Configuring the SCON-3074 for the First Time

If you have created an ‘acc$data.sys’ file, insert the floppy with this file on it into the floppy

drive. Power on the SCON-3074. If you have not provided this file in the floppy drive, you

will need to use the IP address defined in the acc$data.sys file found on the hard drive. When

fully booted, the message ‘CONFIGURATION’ should appear on the operator panel LCD.

Telnet into the SCON-3074 from your VT3270 emulator, or from another appropriate Telnet

client. Once you have selected the proper emulation for your client the following panel

should appear.

The Main Menu panel is the first panel you will see when you enter Central Control Mode.

From this panel you can follow the menu prompts to bring up any Central Control Mode

panel that you need to.

At the “Select Item:” prompt, type the sequence “1/1,u” and press <Enter>. This will take

you through the Customization Data Menu to select the “Display/Update Configuration”

selection. The next panel to appear will look like this:

Configuration LINCS C8.2 Central Control

Customization Data Source: Default

PF: 1-Menu 10-Process

This panel allows you to select the source of the configuration that you wish to modify. For

a first time configuration, the Customization Data Source is set to “Default”. Other options

that may be selected are to read in a configuration file from “Drive A”, “Drive C”, or “Currently

Loaded”. The “Currently Loaded” and “Drive C” would not be valid offerings on a unit that

has never been configured before. Currently Loaded allows you to modify the configuration

that is currently running (normally used after the first configuration is saved). Selecting

“Default” will bring up the configuration based on the hardware installed in the unit, as if the

unit has never been configured before.
