•
A31810 is the name of the interface driver (without the .IDV extension) for the circuit
board the terminal is connected to. The ports on an Eagle 450 use these interface drivers:
•
A31810: The eight serial ports on the AM-138 system board
•
A31810: Ports on an AM-318-10 board
•
AM318: Ports on an AM-318-00 or -02 board
•
AM314: Ports on an AM-314 board
•
1 is the number of the port the terminal is attached to. The port number is octal, and
depends on the port the terminal is attached to on the I/O board, and the I/O expansion slot
the board is in. This table gives the port numbers for each board type/slot combination:
Expansion Slot J7 J8 J9
Any AM-318 (-00,
-02, or -10)
10-17 20-27 30-37
AM-314 10-13 20-23 30-33
Use these numbers even if it means you skip some numbers. For example, if you have an
AM-314 board in J7 and an AM-318-10 in J8, the AM-318-10 ports are numbered from
20-27, and numbers 14-17 are not used.
The eight ports on the AM-138 are numbered from 0-7.
•
19200 is the baud rate of the terminal.
•
ALPHA is the name of the terminal driver. ALPHA can be used for most Alpha Micro
terminals; you can change this to a driver specifically for the terminal if one exists.
•
200,200,200 are buffer sizes, expressed in number of characters. Different situations may
require other buffer sizes, but this is typical.
•
EDITOR=15 enables the line editor for this terminal. See the
AMOS User's Guide
for
more information on the line editor.
5. Use a SETJOB statement for each terminal defined in a TRMDEF statement to link it to a job
defined in a JOBALC statement. You can include parameters in the SETJOB statement to:
•
Define how much memory to allocate to a specific job.
•
Define the specific disk and account you want the specific job to log into each time the
computer boots.
•
Unlock the terminal’s keyboard (with the VER command).
SETJOB statements must be after the last SYSTEM statement in the .INI file. Here is a sample:
SETJOB JOB4,TERM2,256K,LOG DEMO,VER
6. Add a WAIT command to give the computer time to process the commands for the job before it
proceeds with the rest of the initialization file.
WAIT JOB4
7. When you have added SETJOB and WAIT statements for each job, perform a test reboot, using
the procedure earlier in this chapter.
For more information on defining jobs and terminals, see the
System Operator's Guide to the System
Initialization Command File
