Figure 2-1. A network configuration that supports the APGEN utility
In Figure 2-1, the UNIX host running the APGEN utility is also a parameter server and a script server for
the terminal servers in the System 3000 hubs. To obtain an APGEN script file, a user on a terminal server
enters the Model 3395 SCRIPT command with the pathname and filename of the script file on the host.
This UNIX host can then download the script file to the terminal server.
Configuring the Terminal Server for Use with APGEN
Your terminal server may already have a UNIX host defined as a parameter server and a script server. If not,
you need to define one or more hosts for this purpose to use the APGEN utility. You can use the same or
different hosts. You must also be sure that Telnet is enabled on the terminal server , and that you have
assigned an Internet address to it.
Defining a UNIX Host as a Parameter Server
The APGEN utility uses a parameter file on a UNIX host to create the script file. You can copy a
parameter file from some other source, such as a VAX/VMS host, onto a UNIX host, or you can assign a
UNIX host as a parameter server. Use the following commands to do this:
DEFINE/SET PARAMETER SERVER
node-name
INTERNET ADDRESS
