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 140 as a default, just substitute 150 where applicable. 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. Connect the power cable to the system Unit. Xstation 140/150 Setup Procedures 1 08/20/96, 4FAX# 1990 6. Plug in the power cables into electrical outlets. 7. Turn On the power switch to the display and then the Xstation. 8. At the initial boot screen, determine the Xstation's Hardware Address and give this to your System Adminis- trator. Now the Xstation can be configured on the network. AIX BOOT HOST, NO GATEWAY, X_ST_MGRD FILE SERVER 1. Add Xstation's IPaddress and name to /etc/hosts. Such as: 129.35.147.173 xstation1 129.35.147.93 boothost1 2. To Define the Xstation use the command smitty x_config *********************************************************** Define an Xstation Network Type *********************************************************** Type or select values in entry fields. Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes [Entry Fields] * Xstation Network TYPE Name [x_st_mgr.network1] * NETWORK Type [ethernet] * SERVER PORT Number [9000] ---> x_st_mgrd port number is in /etc/services. 9000 is smit default. * HOME Directory [/etc/x_st_mgr] * BOOTFILE [X140serv] * DOMAIN Name Server [ ] * GATEWAY [ ] Subnet MASK [ ] ************************************************************ Add an Xstation ************************************************************ Add an Xstation 140 ************************************************************ Type or select value in entry fields.

Verify the following on the boot host: o Appropriate network is up. o x_st_mgrd is running. Xstation 140/150 Setup Procedures 2 08/20/96, 4FAX# 1990 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 Default fonts in place: /usr/lib/X11/fonts /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi 4. Make sure the Xstation is at factory defaults. a. Go to Main Menu of Local Configuration (Do this by pressing ESC at the initial boot screen) b. Select "Restore Defaults", "Save Changes", and "Reboot". AIX BOOT HOST, GATEWAY PASSES BOOTP REQUESTS, X_ST_MGRD FILE SERVER 1. Add Xstation's IPaddress and name to /etc/hosts.
