Full-Feature Workstation Software
A full-feature workstation is a desktop computer running the full-feature workstation application
software and connected to either the 6800 Series NMS host computer or UIP by means of a local
area network. This workstation may be the Altos 486DX/33, the Altos SX/20 which was running
under a previous release of NMS, a Sun workstation running the UNIX Operating System, or a
generic X-terminal.
The Altos 386 SX20 requires a total of 4 megabytes of memory. The 486DX/33 has 4 megabytes
of memory installed at the factory but requires the insertion of the following line in the
CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=C:\/DOS\/EMM386.EXE 2048 M4
The Paradise Windows Accelerator Video card has been tested with the GrafPoint X-One package.
The Altos 386 SX20 internal video card is incompatible with the GrafPoint X-One package and
must be replaced.
The mouse pointer speed may need to be adjusted according to the user’s preferences. To
accomplish this, perform the following steps once X-One is installed and running.
1. PRESS: Alt-SysRq
2. The X-One main menu appears; use the
↓↑
keys to select the Setup menu item.
3. The Setup menu appears; select Mouse...
4. The Mouse Settings window appears. Click the sensitivity level up to increase the mouse
speed or click the level down to reduce the speed. To exit from the Mouse Settings
window, click on the exit/quit button at the top right of the window.
5. Click the right mouse button on the window’s top bar and choose quit from the pull- down
menu.
NOTE
You can also convert the 6820 NMS host processor to a full-feature
workstation for the 6800 Series NMS. See Chapter 7, Performing
Migration, for details.
There are many different configurations for the NMS full-feature workstation. Among the most
frequently used configurations are a 386-based or 486-based processor using an EtherLink II card,
a 386-based or 486-based processor using a StarLAN 10 NAU card, or the same processors using a
Proteon Token Ring card.
This section contains multiple independent procedures. These procedures must be combined to
complete the installation of the full-feature workstation. The lists below show which procedures
must be combined for the different LAN configurations.
