DT-6061 User's Manual - Platform (Build 17.1)
12/14/09 Datatek Applications Inc. 32
If parameters are omitted from the command line, install will prompt for them. When prompted for
the password, input is not echoed. Note that it is necessary to specify ID and PASS only if the
FTP server is not a standard anonymous FTP.
The install command remembers the last SRV and LOC and provides them as defaults for the
SRV and LOC prompts.
Multiple applications may be downloaded from the same SRV and LOC in a single invocation of
install. This is accomplished by listing all the application names separated by commas with NO
spaces as the value of NAME: e.g. install NAME=tn3270,x25pad etc.
Only applications that have been built to be compatible with the platform software in a DT-6061
can be used in a DT-6061. Consult the latest release notes for DT-6061 platform software to see
the current list or the release notes for the particular application.
The new DT6upgrade utility can perform software install or update without using an FTP server.
More detail about this utility can be obtained from the combined release notes/user manual for
the DT6backup, DT6retrieve, and DT6upgrade utilities, which is available for download from the
Datatek Applications web site via the support link.
6.5.4 APPLICATION SOFTWARE REGISTRATION - REGAPP
Syntax: regapp [ <key> ]
Each application that is installed or upgraded on a DT-6XXX must be registered in order for it to
run. Please contact Datatek for a registration key. The key is based on the application name,
the software version (the two-part build number, e.g. 9.1) of the application software, and the
hardware serial number and MAC address of the DT-6061. An unregistered application may be
assigned to instances, but they will not start until the application is registered.
The regapp command accepts a key on the command line. If the key matches an installed
application, that application becomes registered. If a key is not given on the command line, a list
of unregistered applications is displayed followed by the module hardware information. Then the
user is prompted for a key.
6.5.5 APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT TO INSTANCE(S) - APP
Syntax: app <instance> [cnt=<number>] [type=<type>|none]
As noted earlier, the DT-6061 simultaneously supports many instances of different applications.
The number and type of application must be configured as a system parameter. This is done with
the app command. The app command will allow the installation of any supported and properly
installed application into an instance. There are N such instance slots available (30 for a DT-6160
and 48 for a DT-6260). Any combination of applications is supported with two exceptions. For
either the IP-LTCN or IP-VCON applications, the application is installed in instance 1 only, and
must be the only application assigned to an instance in the processor.
The <instance> is the location where the selected application is to be installed. There exist N
such instances on the DT-6061. If there was a prior application in the location specified, it is
replaced by the new application.
The cnt=<number> is an optional parameter that allows multiple consecutive instance locations
to be configured identically. When this parameter is not used, the number of instances affected by
the command is one. (Previous versions of the DT-6061 used num= for this purpose. The older
syntax is still supported.)
The type=<type> is a required parameter that defines the application to be installed in the
instance specified. If the value is NONE, then any application in the instance specified is deleted
