3. Getting Started
3-52 UniSite-xpi User Manual
About Parameters Parameters are user-definable fields that determine what UniSite-xpi
does. Parameters either qualify or quantify UniSite-xpi’s actions.
Qualifying parameters, such as Source and Destination, control the type
of operation to perform. Quantifying parameters, such as Block Size or
I/O Translation Format, give UniSite-xpi a range or variable to use in an
operation.
Seven parameters are shown in Figure 3-54, including Source, Memory
Begin Address, and Download Host Command.
Changing a Parameter Follow the steps below if you need to change a parameter:
1. Move the cursor to the field you need to change.
2. Type the new value and move the cursor to another field. If the
parameter is acceptable, UniSite-xpi displays
Parameter Entered
in the message bar. (Remember, the message bar is located below the
status window.)
If you enter an incorrect parameter, UniSite-xpi beeps and displays an
error message. Continue until the displayed parameters reflect your
configuration.
Downloading the
File
Locate the Data File on the
Host Change to the directory containing the file you are going to download.
Before you change directories on the host, press E
SC, CTRL + T to enter
Transparent mode.
If you are using a UNIX-based host, use the CD command to change to
the directory containing the data file to download.
Note: The commands in this Session are for UNIX-based hosts. Substitute the
appropriate commands if you are using a different type of host, such as a
VMS-based machine. If you need more information, consult the system’s
documentation or your system administrator.
Once you have changed to the directory containing the data file you are
going to download, press E
SC, CTRL + T again to leave Transparent mode
and return to UniSite-xpi’s full screen interface. You might have to press
C
TRL + R to redraw the screen.
About the Download Host
Command Earlier in this Session, you entered the parameters for the download, but
you left the Download Host Command parameter blank. The Download
Host Command is a command that UniSite-xpi sends to the host to
initiate the download. Because you are on a UNIX-based host, use the
CAT command as the Download Host Command.
