Remote Administration
________________________________________________________________
90 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
This chapter deals with TCP/IP AX3000 remote administration.
10.1 - OVERVIEW
This feature permits remote administration (Set-Up) of the TCP/IP AX3000.
This AX3000 Set-Up is performed by the
rcmd
command. A text file (given as
an argument to the
rcmd
command) contains the value of each Set-Up
parameter.
This text file may contain some or all AX3000 Set-Up parameters. It
can be
either:
- created with a text editor (
vi
for example) or
- obtained by a
rcmd
command on an AX3000 already set-up.
Remote administration allows:
- fast and safe installation, by setting up multiple AX3000s with the same
text file,
- convenient site maintenance, supported by an archived configuration file
for each AX3000,
- remote set-up capability and reduced support costs.
The
rcmd
command is used both to set-up, and to obtain the configuration of,
an AX3000. The
rcmd
command parameters for remote administration are:
- a host name: the AX3000 terminal name (listed in the file
/etc/hosts
),
- a command: one of the 3 following keywords.
-
setup_send
: set-up an AX3000,
-
setup_get
: get an AX3000 configuration,
-
ax_reboot
: reset an AX3000 .
