Setup
Setup is a local client on the Network Computer which displays the current setup of the NC in a windowed interface. Through this interface, you can configure network computer settings, establish communication connections with remote hosts, and monitor network computer operations.
Use Setup to configure the NC terminal to your liking. Take common settings you want to apply to all terminals or to groups of terminals and apply them to the xp.cnf file. This file can then be used to configure other network computers, eliminating the need to repeat the configuration process for each network computer. The file can be edited and renamed as appropriate to accommodate special settings. Refer to the section titled Saving Setup Settings to a File for details.
Note: |
It is best to edit the xp.cnf file directly. Using the "Save to File"
feature of Setup can create extraneous (but not harmful) data
that can make subsequent changes to the xp.cnf file more
difficult to perform.
|
An NC's Setup can be started and displayed on a remote network computer or host using xpsh. Once started, you can use Setup as if it were on the NC's local display. Refer to the section titled Using Remote Setup for details.

Moving and Editing in Setup
This section describes how to maneuver in Setup, including selecting menus and options, moving and sizing the Setup window, and adding and editing entries in text fields.
Selecting Setup Menus and Options
Use the mouse to select the Setup Menu you want, and then the options.
- To display one of the Setup Menus (such as Statistics), or to select an option in the Menu Input Area (such as Language), position the pointer on a menu item, click a mouse button and drag.
- To select a setting, such as Screen Saver, position the mouse pointer on the setting, click a mouse button, and drag to the selection of your choice.
- To perform a function, such as Save Current Settings, position the mouse pointer on the function and click a mouse button. This writes the current settings into NVRAM which can only be cleared out with new settings saved in NVRAM or by entering the NVFactory command (see Chapter 4, Boot Monitor, for more information.)
Moving and Sizing the Setup Window
If a window manager is running, the Setup window can be moved and sized using the mouse. The new location and size is in effect for the current Setup session only. When Setup is closed and opened again, it returns to its default location and size.
- To move the Setup window, position the mouse pointer on the Setup title bar (above the Menu bar), click a mouse button, and drag the window to a new position.
- To change the size of the Setup window, position the mouse pointer on any corner of the window, click a mouse button, and drag to a new size. The window and fonts automatically scale to accommodate the new size.
Adding Entries in Text Fields
Setup contains several text fields where you enter configuration information. For example, the Network Tables and Utilities menu items contain several text fields that allow you to add and delete entries. The entries in the text fields affect only the current session unless you select the Save Current Settings button. (Font directory changes, however, cannot be saved in NVRAM.)
- To add an entry in a text field, position the cursor on the field, type the entry, and press Enter or Return.
- You can also edit an existing entry. When you select an entry, it displays in the text field where you can edit it and add it as a new entry.
Table 3-6 shows the editing keys available for making changes.
Editing in Text Fields
The editing features listed in Table 3-6 are available in text fields.

Press this: |
To: |
Button 1 |
Position the cursor in the text field. Use this button also to cut text to the Cut buffer. Select the text by pressing Button 1 and dragging to highlight the text to place in the cut buffer. |
Button 2 |
Paste the contents of the Cut buffer at the cursor position. |
Left arrow |
Move the cursor one character to the left. |

Control-r |
Restore the contents of the window when editing an existing entity. |
Delete |
Delete current character (IBM keyboards), or previous character (VT220 keyboards). |
Insert |
Toggle between insert and overwrite mode. When in insert mode, the cursor is an underline; when in overwrite, the cursor is a square block. |
Saving Setup Settings to a File
Setup entries can be saved to a host-based file which can then be used to configure one or more network computers. This is a good utility for creating an initial remote configuration file or an individual, customized remote configuration file.
Save Settings to File is located on the Configuration Summaries menu. You need to specify the host name or address, the access method, and the full path and file name. When you are ready to write the file, click on the Save Settings to File button.
- If the specified file already exists, Setup overwrites it. Unless you are sure you wish to overwrite the file, you may want to specify a temporary file name or create a backup of your previous file.
- If using TFTP as the access method, the new file must exist before performing the Save Settings to File and must have world-read and -write permissions. If using NFS as the access method, the Save Settings to File option creates the file, but the directory where the file is written must have world-read and -write permissions.
- Only settings that are common between the remote configuration file and the Setup utility are saved to the file. Features that are only available in the remote configuration file (xp.cnf) must be manually added to the file written by Setup. These remote configuration commands are examples of some of the commands which are not available in Setup:
add_lat_group_codes |
ip_host_entry |

Using Remote Setup
xpsh -display nc_name:0 setup
- A network computer's Setup and Console window can also be started and displayed on a remote network computer or host using xpsh. Once started, you can use Setup to configure network computer settings, establish communication connections, and monitor network computer operations.
- For example, to access a network computer's Setup from any other remote X11 device using C shell, enter:
setenv TEKSETUP_DISPLAY display_device:0
xpsh -display nc_name:0 setup
- If using a different type of shell tool, enter:
xpsh -display nc:0 -xpenv "TEKSETUP_DISPLAY=display_device:0" setup
- Example:
xpsh -display 192.43.154.66:0 -xpenv "TEKSETUP_DISPLAY=192.43.154.4:0" setup
- where nc is the remote network computer whose Setup and Console window is accessed, and display_device is the network computer or host where Setup is to display. Use IP or DECnet addresses if the remote network computer does not know the host name of the display device (set up in the Internet Host Table or TDEnet Host Table in Setup).
- If the network computer user currently has Setup started, it is not accessible remotely via xpsh. Likewise, if a remote network computer or host has Setup open via xpsh, it is not available to the network computer user.
Note: |
To prevent other users from accessing your network computer's
Setup and resetting the server, set enable_access_control to Yes
(in either the xp.cnf file or in Setup).
|

1 To differentiate where table entries are stored, entries in the Gateway, NFS Mount, Internet Host, Display Access, and TDEnet Host tables are labeled as NV if they are stored in NVRAM. Entries stored in RAM (in a .tbl table) are not labeled. NFS mounts that fail are labeled NVFAIL.
The Add Table Entry button adds an entry to NVRAM, or moves an existing RAM entry into NVRAM. (To add a table entry in RAM, make the entry in the appropriate .tbl file.) The Delete Table Entry button deletes NVRAM and RAM entries, and failed NFS mounts.
Statistics Menu
Note: |
Ethernet statistics appear for Ethernet LAN networks. If a
Token-Ring network is being used, Token-Ring statistics appear.
Token-Ring does not currently support TDEnet, therefore,
TDEnet statistics do not appear.

Use the Statistics menu to access menus that display statistics for Memory, Network, TCP/IP, Options, and TDEnet.
