Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services (July 2001)

Introduction to Internet Services

Overview of Internet Services

NOTE

Throughout this manual, the term daemon, which is familiar to UNIX

users, and the term server are used interchangeably.

System Requirements

The Internet Services program and conﬁguration ﬁles come with

version C.55.00 or greater, of the MPE/iX Fundamental Operating

Software (FOS). (The exception to this is the Telnet Client, which was

made available to customers on the earlier version of MPE/iX, C.50.00.)

As part of MPE/iX FOS, Internet Services can run on any Precision

Architecture-RISC model of the HP e3000. They are not available on

earlier “classic” HP e3000 computers running MPE V.

To run Internet Services, you must:

• Conﬁgure one or more network interface link cards that support

TCP/UDP/IP communications protocol.

• Conﬁgure the Net Transport communications software which uses

the TCP/UDP/IP protocol.

The necessary software and at least one TCP/UDP/IP network interface

card is delivered with each PA-RISC HP e3000 system. Internet

Services runs on top of the Net Transport software and therefore runs

over any type of link supported by Net Transport.

Verifying Installation of Internet Services Files

If you have installed or updated to version C.60.00 of MPE/iX, use the

following steps to verify that the Internet Services ﬁles exist on your

system:

1. If necessary, log on the system as MANAGER.SYS.

2. Enter a LISTFILE command for the NET group of the SYS account:

:LISTFILE @.NET.SYS

3. Check the list displayed on your screen and make sure that you have

the following ﬁles:
