Configuring Autobaud Enabled, Autobaud Disabled,
Autoconnect Enabled
The following example shows Autobaud connect enabled (which is the default and is
useful during initial start up).
When autoconnect is enabled, you must have autobaud disabled. With autobaud
disabled and port settings correct for autoconnect, the end user can type just a single
character to log in; this setup allows 6530 power-on to automatically log in to the port.
To disable autobaud, enter the following AWAN commands at the CLI prompt:
define port n autobaud disabled
define port n speed 19200 parity even char 7
Autoconnect Enabled automatically connects to the preferred node, service, and
destination when the port is logged in.
If autoconnect is not enabled, the end user must explicitly enter the HP NonStop
Kernel software host address. The host address is either a domain name server (DNS)
or an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Using Telnet, you access a dotted IP address or a
DNS name (host address).
When you have preferred service specified, a host application can display at logon
time a welcome screen with pertinent information. (See Example 2-11.) (The Local
prompt appears only momentarily and is barely recognizable as a prompt.) When you
do not have a preferred service specified, the host address must be defined on the
Telnet command.
With autoconnect enabled, and preferred service enabled, it is easier for operations to
migrate host applications from older controllers to 3886 AWAN servers. The entire
logon and logoff process is transparent at the user level.
