- AIX Level 4.2.1 or Greater
- AIX Level 4.3
1. Cabling the 3153 (via RS232 Main/Aux Port) to the RS/6000
The first step in setting up the 3153 to an RS/6000, is proper
cabling between the 3153 and the RS/6000. Both the 3153 Main
Port and the RS/6000 are DTE (Data Terminal Equipment)
devices, the cabling connecting the two devices must switch
the data and control lines. A cable that provides this
capability is often called a Null Modem or Interpose cable.
The following cable configurations provides the proper cabling
to connect a 3153 to an RS/6000.
3153 SES1-EIA PORT (RS232) TO A RS/6000:
- Console (Native DB25 RS232, one-device)
12H1204 or
6323741 with 58F2861
- Console (Native DB25 RS232, two-device)
31F4590 with 12H1204 or
31F4590 with 6323741 with 58F2861
- Console (Native DB9)
40H6328 with 12H1204 or
40H6328 with 6323741 and 58F2861
- 128-port Remote Async Node (RAN):
43G0935 with 12H1204 or
43G0935 with 6323741 and 58F2861
- 8-port or 16-port Adapter:
12H1204 or
6223741 with 58F2861
- 64-port Concentrator:
53F3367 with 58F2861
- 7318 Terminal Server:
65G2373 with 65G2376
3153 SES2-AUX PORT (RS232) TO A RS/6000:
- Console (Native DB25 RS232, one-device)
6323741
- Console (Native DB25 RS232, two-device)
31F4590 with 6323741
- Console (Native DB9)
40H6328 with 6323741
- 128-port Remote Async Node (RAN):
43G0935 with 6323741
- 8-port or 16-port Adapter:
6323741
- 64-port Concentrator:
53F3367
- 7318 Terminal Server:
65G2373 with 65G2375
Notes:
1. Some 3153 models (P/N 42H0450, 42H0451, 42H0452, 42H0456,
42H0457, 42H0458, 42H0459, and 42H0465) have a RS422
Main Port. The SES2-AUX Port, which supports RS232, can
be used if the 3153 is used in a single session
environment, Recommend to use the choices,within:
"3153 SES2-AUX PORT (RS232) TO RS/6000:"
which is described above.
2. When the 3153 Main and/or Aux Port is selected, the 3153
Setup Menu Parameter 'Host/Printer' must be properly
selected:
- 3153 Main Port: 'Host/Printer'='EIA/Par','EIA/None'
- 3153 Aux Port: 'Host/Printer'='Aux/Par','Aux/None'
After proper cabling/connection is established, the 3153 should
display characters/text which may or may not be readable.
Characters/text may include: garbage or special graphics,
AIX command line, or SMIT. The displayed characters/text
indicates communications between a 3153 an the RS/6000.
2. Configuring the 3153 Setup Parameters (3151 Emulation)
IBM 3153 factory default setup parameters were selected for
RS/6000 attachment. In most cases a new 3153 will work with
no changes when attached using the RS232 SES1-EIA Main Port
and a standard RS/6000 adapter operating at 9600 baud. The
following setup information can be used to confirm the 3153
settings and used to make changes if the 3153 has been used
on another service prior to being used with the RS/6000.
3153 setup parameters determine:
- Communications for the 3153
(Main and Aux Port, Baud Rate)
- Keyboard operation and application display
(Emulation, Auto Wrap, Page Length, Return Key)
To enter 3153 setup menus:
- Press and hold left 'Ctrl' and '-' (Numeric Keypad) or
Press and hold left 'Ctrl' and 'Scroll Lock'.
To set 3153 to IBM 3153 Factory Default settings:
- Press 'Print Exec' key.
- Select 'Default Terminal' and press 'Spacebar'
- Select 'Save Terminal' and press 'Spacebar'
When 'Emulation'='IBM 3151' confirm:
F1 (Quick):
'Comm Mode'='Full Duplex'
F2 (Genrl)
'Auto Wrap'='On'
'Auto Scroll'='On'
F3 (Displ):
'Scroll'='Jump'
F4 (Kybd):
'Key Mode'='ASCII'
F5 (Keys):
'Return Key'='New Line'
'Enter Key'='Return'
'New Line'='<CR>'
'Send Key'='Page'
'Insert Character'='Space'
F7 (Host):
'Local'='Off'
'Turnaround Character'='<CR>'
F8 (Print)
'Indep Pass Thru'='Off'
F9 (Emul):
'Force Insert'='Line'
Notes:
1. If the 3153 Main Port is used as the host session:
F1 (Quick): 'Host/Printer'='EIA/Para' or 'EIA/None'
2. If the 3153 Aux Port is used as the host session:
F1 (Quick): 'Host/Printer'='Aux/Para' or 'Aux/None'
3. If the 3153 is used for dual session,
F1 (Quick): 'Sessions'='Two'
After 'Two' is selected, the second session must also
be configured.
