AST-PCOX TROUBLESHOOTING
|
||
|
||
|
||
The intent of this Technical Bulletin is to help the user of AST-
|
||
PCOX troubleshoot situations that may arise at installation time.
|
||
It is assumed that the user has read all manuals supplied by AST
|
||
for the installation procedure, and is familiar with all
|
||
terminology contained within.
|
||
|
||
PROBLEM
|
||
The user has been able to successfully log on to the host and can
|
||
run all applications necessary. When the user tried to "boot
|
||
load" the basic file transfer, a message shows that the PC must
|
||
be logged onto the host before "boot load" can be performed.
|
||
|
||
SOLUTION
|
||
This is one possible situation where such an occurrence can
|
||
happen. If the 32xx controller and the host have the port, that
|
||
the PC is assigned to, defined as a graphics terminal, such as an
|
||
S3G, then the Professional Workstation Facility will not be able
|
||
to function. AST-PCOX only supports 3278 or 3279 Model 2, 3, and
|
||
4 in the "basic" configuration. The key here is that through the
|
||
logmode on the host, the user can redefine themselves without a
|
||
host reconfiguration. The user should contact their systems
|
||
programmer to find out how to use this feature because it is
|
||
different for every host. The following is an example used on an
|
||
IBM 4341 host running VTAM and CMS Release 3.
|
||
|
||
i.e., LOGON APPID,LOGMODE = M32782S
|
||
This example allows this user to logon to CMS as a 3278
|
||
Model 2, even though the host has him initially defined
|
||
as a 3279 Model S3G.
