Hello all,

Circuit = DUP-0

      State = Cleared

Can anyone point me towards documentation on configuring a KDP/DUP on
RSX? I want to see the issues getting the KS10 simulator connected to
RSX for myself.

NCP>SET CIRCUIT DUP-0 STATE ON
NCP -- Set failed, component in wrong state, Line
NCP>SET LINE DUP-0 STATE ON
NCP -- Set failed, parameter not applicable, State
NCP>SET LINE KDP-0-0 STATE ON
NCP -- Set failed, parameter not applicable, State

It seems NCP on RSX is a bit different than on others. ;)

What does SHOW LINE DUP-0 CHAR and SHOW CIR DUP-0 CHAR show?

Oh, yeah. SHOW EXEC CHAR would also be helpful.

Thanks.

First of all:
PIP LB:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;/RM
:-)

Second. You have an endnode config, but I thought that would only prevent several circuits to be active at the same time. But anyway, you might want to do a new config as a routing node instead.

I'm a bit surprised that there would be no information about the DUP-0 line. But since I have not worked with DUP lines myself, I can't say for sure if that is expected. I'll try and find some more information.
