Connect MSA1000 Console to COM2 on DS25 running OpenVMS

[Raoul Golsteyn]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.

I have a DS25 running OpenVMS 7.3-2 connected to a MSA1000. I have connected the MSA Controller console via the RJ45Z-DB9 cable to COM2 on the DS25.
In OpenVMS I do a SET HOST/DTE TTA0: (TTA0: is the port for COM2)

I receive the following error messages. I get some out put on the screen and can type commands.

ROCHA1_SYSTEM>set host/dte tta0:

%REM-I-TOQUIT, connection established

Press Ctrl/\ to quit, Ctrl/@ for command mode




ROCHA1_MSA>> help

%REM-E-PORTRXERR, port receive error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVERUN, data overrun


Possible command verbs:
? help add c

%REM-E-PORTRXERR, port receive error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVERUN, data overrun
opy change download
delete

%REM-E-PORTRXERR, port receive error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVERUN, data overrun

These are my settings of the Terminal Port TTA0:
I think some of the parameters are wrongly ste. I have tried several changes but continue to have the errros
%REM-E-PORTRXERR, port receive error
-SYSTEM-W-DATAOVERUN, data overrun

ROCHA1_SYSTEM>show term tta0:

Has anybody already tried something like this?

All help/suggestions are welcome.

Yu may try to set the terminal to /HOSTSYNCH
or /ALTYPEAHD to use a bigger input buffer.

Kalle,

Thank you

I had changed either of the paramters mentionned, but I had never both parameters active. It works now

Once more Many thanks.
