Remote Administration
182 AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual
The possible connection errors are:
- The interactive set-up is already in use on the target thin client.
- The client telnet arguments as given above are not set.
10.4 - BATCH REMOTE SET-UP
This feature enables an AX3000 to be set up remotely, using the remote administration command.
10.4.1 - AX3000 Remote Set-Up
A text file (provided as an argument to the remote administration command) defines the value of
some or all set-up parameters. It can either be:
- Created with a text editor or
- Obtained by a remote administration command on an AX3000 already set-up.
We strongly advise using AxRM to operate with the batch setup (see Chapter 10.1), but the native
rsh system commands can be used.
The remote administration command parameters are:
- The name or the IP address of the AX3000,
- A command: one of the 3 following keywords:
- setup_send : set-up an AX3000,
- setup_get : get an AX3000 configuration,
- ax_reboot : reset an AX3000.
Example for obtaining a set-up:
# rsh axname setup_get > /tmp/file<CR>
Example for sending a set-up:
# rsh axname setup_send < conf_file
Example for rebooting a thin client (required after sending a set-up):
# rsh axname ax_reboot
See Appendix A.6 for more information about administration command.
10.4.2 - Configuration File Format
A configuration file can list some or all AX3000 set-up parameters. And it begins with the label
'BEGIN_AX_SETUP' and ends with the label 'END_AX_SETUP'.
Example:
BEGIN_AX_SETUP V1.1
# this is a comment
tcp_host1_name=vangogh
...
END_AX_SETUP
Note: lines beginning with '#' are treated as comments and ignored.
