
VAX::SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM]. Note that you must specify
both /IMAGE and /MRS=512 because the copy command defaults to DOS
stream mode and 128 byte records.
Make sure that the system logical MOM$LOAD is set correctly by verifying
that the following line is in your site startup file:
$DEF/SYSTEM/EXEC/NOLOG MOM$LOAD -
SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM]
If there are other directories listed in the same command, add the server
directory (if necessary) to the list separated by commas. If this command
does not exist, type it in at the VMS "$" prompt and also add it to the
startup file using the VMS editor.
Now use NCP to access the print server remote and type:
SET LOAD SOFTWARE Firmname.BIN
SET LOAD ENABLE
in response to the Local> prompt.
When you type a CTRL-D to exit the remote console, the file
Firmname.BIN will then be loaded into the print server. The red TEST
LED will blink during the load process and will go out when the process is
complete.
