RE: Ethernet port

Martin,

I suggest that you read the manual page for ifconfig.

You can completely reconfigure a network interface in Solaris without
rebooting.

 Subject:  Ethernet port
 
 
 
 Hi everyone,
 
 I have a problem on the second ethernet port of an AW51, coneccted to the
 corporate network. Suddenly it ceased to recognize the network as if we
 diconeccted the cable (if you try a ping from the network it would not
 answer).
 No need to say that we already checked that we have network signal at that
 port.
 Is there any way to force the AW to rescan/reset this port without
 rebooting it?
 Thank you all in advance.

RE: Portable PC

2001-07-31 Thread Forbes, Harry

Running VNC on I/A Series:

I/A Series UNIX - You must either have perl installed in order to run vnc on
an I/A Series  UNIX box or install a hack to get Xvnc running. The
vncserver executable is actually a perl script that starts Xvnc.  If you
want to share a real display (like the :0 or :1) then you have to replace
the incumbent X server for that display with Xvnc.   This would put you in
what Invensys TAC would call a non-supported configuration (I hear you all
trembling, but I gotta agree with 'em on this!). I have had easy success
using vnc on more recent UNIX OSes (WOW!...more recent than 2.5.1!). With
vnc, you don't need to dedicate a CRT to the UNIX machine. This can be
handy.

I never bothered with vnc for I/A UNIX on account of not wanting to hack the
startup scripts.  

I/A NT -  have used VNC all over the place for both NT and I/A-NT (I am
using it to write this). IMHO vnc rules on NT.

 I tried VNC awhile back on an AW51E.  It worked pretty well, but I ran it
 in
 daemon mode, and it had a tendency to die unexpectedly when no one was
 connected.  I plan to do more experimentation on it when I get some time.
 
 As a side note, I frequently use the Solaris VNC client to take control of
 my
 desktop PC so I can read e-mail, look at FoxDoc (since its updater doesn't
 run
 on Solaris -- grrr), etc. while in the hole doing configuration...

 Alex,
 
 That Mobil Workstation was pulled from the product lineup in January I
 believe.  I had several interested customers down here, and when I
 asked I was told that it had been discontinued because of low sales,
 and that COT solutions were available that weren't fundamentally
 different so we would no longer offer a Foxboro branded solution.
 
 Out of curiosity, have you ever tried VNC on an I/A system?  I see
 there is a VNC client for both Palm and WinCE, and a VNC server for
 Solaris 2.5.1.  I imagine a Handspring Visor or PocketPC with a
 wireless ethernet card running a VNC client would be a pretty
 convenient tool.

RE: ListServer Archive

2001-07-17 Thread Forbes, Harry

Duc and list,


What's your assessment on the archive, Harry? Is there any chance it
gets resurrected?

I could not get the archive to run robustly on the shared server.  

The same server hosts about 18 SiteScape forums and is also used for some
other key services here.  The folks in IT absolutely hate to boot it. So it
would have to be resurrected in some other form.

RE: Can alarms be grouped to give a single alarm?

2000-09-22 Thread Forbes,Harry

John,

Is this what you want to do?

The PATALM block compares the logical combination of up to 16 Boolean inputs
to a user-specified 16-bit pattern. For a pattern match, an alarm message is
generated and a match indicator is set. A state name and message text can be
assigned to the alarmed point as part of the alarm message. The pattern
match indicator can be connected to other blocks or into control schemes. 
Standard Features 
*   Manual/Auto control of outputs 
*   Up to 16 Boolean inputs 
*   Alarm message or pattern match 
Optional Feature 
*   State name and message text are both part of the alarm message

 Subject:  Can alarms be grouped to give a single alarm?
 
  I would like to know if alarms from different blocks can be grouped
 to 
  give a single alarm.
  
  For example, a pump stops working.  I could get a pump status alarm,
 a 
  lo flow alarm, a hi output alarm, and a hi level alarm.  All of these
 
  alarms represent one condition.  Is there anyway to make these give 
  just one alarm without using logic blocks all over the place?
  
  Or, if logic blocks are the only way, what is the most efficient way 
  to accomplish it?
  
  Or, should I just consider getting rid of some of those alarms?
  
  I looked in B0193RV - Workstation Alarm Management, but didn't see 
  anything obvious.
  
  Thanks for the help.

1) SEARCH is a bug.  Don't ask me why at the moment.  I am working on it.
Of course having a SEARCH function is the MAIN reason for creating the

soon as it is fixed.

2) You can't go to the top-level of this site (forums.invensys.com).  This
