Page 5-8 Chapter Five
If your computer has five jobs now and you want to add two more jobs, change
the number in the JOBS statement to 7 or more. For example:
JOBS 7
4.On the lines following the JOBS statement, there are one or more JOBALC
statements. You can define each job in a separate JOBALC statement, or you can
define several jobs in the same JOBALC statement by separating the jobnames
with commas. For example:
JOBALC JOB4,JOB5
Each jobname—which can have up to six characters—defines a job on your
computer. The total number of jobs defined in the JOBALC statements must be
equal to or less than the number in the JOBS statement above.
5.You also need to define the terminals you’re going to attach to these jobs. The
TRMDEF statement defines the terminal characteristics and tells the computer
which port on the back panel it’s connected to. Add any new TRMDEF statements
after the last TRMDEF statement in the file.
Here is a sample TRMDEF statement:
TRMDEF TERM2,AM318=1:19200,ALPHA,200,200,200,EDITOR=10
Using the sample, here’s the information you must tell AMOS about a terminal:
TERM2 is the terminal name. You may use any name containing six or
fewer letters and/or numbers. Each terminal must have a different name.
AM318 is the name of the interface driver for the circuit board the terminal is
connected to. There is a corresponding software driver file in the DVR:
account called AM318.IDV.
1 is the octal number of the port the terminal is attached to.
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, but you may want to see if a more specific driver is
available for your terminal.
200,200,200 are buffer sizes, expressed in number of characters. Different
situations may require other buffer sizes, but for now just use 200,200,200.
EDITOR=15 enables the line editor for this terminal. See the AMOS User’s
Guide
for more information on the line editor.
For a more extensive explanation of what each of these items represents, see the
System Operator’s Guide to System Initialization .
