For example, even if you have an authority level of 3 defined for your local user ID,
you may be restricted to level 1 commands at the remote system. Commands routed
to the remote system that exceed the assigned authority level are rejected.
Displaying Information
About Links
Use the SHOW LINKS command to display information about the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS links, SOLVE management services links, and NetView links
defined on your network. Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference
Manual for a complete description of this command and its output.
Starting a Link With a
Remote System
To start an INMC link with a remote NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, SOLVE
management services system, or NetView system, issue a LINK START command.
This command is described in detail in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command
Reference Manual.
When access is acknowledged, the status of the INMC link becomes ACTIVE. You can
use the SHOW LINKS command to check the status of INMC links.
Logging On to a
Remote System
To send commands to and receive the results from a remote NonStop NET/MASTER
MS system, SOLVE management services system, or NetView system, you must be
logged on to that system. If ISR does not allow unsolicited event message flow but
you want to receive unsolicited messages from a remote system, you must also log on
to that system.
Note If you are logged on to the remote system and can also receive unsolicited event messages from ISR, the
messages may be displayed twice on your local OCS window (once from ROC and once from ISR). You
can prevent the same message from being displayed twice by profiling your remote user ID to not receive
EMS messages; then only ISR displays the message.
If your password is the same on both systems, you can implicitly log on to the remote
system by using the ROUTE command (see “Automatically Logging On to a Remote
System,” later in this section). If you have a different password assigned to your user
ID on the remote system, you must explicitly log on to the remote system before
routing a command to it.
Explicitly Logging On to a
Remote System
Use the SIGNON linkname command to explicitly log on to a remote NonStop
NET/MASTER MS, SOLVE management services, or NetView system. Explicitly
logging on to a remote system, even if your password is the same as on your local
system, allows you to:
Specify whether you want the message identifier (optionally enclosed in
parentheses) associated with the remote system to be prefixed to messages
received at your local terminal.
Override the default message identifier associated with the target system (part of
the link definition) by using an identifier of your choice.
Assign your own background color, text color, and highlighting attributes to
messages received from the target system.
