Configuration Tips
The TCP port number selection can be of significance if the BCU/CAL is attached to a large or TCP protocol intensive
network. If you are unsure of TCP port usage on your network, consult you network administrator prior to assigning these
values. In general, beginning TCP port definition at 5000 is safe for most applications. A convenient rule of thumb is to
start at 5000, with the lower digits of the port reflecting the associated site number. For example, use TCP port number
5010 for site 10.
The parameters defined in CAL.DAT must be known when the Emulex terminal servers are to be configured. Have a
hard copy of this file available when you are ready to set up the terminal servers.
The System Manager must be properly configured to recognize the sites that the BCU/CAL is simulating. Be sure that
these sites have been defined and the passwords are correct prior to connection establishment attempts between the System
Manager and the BCU/CAL.
4.2.2. Initial Installation
The following section discusses software installation on a new BCU/CAL. An example of the expected terminal
display during this sequence is also provided. This example is annotated with comments indicating user activity/procedures
during the installation, as well as general information regarding the process.
PREREQUISITES
1. Verify that the BCU/CAL unit does not have power currently applied.
2. Verify that the BCU/CAL is correctly connected to a VT100-compatible terminal (user console), the IMC CAM,
and the local area network (LAN) (if applicable).
3. Verify that the user console is configured as follows:
a. 9600 baud, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no parity.
b. VT100 personality. Terminal is DTE.
c. No translation of CR to CR/LF.
d. Local echo off. Tab stop at 8 characters.
e. DCE/DTE handshaking off.
f. XON/XOFF flow control is optional. The BCU/CAL does support flow control.
4. Edit the user configuration files contained on Installation Diskette 4.
a. Edit the text file, IP.DAT, to define the unit’s Internet parameters on the local network. If the unit will not
have a network connection, the file IP.DAT may be left unmodified from that supplied with the release
distribution.
b. If initial routing entries are desired, edit the file ROUTES.DAT.
c. If the NFS feature is purchased, edit EXPORTS.DAT. It is a template file for configuring NFS clients of the
BCU/CAL. Client entries are specified as a BCU/CAL system disk directory, followed by the IP address of the
client permitted to mount it. A log file (1.2/log/nfs.log) is generated on each system boot. The log
summarizes processing of this file, indicating what has been exported, who received the export, and any errors
encountered in this file. This file is processed during the application loading (boot) phase only. Modifications
made after the unit is up and running will take effect during the next system boot.
