                                            Installation Overview




             This chapter discussesthe steps forinstalling the
             3270 Terminal Optionsoftware and liststhe files
             created by theinstallation. It also discussesthe
             post installation tasks.

                                     NOTE

                        Thismanual refers tothe 3270
                        TerminalOption software asthe
                        3270software.

          1.1 Overview of theInstallation Steps

             Installing the 3270Terminal Option distribution
             software involves thefollowing steps:

              _ Performing preinstallation procedures

              _ Installing the 3270Terminal Option softwareon a

                load host

              _ Performing postinstallation procedures

              _ Verifying that the3270 software isfunctioning

             You install the3270 Terminal Optionsoftware onto a
             load host runningthe VMS V5.0software.

          Installation Overview                               1-1

 






             VMSINSTAL is aninteractive procedure thatis part
             of the VMSoperating system. You useVMSINSTAL to
             install the 3270Terminal Option softwareonto a
             VMS system. The 3270software distribution kit
             includes a procedurefile that VMSINSTALuses to do
             the following:

              _ Copies the

                3270 Terminal Optionfiles from thedistribution
                media into theSYS$SYSROOT:[DECSERVER]
                server directory onthe load host. For
                VAXclusters, VMSINSTAL copiesthe files into
                SYS$COMMON:[DECSERVER]. If a[DECSERVER] directory
                does not alreadyexist on theload host, VMSINSTAL
                creates this directory.

              _ Optionally prints acopy of the3270 Terminal

                Option release notes.

              _ Optionally runs theInstallation Verification

                Procedure (IVP).

             Refer to theGuide to VAX/VMSSoftware Installation
             manual for acomplete description ofVMSINSTAL.

             Installing the 3270software creates thefollowing
             files on theVMS load host:

              _ CXM$FIRMWARE.SYS

              _ CXM$NORTH_AMERICAN.KEYS

              _ CXM$BRITISH.KEYS

              _ CXM$FRENCH.KEYS

              _ CXM$GERMAN.KEYS

              _ CXM$IVP.COM

              _ CXM010.RELEASE_NOTES

          1-2    3270Terminal Option SoftwareInstallation (VMS)

 






             CXM$FIRMWARE.SYS is the3270 Terminal Option
             software, the KEYSfiles are keyboardtranslation
             table files, theCXM$IVP.COM is theInstallation
             Verification Procedure, andCXM010.RELEASE_NOTES is
             the 3270 TerminalOption release notes.

             Once installed, the3270 software mustbe appended
             to the DECserver500 V2.0 imageon the loadhost (see
             Chapter 3). The imagemust then bedown-line loaded to
             the server hardware(see Section 3.3)containing the
             CXM04 line card. Theserver then automaticallyloads
             the 3270 softwareonto the CXM04line card.

             Note that down-lineloading a DECserver500 server
             image without the3270 software disablesthe ports
             associated with theCXM04 line card. Whenthis occurs,
             the server givesthe CXM04 devicestatus as "WrgTyp"
             in the SHOWDEVICES display.

             To verify thatthe 3270 softwareand hardware are
             installed properly, entera few servercommands from
             a 3270 terminalattached to theCXM04 line card(see
             Chapter 4).

          1.2 Prerequisite and OptionalProducts

             The 3270 TerminalOption Software ProductDescription
             contains a listof prerequisite andoptional products
             for the 3270Terminal Option software.

             This chapter explainshow to preparefor installation
             and how toinstall the 3270Terminal Option software
             onto a VMSV5.0 system.

          2.1 Contents of the3270 Terminal OptionDistribution Kit

             The 3270 TerminalOption distribution kitconsists of
             the following:

              _ Operational software forthe CXM04 linecard

              _ Keyboard language tablefiles

              _ Release notes

              _ Software documentation kit

          2.2 Preparing for Installation

             You use theVMSINSTAL procedure toinstall 3270
             Terminal Option software. TheVMSINSTAL procedure
             requires the VMSoperating system. Refer tothe 3270
             Terminal Option Software(VMS) Software Product
             Description (SPD) forsupported versions ofVMS. The




     Installing the3270 Terminal OptionDistribution Software  2-1

 






             3270 Terminal Optionsoftware installation requires
             only one tailoringclass: VMS Required Saveset.

             Check the followingitems before installingthe 3270
             software.

              _ Ensure that theCXM04 line cardis or willbe

                installed in theserver hardware.