4. If the 3153 does not have an parallel printer attached:
F1 (Quick): 'Host/Printer'='EIA/None' or 'Aux/None'
5. 'EIA Baud Rate' and 'EIA Data Format' must match
the RS/6000 communication port settings.
6. If the application is not displaying Line Drawing/Box
characters correctly, try changing the following:
F4 (Kybd): 'Char Set'='Multinational'
The 'Code Page' parameter appears. Some applications were
written to use PC (8-bit) Codes Pages (CP 437 or CP 850)
or ISO 8859/1.2 (ISO-1).
3. Adding/Setting TTY in AIX:
Adding a TTY:
To add a tty to the system, log on as 'root'.
Type 'smit' or 'smitty' on the command line.
Select the following order of options from each menu.
#smit
DEVICES
TTY
ADD A TTY
RS232
(SELECT PARENT ADAPTER)
(SELECT PORT NUMBER)
(Note: Press 'ESC' '4' to display port choices)
set Enable LOGIN to enable
(This runs a login prompt)
Press 'Enter' and to let smit make the tty
Setting a TTY:
When a tty is set in smit, the default TERMINAL type is 'dumb'
Example:
BAUD rate
[9600]
PARITY &n
sp; [none]
BITS per character [8]
Number of STOP BITS [1]
TIME before advancing to next port setting [0]
TERMINAL type [dumb]
FLOW CONTROL to be used [xon]
For most AIX command line operations this is fine; however
for many AIX applications (smit, vi editor, HCON) to properly
function, the terminal type must be set to match the terminal
which is actually connected to the serial port.
When attaching an 3153 terminal, set the 3153 to IBM3153
emulation and then use smit to set the tty TERMINAL type:
change:
TERMINAL type [dumb]
to:
TERMINAL type [ibm3151]
Hit enter and let smit make the change.
Notes:
- Notice the ibm3151 entry in smit is in lower case.
By convention all terminal type names are in lower case.
IBM3151 will NOT work, and is considered an unknown
termtype. Any output to the 3153 is improperly displayed.
- AIX also supports other IBM termtype ASCII emulations:
ibm3151-C for 3151/3153 for ISO Latin 2
ibm3151-51 for 3151/3153 with PC keyboards (Page Up/Down)
ibm3151-132 for 3151/3153 for use in 132-column mode
ibm3151-25 for 3151/3153 for use in 25-line mode
- AIX also supports other termtype ASCII emulations:
vt100 for DEC VT100
vt220 for DEC VT220
wy50 for WYSE 50
wy60 for WYSE 60
To check the current TERM type (this is what kind of terminal
the system believes that is attached).
Use one of the following two commands:
On the 3153, the best command is:
#echo $TERM <enter>
(output)
On the 3153, another command is:
#env ³ grep TERM= <enter>
(output)
Where (output)=ibm3151 or other supported AIX TERM type.
4. SETTING A NATIONAL LANGUAGE (3153 Setup Menus and AIX):
Within 3153 Setup Menus:
- F4 (Kybd):
1. Set 'Char Set' = 'Multinational'
2 Set 'Language' to desired keyboard language.
(French, German, Spanish, Finnish)
3. Set 'Code Page' = 'ISO-1'
3153 Setup Menu Notes:
1. The 'Language' determines what keyboard language the 3153
operates in. If 'Language'='Spanish' and 'English' keyboard
is attached, the 3153 operates in 'Spanish'
Within AIX:
To Determine the Current Language:
To determine the current language, type "locale".
This returns the LANG variable. Example: "LANG=en_US".
To make changes to the language, the language must be
installed.
Changing the Language for an individual session:
The language can be changed for an individual session by
setting LANG=xx_YY where xx_YY is the desired language
specification. The xx parameter designates the language and
the YYY parameter designates the country code. To determine
the locales thare are installed, type "local -a"
Example: French in France: fr_FR
French in Canada: fr_CA
German in Germany: de_DE
Taiwan Chinese zh_TW
If particular users want to change only their locale, users
can add a line to the '.profile' in their home directory
that says:
export LANG=de_DE
Changing the Language for the entire RS/6000:
- Use "smitty".
- Choose "System Environments",
then "Manage Language Environments",
then "Change/Show Primary Language Environment",
then "Change/Show Cultural Convention, Language, or Keyboard'
- Press "F4" to display a language selection menu.
- Choose the language and press enter.
- Press enter again to make the change.
- Reboot of the RS/6000 may be required.
AIX Notes:
1. The AIX termtype (Terminal Type) may also be required
to change to 'ibm3151-C' as mentioned above in Section 3
'Adding/Setting TTY in AIX'.
