Hello all,
My problem has been solved...
My thanks go to :

The solution was to use ccr as I was doing in my original email, but I had
to type 'access' before it would actually respond (to anything!). Once
entered, I received :
"
DECserver 250 Terminal Server V2.0 (BL2904) - LAT V5.1
Please type HELP if you need assistance
Enter username>
"
And the rest is in the manual. I'm glad that nowdays, you are actually
prompted to enter information (e.g. login), not just expected to type
something. I have the DECserver 250 manual as well as DECnet/OSI
installation and configuration guide and for the life of me I cannot find it
in there. :)
Damien.

Hello again admins,
The subject basically tells the story.
I have inherited an old piece of hardware (DECserver 250) that I need to get
a DU machine to be able to connect to and do things like reset ports and
label ports, etc. I remember a few years ago doing it on a VMS box, but
I've never known Digital UNIX (3.2G to 4.0D) to do it.
This is what I know so far...
A previous admin managed to boot (using MOP) the terminal server. Now the
question is, do I use ccr or ncl or something else to connect to the server
to perform console commands? If I do use one of them, what are the
commands? I've been tinkering with these programs for a while and the
closest thing I get is ccr to do this :
----
# ccr -c ln0 -h 08-00-2b-17-2f-01 -v
Using phase 5 data base access

Before doing a <CTRL>D to release the console, I cannot do anything. Would
this be the password protection?
HELP!
Thanks,
Damien.
