3.1.4.1 Setting Up a Remote Console -
To set up a remote console, use the
network control facility for the node system where the console terminal is at-
tached. The system manager and the operating system documentation can as-
sist you. For most operating systems, a single network management command
establishes the link to the MUXserver 100.
To disconnect the remote console from the server, you enter another command
that returns you to the node system's command mode. This command also de-
pends upon the operating system being used.
As an example of setting up a remote console, here is the procedure for the
V AXNMS operating system.
Type the following commands to gain access to the Network Control Program
(NCP). [The dollar sign
($)
is the system prompt].
$
NCP
When you receive the NCP prompt, enter either the NCP CONNECT NODE
or CONNECT VIA command. Here is the syntax for each:
CONNECT NODE server-node-name
CONNECT VIA UNA-O PHYSICAL ADDRESS Ethernet-address
Use the CONNECT NODE command if the node is a load host which has the
MUXserver 100 configured in its database.
Use the CONNECT VIA command
if
the server has not been configured in the
node's database. The system manager can assist you.
When the NCP CONNECT comn1and executes successfully, press <RET> on
the terminal. The following message and a pound sign
(#)
prompt appear (an
audible beep signal accompanies the prompt):
Console connected (press CTRl/O when finished>
#
The prompt indicates that the link to the server has been made and you must
enter the login password. Following successful login, you can begin using
MUXserver 100 commands.
To terminate a remote console session on the V
AXNMS
node, enter < CTRL/
D >. The service node prompt re-appears. Control passes again to the V AX/
VMS system.
