Remote Management Of The Muxserver - Digital Equipment MUXserver 100 Reference Manual

Note that a terminal receives BROADCAST messages only when its
BROADCAST characteristic is enabled (see Chapter 2, Section 2.7.5, Port
Administration Characteristics).
3.1.4 Remote Management of the MUXserver 100
(By
Means of
the Ethernet)
If you are responsible for several MUXserver 100 systems, it may be conve-
nient for you (or the network manager) to manage them all from a centralloca-
tion. The server software permits you to use MUXserver 100 commands at a
single remote terminal rather than at terminals attached to each server.
The terminal, called a remote console, is connected locally to a node on the
same Ethernet as the servers. The node must have DECnet Phase IV software.
From the remote console, you have access to any MUXserver 100 and can use
the MUXserver 100 commands. Figure 3-1 shows a remote console on an
Ethernet.
