[HECnet] VCF-East on HECnet?

[Hans-Ulrich H lscher]

Hi,

to all who are interested in trying the new DMC11 network device within the simh prototype (available from Rob, see his mail), here is a short instruction how to configure it under DECnet/VAX:

DECnet/VAX Setup for DMC11s

If you haven't set up DECnet using netconfig.com yet, so do it now.
The netconfig.com command procedure will recognize and set up your DMC11(s) automatically.

Otherwise (DECnet already configured, e.g for Ethernet), do:

$! ==================================================================
$! Setup for two DMC11s, DMC-0 and DMC-1
$! ==================================================================
$   RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
        SET EXECUTOR STATE SHUT
        DEFINE LINE       DMC-0 STATE ON
        DEFINE CIRCUIT DMC-0 STATE ON COST 5
        DEFINE LINE       DMC-1 STATE ON
        DEFINE CIRCUIT DMC-1 STATE ON COST 5
$!
$   @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTNET
$!

That's all!

When everything's o.k. (including your network partner's DMC11) the following command should show the line state "on" a while after DECnet has been started:

$ MC NCP SHOW KNOWN LINES

Known Line Volatile Summary as of   4-NOV-2012 11:22:33

    Line                         State

  DMC-0                         on

NCP>

More or less unwanted states:

  DMC-0                         on             -starting

means: still trying to connect to the other side ..., should be gone after a maximum of 30 seconds, otherwise there is a problem 

  DMC-0                         on             -synchronizing

shows up when the other side has been connected, but is not synchronized yet, usually doesn't last longer than a second or two 


To get rid of one or more DMC11s, just do:

$! ==================================================================
$! Removal of e.g. second DMC11 DMC-1
$! ==================================================================
$   RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
        SET CIRCUIT DMC-1 STATE OFF
        PURGE CIRCUIT DMC-1 ALL
        CLEAR CIRCUIT DMC-1 ALL
        SET LINE DMC-1 STATE OFF
        PURGE LINE DMC-1 ALL
        CLEAR LINE DMC-1 ALL
$!

Hope this helps - if not, ask for more!

Regards,

Ulli
