how to test/set the 90L+

[Doug Phillips]

You won't get Username: Password: until you connect to a VMS service. SHOW D will show which ports are assigned to which dedicated service. If a port is assigned to a dedicated service the terminal will automatically connect to that service and not stop at the -> prompt. Otherwise, with no dedicated service you must type in the name of the service at the -> prompt to connect.

Does Port 3 show the name of a dedictated service after it? If not, you need to set it.

To use SET D to set a dedicated service for port 3 you must type SET and press [ENTER], then type D and press [ENTER], then type 3 and press [ENTER], then enter the name of the dedicated service you want to connect to.

Hi SCC,
90l+ has different menu from 90M and other decserver.
You must enter in consol mode then:
1) you can see port charactareistics
DS90> SHO PORT
2) you can reset
DS90> RESET
server
port 1
...
type 3 (for port 3)
3) you can change port configuratio
DS90> SET
port 1
...
port 8
...
type 3 and follow menu
Warning: 90L+ has not volatile memory so every change is immediatly stored.

Good Luck!

SCC,
you can test only send/receive data. In command set, port if you enable autotest port make echo of every character.