              _ Determine the VMSV5.0 load host(s)on which you

                want to installthe 3270 software.

              _ Ensure that theVMS V5.0 loadhost(s) have orwill

                have DECserver 500V2.0 software installed.

              _ Ensure that youhave appropriate privilegesto run

                VMSINSTAL.COM from thesystem manager's account.
                (Refer to theVMS System Manager'sManual for a
                list of thenecessary privileges.)

              _ Back up thesystem disk (optional,but

                recommended).

              _ Check for adequatedisk space. The 3270

                distribution software requires450 blocks offree
                disk space onthe VMS loadhost; however, peak
                block usage is500 blocks.

          2.3 Installing the Softwareon the LoadHost

             The installation proceduretakes approximately oneto
             two minutes. This sectiondiscusses the stepsthat you
             take to installthe 3270 software.

             Installation Notes

              1.If you wishto abort theinstallation procedure
                at any time,enter <CTRL/Y>. The installation
                procedure then deletesall files ithas created
                up to thatpoint and returnsyou to theDCL level.
                You must invokeVMSINSTAL again toretry the

              2.You can installthe 3270 TerminalOption software
                before installing theDECserver 500 V2.0software.
                However, in orderto append the3270 software to
                the server image(see Chapter 3),the DECserver
                500 software mustbe installed. Refer tothe
                DECserver 500 SoftwareInstallation (VMS) manual
                for information aboutinstalling the DECserver500
                software on aVMS load host.

              3.Notice that the3270 Terminal Optionsoftware
                is sometimes calledCXM in theinstallation
                procedure.

             Installation Procedure

             Perform the followingsteps to installthe
             distribution software:

             Step 1: Place the3270 distribution mediumon the
             appropriate device drive.

             Step 2: Log theinstallation procedure.

             Digital Equipment Corporationrecommends that youlog
             the installation procedurewith the followingcommand
             before you invokeVMSINSTAL.

               $ SET HOST/LOG node-name <RET>

             Here, node-name isthe name ofyour system.

             Step 3: Invoke VMSINSTAL.

             Invoking VMSINSTAL.COM requiresthe appropriate
             privileges. Refer to theVMS System Manager'sManual
             for a listof the necessaryprivileges.

             Log in tothe system manageraccount, and enterthe
             following commands:

               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE <RET>
               $ @VMSINSTAL CXM device-identifier OPTIONS N <RET>

             Here, CXM isthe VMS three-letterfacility
             code for the3270 Terminal Optionproduct, and
             device-identifier is thedevice on whichthe
             distribution medium ismounted.

             OPTIONS N isan optional parameterthat indicates that
             you want tobe prompted todisplay or printthe 3270
             Terminal Option ReleaseNotes. If you donot include
             the OPTIONS Nparameter, VMSINSTAL doesnot prompt
             you to displayor print therelease notes. Digital
             Equipment Corporation stronglyrecommends that
             you use OPTIONSN and readthe release notesbefore
             proceeding with thisinstallation. If you donot want
             to print therelease notes orif you areinterested in
             other VMSINSTAL options,see the VMSSystem Manager's
             Manual, which ispart of theVMS documentation set.

             Step 4: Answer theVMSINSTAL questions:

             VMSINSTAL displays theprocedure title andthe date
             and time.

               It is da-mon-year at hh:mm.

             VMSINSTAL then continueswith the following(the
             warning message appearsonly if DECnetis running).

               %VMSINSTAL-W-DECNET, Your DECnet network is up and running.
               * Do you want to continue anyway [NO]?

              1.Type Y; thenpress <RET> toanswer YES andproceed
                with the installation.

                VMSINSTAL asks:

                  * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]?

              2.If backup issatisfactory, press theRETURN key to
                answer YES (thedefault).

                If you answerNO, the installationprocedure
                terminates. Take appropriate actionand start the
                procedure again.

                If you areinstalling from thedistribution media
                rather than fromcopied savesets, VMSINSTAL
                prompts you tomount the firstvolume, which you
                did at step1:

                  Please mount the first volume of the set on device-identifier.
                  * Are you ready:

              3.Type YES andpress the RETURNkey. A confirmation
                message says thatthe medium ismounted. The
                procedure continues.

           Appendingthe 3270 Softwareto the DECserver500 Software




             This chapter describeshow to configurethe DECserver
             500 software sothat it includesthe 3270 software.
             This chapter alsodiscusses VT terminalkeyboard
             languages supported bythe 3270 softwareand the
             down-line loading ofthe 3270 softwareto the CXM04
             line card inthe server hardwareunit.


