Chapter 3 MCC Terminal Configuration
Administration Guide 29
Customizing the MCC Terminal
It may be necessary to customize the MCC terminal settings for each
installation site if for example:
ƒ Multiple locations are involved in the configuration.
ƒ The MCC servers are on subnets other than the MCC terminal’s.
The config file for the customizations is /usr/tekxp/boot/config/xp.cnf.
Each section in the file contains all of the instructions provided by
Tektronix.
Enable the following settings in xp.cnf:
Setting Value
retain_x_settings NO
screen_saver OFF
keyboard_type 3270
Table 2 xp.cnf MCC Terminal Settings
The following sections outline the customizations that may be required.
For additional explanation, refer to the appropriate section in the xp.cnf
configuration file (described later in this Chapter).
Displaying Hosts on an XDMCP Menu Through a Router
There are two methods for displaying MCC servers listed on the XDMCP
which span routers. Both methods require hardcoding MCC hostnames
and IP addresses in configuration files:
ƒ Editing the HOSTS.TBL, GATEWAY.TBL, and the XP.CNF files. This
is the recommended method.
ƒ Editing the XP.CNF file only.
Recommended Method
This is the easiest and least complex way of displaying all MCC servers
listed on the XDMCP list. It is accomplished by editing the following three
files, all of which reside in the /usr/tekxp/boot/config directory:
ƒ HOSTS.TBL
ƒ GATEWAY.TBL
ƒ XP.CNF
The hosts.tbl should contain a list of all MCC servers and their IP
addresses. Use the following syntax:
