AST-PCOX TROUBLESHOOTING
|
|
|
|
|
|
The intent of this Technical Bulletin is to help the user of AST-
|
|
PCOX troubleshoot situations that may arise at installation time.
|
|
It is assumed that the user has read all manuals supplied by AST
|
|
for the installation procedure, and is familiar with all
|
|
terminology contained within.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM
|
|
The user has been able to successfully log on to the host and can
|
|
run all applications necessary. When the user tried to "boot
|
|
load" the basic file transfer, a message shows that the PC must
|
|
be logged onto the host before "boot load" can be performed.
|
|
|
|
SOLUTION
|
|
This is one possible situation where such an occurrence can
|
|
happen. If the 32xx controller and the host have the port, that
|
|
the PC is assigned to, defined as a graphics terminal, such as an
|
|
S3G, then the Professional Workstation Facility will not be able
|
|
to function. AST-PCOX only supports 3278 or 3279 Model 2, 3, and
|
|
4 in the "basic" configuration. The key here is that through the
|
|
logmode on the host, the user can redefine themselves without a
|
|
host reconfiguration. The user should contact their systems
|
|
programmer to find out how to use this feature because it is
|
|
different for every host. The following is an example used on an
|
|
IBM 4341 host running VTAM and CMS Release 3.
|
|
|
|
i.e., LOGON APPID,LOGMODE = M32782S
|
|
This example allows this user to logon to CMS as a 3278
|
|
Model 2, even though the host has him initially defined
|
|
as a 3279 Model S3G.
