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.
