Altos 5000 Full-Feature Workstation Configuration
A COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS on an Altos System 5000 can have from one to six full-feature
workstations. The first full-feature workstation is the display unit and keyboard that comes with
the Altos System 5000. This display unit and keyboard serve as both console on the host processor
and a full-feature workstation.
NOTE
Users of previous releases of NMS should refer to the
Full-Feature
Workstation
section of Chapter 2 when setting up full-feature
workstations which previously used StarLAN as the means of
connecting full-feature workstations.
NOTE
This connection process describes the standard TCP/IP Ethernet
configuration. On the Altos System 5000 an alternative network
configuration is also supported. Token Ring cards can be inserted in
the host, UIP, and full-feature workstation for Token Ring support.
The configuration rules that follow apply to this alternative hardware
configuration as well.