          3.1 Configuring the DECserver500 Software

             Once you installthe 3270 software,you need toappend
             it to theDECserver 500 V2.0image on theload host.
             You do thisby configuring theDECserver 500 software
             to include the3270 Terminal Optionsoftware. The
             3270 software controlsthe operation ofthe CXM04 line
             card.

             If the DECserver500 software isnot already
             installed, install itand use TSCor TSM toconfigure
             the DECserver 500software and the3270 Terminal
             Option software. TSC isincluded in theDECserver
             500 V2.0 softwareinstallation kit andis meant
             specifically for configuringthe server image. TSMis
             an optional softwareproduct that managesall Digital
             Equipment Corporation terminalservers. The DECserver




      Appendingthe 3270 Softwareto the DECserver500 Software  3-1

 






             500 Software Installation(VMS) manual describeshow
             to install theDECserver 500 software.

             If this isthe first timethat a CXM04line card is
             being defined inthe DECserver 500V2.0 server image,
             TSC or TSMautomatically appends the3270 software to
             that server image. Thisoccurs when youexecute the
             TSC or TSMDEFINE DEVICE TYPEcommand (you specify
             CXM04 as thedevice type).

             To configure theDECserver 500 V2.0software, you need
             to know howmany 3270 terminalsare attached tothe
             CXM04 line card. Checkwith the servermanager to find
             out if theCXM04 line cardhardware is configuredfor
             four or eightterminals. Your software andthe CXM04
             line card configurationmust be configuredfor the
             same number ofterminals.

             You can configurethe DECserver 500V2.0 software
             so that the3270 Terminal Optionsoftware supports
             either four oreight terminals onthe CXM04 linecard
             as follows:

              _ Configuration 4. Four 3270terminals (the default)

                allow the terminalsto operate indynamic mode.
                In dynamic mode,a 3270 terminaluser can switch
                between VT modeand 3270 mode. In3270 mode, 3270
                terminal users canaccess IBM resourcesthrough the
                local IBM clustercontrol unit (CCU).You can use
                the TSC/TSM DEFINEPORT command torestrict any of
                the four terminalsto VT modeor to 3270mode.

              _ Configuration 8. Eight 3270terminals allow the

                terminals to operatein VT modeonly. In VT mode,
                the terminals behaveas VT220 terminals,and 3270
                users can accessDigital Equipment Corporation's
                resources only onthe local areanetwork.

             The following exampleconfigures the softwarefor
             the CXM04 linecard to operatein both modes,but
             restricts port 2to VT mode:

               TSC> DEFINE DEVICE LC1 TYPE CXM04 CONFIGURATION 4 <RET>
               TSC> DEFINE PORT 2 MODE VT <RET>

             Refer to theDECserver 500 Managementmanual for
             additional information abouthow the CXM04line card
             operates. Notice that thecommand in thisexample
             appended the 3270Terminal Option tothe DECserver 500
             server image.

          3.2 Defining a VTLanguage for 3270Terminals

             The 3270 softwaresupports four VTterminal keyboard
             languages. The default languageis North American. If
             you want toreplace an existinglanguage in theserver
             image, use thefollowing procedure:

              1.First, use thefollowing TSC commandto display
                a list ofthe languages currentlydefined in the
                server image.

                  TSC> LIST LANGUAGES <RET>

              2.Then, use thePURGE command toremove one ofthe
                existing four languagesfrom the serverimage. For
                example:

                  TSC> PURGE LANGUAGE FRENCH <RET>

              3.Next, use theTSC DEFINE LANGUAGEcommand to append
                your language tothe DECserver 500V2.0 server
                image. For example, thefollowing example appends
                the language GERMANto the serverimage:

                  TSC> DEFINE LANGUAGE GERMAN FILE FOO::SYS$COMMON:[DECSERVER]CXM$GERMAN.KEYS <RET>

                                        NOTE

                           TSCand TSM preventyou from
                           purgingall of thelanguages
                           fromthe server image. The
                           serverimage must consist
                           ofat least onelanguage in
                           orderto down-line loadand
                           operate.

                Refer to theDECserver 500 Managementmanual for
                more information aboutadding languages tothe
                server image.

