Setting up an X Terminal
To setup the X terminal:
Caution: The X Terminal monitor weighs over 70 lbs.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions included with
unit for correctly cabling the unit.
3. Power on the monitor and the base unit.
4. While the blue boot screen is displayed, press the space bar to stop
the X terminal from attempting to boot. If this is not successful,
power off the X terminal and retry. The BOOT> prompt appears.
Enter the information from steps 6 through 14 and 16 at this
prompt. Use the ? key for help; note the “re” command will list
some current settings.
5. Enter
ia X.X.X.X
where X.X.X.X is the IP address for the terminal. Define this IP
address in your MCC host server’s /etc/hosts file, or the server will
not recognize the X terminal and will not allow it to boot.
6. Enter
ih Y.Y.Y.Y
where Y.Y.Y.Y is the IP address of the MCC server. Ensure you
can successfully ping Y.Y.Y.Y before doing an NVS (in step 14). If
not, the X terminal will hang on boot.
7. Enter
im K.K.K.K
Alternatively it is possible to enter the appropriate subnet mask.
8. To set IP address of a gateway (router for T1), enter ig Z.Z.Z.Z
only if one exists. Ensure the gateway can be pinged before you do
an NVS.
9. Set the X software to execute (set the boot path). For X terminal
Model XP400, use the following settings:
ƒ Ethernet X terms: bp /usr/tekxp/boot/os.350
ƒ Token Ring X terms: bp /usr/tekxp/boot/os-tr.350
ƒ X terminal Test Menu: bp /usr/tekxp/boot/selftest.350
ƒ For X terminal Model NC400, use the following:
ƒ Ethernet X terms: bp /usr/tekxp/boot/os.500
