[Info-vax] terminal servers etc

[David Froble]

Going to post this, as I've always found setting up a terminal server to 
be a cross between easy and arcaine.  If you already know all this, then 
just ignore the post.

To get to the terminal server, use the NCP utility,

MCR NTP

NTP>

To access the terminal server, you can specify the server name or 
physical address in the CONNECT command (I'm skipping steps here, such 
as making the terminal server a known node).

NCP>connect node srvr3
Console connected (press CTRL/D when finished)

#

When you enter a <CR> you'll get the # prompt.  This expects a password 
to get into the terminal server.  I always forget.  The default is "ACCESS".

Network Access SW V2.2 for DS90M  (BL29-52)

Please type HELP if you need assistance

Enter username> dfe

Local>

Note, the "Local>" prompt can be changes, so if you see something else, 
that's what has happened.

Some commands are only available to priviledged users, including the 
HELP for those commands, I believe.  The HELP available will assist you.

To gain privs, type "SET PRIV".  It will ask for a password.  The 
default is "SYSTEM".

What you're looking for is "PREFERRED SERVICE".  This should get you 
started.