              4.Finally, the defaultkeyboard language, North
                American, is ineffect for yourterminal when
                you first startup the server. Usethe VT Set-Up
                feature to setup the desiredkeyboard language
                for your 3270terminal (refer tothe 3270 Terminal
                Option Use manual).

          3.3 Down-Line Loading theServer Image

             Once you configurethe 3270 softwarein the server
             image, you needto down-line loadthat image tothe
             server hardware. The DECserver500 Management manual
             describes how todown-line load theserver image.
             After the serverimage is down-lineloaded, the server
             loads the 3270software onto theCXM04 line card.
             This line cardthen becomes operationalfor the 3270
             terminal ports.

             Chapter 4 explainshow to verifythat the 3270
             software is installedproperly.

                                        Verifyingthe Installation




             This chapter describeshow to verifythe 3270 software
             installation. The commands describedmust be issued
             at a 3270terminal connected toa CXM04 linecard
             port. The sample installationassumes that the3270
             Terminal Option softwareis appended tothe server
             image to operatefour 3270 terminalson the CXM04line
             card (see Chapter3). These four 3270terminals can
             access Digital EquipmentCorporation resources onthe
             local area network. Theterminals can alsoaccess IBM
             resources through thelocal IBM clustercontrol unit
             (CCU).

             The installation verificationprocedures described in
             this chapter arenot associated withthe Installation
             Verification Procedure inVMSINSTAL (Chapter 2). The
             procedures here verifyspecifically that the3270
             software is runningproperly on theterminal server
             with the CXM04line card installed.

             The procedures consistof the followingtasks:

              1.Switching the 3270terminal from 3270mode to VT
                mode

              2.Logging in tothe server

              3.Entering a fewserver commands


          4.1 Switching from 3270Mode to VTMode

             If your terminalport supports both3270 mode andVT
             mode (see Section3.1), your terminalstarts in 3270
             mode when youfirst boot orreboot the server. When
             your terminal ispowered off andpowered up again,
             the mode thatyou were usingat power offremains in
             effect.

             In 3270 mode,the IBM screenis displayed onyour
             screen. To switch from3270 mode toVT mode, enterthe
             default hot-key sequence<ALT> + <SHIFT>. (Holddown
             the ALT keyand press theSHIFT key; thenrelease both
             keys.) Or, enter thealternative sequence <SYSREQ>
             + <SYSREQ>. If youare using aPC that requiresan
             alternate hotkey sequence,enter <ALT> +<BACKSPACE>.
             You can alsouse the hot-keysequence alternative
             <SYSREQ> + <SYSREQ>. Referto the DECserver500
             Management manual foradditional information about
             enabling the alternatekey.

             When you switchto VT mode,your terminal clears
             the main partof of your3270 screen. Your terminal
             then displays "VTMode" in thebottom left corner
             of your screen. Thisarea of thescreen is knownas
             the operator informationarea. The 3270 Terminal
             Option Use manualdescribes the VTfeatures that are
             available to 3270terminal users. Once "VTMode" is
             displayed, you needto log into your serverto use
             network services.

                                     NOTE

                        Ifyour terminal isrestricted
                        toVT mode or3270 mode, the
                        hot-keysequence does notswitch
                        yourterminal to theother mode.

          4.2 Logging In tothe Server

             Once your 3270terminal is inVT mode, login to the
             server by pressingthe 3270 keythat corresponds to
             the VT RETURNkey (on most3270 keyboards, thisis the
             NEWLINE key) severaltimes until youget a response.
             If the log-inpassword is enabledfor your port,the
             server responds byprompting you witha pound signas
             follows:

               # password (does not display) <RET>

             After you enterthe log-in password,or if apassword
             was not required,the server displaysa log-in message
             and issues aprompt. The prompt thatthe server issues
             depends on whetheryou defined apermanent user name
             for your port:

              _ Local mode prompt: Ifthe server displaysthe

                local mode prompt,you can beginentering server
                commands. A permanent username is definedfor your
                port.

              _ User name prompt: Ifthe server promptsyou for a

                user name (Enterusername>), you mustenter a user
                name for yourport.

             If the serverprompts you fora user name,enter either
             a 1- to20-character name thatidentifies you toother
             users on theserver. to assign theport name asyour
             user name. You canalso use VT<CTRL/Z> (or thekey
             on your keyboardthat corresponds toVT <CTRL/Z>) to
             assign the portname as youruser name.

             In the followingexample, the userenters "BJ" asthe
             user name:
