Commands
ip nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn This sets the ViewStation IP address gw nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn This sets the ViewStation gateway address nm nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn This sets the ViewStation netmask address hh nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn This sets the HDSware host address hd <path> This sets the path to the HDSware directory sc <filename> This sets the server code file as: </hostIP/path/servercodefile> cf <filename> This sets the configuration file as: </hostIP/path/configurationfile> set <resource value> This sets the configuration resource specified show <resource value> This displays the configuration resource specified tftp This selects the TFTP file transfer protocol (default) ftp This selects anonymous FTP as the file transfer protocol nfs This selects NFS as the file transfer protocol thin This sets the Ethernet type to "ThinWire" (default) thick This sets Ethernet type to "ThickWire" (default = ThinWire) factory This resets NVM to Factory Default settings boot This saves your settings in NVM; reboots the ViewStation
These commands let you select important ViewStation settings
and control the boot process.
Other settings can be made in the same way. Monitor Mode is
not intended to substitute for Setup Mode, but to provide a way for
starting your ViewStation if flashPROM or BOOTP aren't available. Other
variables may be necessary for your system, such as a gateway address
and netmask setting, or a configuration file location. If you are
working with a unit that already has data in NVM (Non-Volatile Memory),
you can clear the NVM with the "factory" command.
The "show" and "set" commands let you set any configuration
resource, such as:
show HDSsetup.ipaddress
and the ViewStation will report the current
HDSsetup.ipaddress setting. In the same way, you can set any
configuration resource, such as: set
HDSsetup.config.file
/128.92.1.3/usr/lib/X11/HDSware/hds-fx/config/config.fx
If you are working with a ViewStation that already has
data in NVM (Non-Volatile Memory), you can clear the NVM with the
"factory" command.
