IntroductionINTRODUCTIONTCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual1
IntroductionThis manual provides the information required to operate and maintain theAX3000 Platine Terminal.The manual is organised into the following chapters and appendices:Chapter 1: A look at the AX3000Introduction to the AX3000’s main features.Chapter 2: Quick set-upThe quick set-up procedure provides a fast and reliable AX3000 installation.Chapter 3: Interactive set-upDescription of the embedded interactive set-up. This procedure can be usedto set up the network environment, the 8 virtual terminals (i.e. sessions) andthe 3 auxiliary ports.Chapter 4: Using the AX3000How to use the multi-session feature and how to shutdown the AX3000.Chapter 5: Installing under UNIXAX3000 installation under UNIX and description of the UNIX dedicatedfeatures (tty server and multi-shell).Chapter 6: Installing under AS/400AX3000 installation under AS/400 and description of the AS/400 dedicatedfeatures.Chapter 7: Tools and statisticsDescription of the embedded AX3000 tools (ping, statistics, etc).2TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual
IntroductionChapter 8: Remote set-upAn AX3000’s settings can be stored in a script (a text file). This script can beused to set-up additional AX3000 terminals.Chapter 9: Firmware downloadingHow to download the AX3000 firmware by using the tftp and bootp protocols.Appendices:The following appendices give more detailed information:A.1 - Using the AX3000 interactive set-upA.2 - Network overview (Ethernet address, IP address and routers)A.3 - Adding an LPD printer within an operating systemA.4 - Installing the AXEL tty server on UNIXA.5 - Setting-up virtual terminals (i.e. sessions)A.6 - Underline attribute processingA.7 - Using rcmd/rshA.8 - AX3000 configuration scriptA.9 - Using DHCP to assign AX3000 IP addressA.10 - Login scriptA.11 - Default factory set-up and quick set-upA.12 - Hardware and firmware informationA.13 - Trouble-shootingA.14 - Administration command listTCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual3

A Look at the AX3000This chapter introduces the main features of the AXEL TCP/IP terminal.1.1 - TERMINAL FUNCTIONEach TCP/IP AXEL terminal can operate as up to eight concurrent andindependent virtual terminals.With this virtual terminal capability, an AX3000 can provide multiple connectionsacross a network. Each virtual terminal can be:- connected
across a network. Each virtual terminal can be: - connected to any TCP/IP networked host, - set, using independent parameters (emulation, function keys, colour video attributes, etc). Keystrokes can be easily programmed to open or flip between sessions. The number of virtual
