Command Files

This section contains examples of command files of operating system and SCF

commands to set up particular subsystem configurations. Since each of these

examples contains a mixture of SCF and non-SCF commands, use the OBEY command

to invoke the appropriate file. The example files are as follows:

An IP address conversion program

An OSI/AS-over-TCP/IP configuration

An OSI/TS-over-TCP/IP configuration

An OSI/MHS-over-TCP/IP configuration

IP Address Conversion Program

An IP address is usually specified in a dotted decimal notation, which represents 4

octets in ASCII, separated by periods; for example, 133.50.85.43. Each octet value is a

number in the range 0 through 255. In OSI/AS and OSI/TS, an IP address can also be

specified in an eight-digit (32-bits) hexadecimal string (the format used to enter an

NSAP address); for example, 08000124, representing a class A address (network ID 8

and host ID 124 in hexadecimal). Section 3, “RFC-1006 Changes to the SCF, SPI, and

PTrace Subsystems,” explains when to use each IP address format.

When configuring other subsystems, such as OSI/MHS or OSI/FTAM, the IP address

must be entered in the eight-digit hexadecimal format.

Tandem provides a program to convert an IP address, in dotted decimal notation, to

an eight-digit hexadecimal string. This program also converts the eight-digit

hexadecimal string to a dotted decimal notation. The program is provided as a C

source file called EXADCVTC, and in a compiled version called EXADCVT.

To convert the dotted decimal notation to an eight-digit hexadecimal string, enter RUN

EXADCVT followed by the dotted decimal notation. The program displays the

hexadecimal string. For example:

9> RUN EXADCVT 130.252.12.57

82FC0C39

To convert the eight-digit hexadecimal string to dotted decimal notation, enter RUN

EXADCVT followed by the hexadecimal string. The program displays the dotted

decimal notation. For example:

10> RUN EXADCVT 82fc0c39

130.252.12.57
