ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT This document describes setting up an Xstation 120/130. Provided below are 4 sample configuration scenarios which can used as a guide by System Administrators in setting up an Xstation. NOTE: The examples use the Xstation 120 as a default, just substitute 130 where applicable, and is applicable to AIX versions 3.2, 4.1, and 4.2. XSTATION SETUP PROCEDURE Before starting the set up procedure, check your inventory: o Mouse o Keyboard o System unit (power cord) o Display (cable and power cord) Then perform the following: 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Connect the keyboard and mouse. 3. Connect the network cables. 4. Turn off the display power switch and connect the display cables. 5.

Verify the following on the boot host: Appropriate network is up. o x_st_mgrd is running. o inetd is running(tftpd, bootpd configured in /etc/inetd.conf). o If /etc/tftpaccess.ctl is present (secure tftp) /etc/x_st_mgr,/usr/lib/X11 and /usr/lpp/x_st_mgr are set to "allow". o Any manual editing to /etc/bootptab file is correct o Default fonts in installed: /usr/lib/X11/fonts /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi Now the Xstation can be configured on the network. AIX BOOT HOST, NO GATEWAY 1. Add Xstation's IPaddress and name to /etc/hosts. Such as: 129.35.147.173 xstation1 129.35.147.93 boothost1 2.
