1.3.2 Address Assignment Examples

This section provides two examples of device address assignment for

DECvoice. The ﬁrst example shows how to use the VMS SYSGEN

utility to conﬁgure new Q-bus devices into the system. SYSGEN is a

utility available in the VMS operating system. Only VMS version V5.0

or later can recognize the DECvoice DTC04 Q-bus module. SYSGEN

automatically assigns device and vector addresses. The second example

shows the proper switch settings for a sample conﬁguration.

1.3.2.1 Using SYSGEN to conﬁgure a system

To use SYSGEN, you must have system manager privileges. The

assignment process is automated. You enter device names, and SYSGEN

assigns the devices according to how the system is conﬁgured. Use

SYSGEN as follows:

1. Log into the system manager account.

2. Enter MCR SYSGEN to access the SYSGEN utility as follows:

$ MCR SYSGEN

3. At the SYSGEN> prompt, enter the CONFIGURE command.

SYSGEN responds by issuing the DEVICE> prompt.

SYSGEN>CONFIGURE

DEVICE>

4. At the DEVICE> prompt, enter all the devices currently in the system

and all the devices you want to add to the system. The following

example shows how to enter the RQDX3, TK50, DEQNA, and DTC04

devices:

DEVICE> RQDX3\bold)

%SYSGEN-I-EQV_NOTICE, equivalent name - device RQDX3 will be output as UDA

DEVICE> TK50

%SYSGEN-I-EQV_NOTICE, equivalent name - device TK50 will be output as TU81

DEVICE> DEQNA

%SYSGEN-I-EQV_NOTICE, equivalent name - device DEQNA will be output as QNA

DEVICE> DTC04,4
