RE: CP30 to CP60 upgrade

We use single CP60's and got the same problem (we are using 200 series I/O) the problem went away when we went to 24 FBM's. When we had 23 FBM's the fault was as you explained regardless of FBM location. The errors predominantly reported to an individual location and usually to a FBM204 (output

RE: AIM AT extraction

That's exactly what AIM*Datalink (PSS 21S-6C4 B3) enables. Try it you will like it. There is (or was) a bundle of AIM*Datalinkand AIM*Explorer (PSS 21S-7A5 B3) that was only a little more than AIM*DataLink by itself. I'll send you the PSS's separately. Regards, Alex Johnson 10707 Haddingt

RE: AW: AW: Problems with concatenated and mirrored disks on AW51 B

Hi All, We have two AWs with mirrored concatenated drives. I got curious yesterday and ran "dft show_status" & was amazed and embarrassed to find one of the AWs had been un-mirrored for quite some time. I read HH745 and HH835, the entire section on mirrored drives in the Foxboro System

Re: CP30 to CP60 upgrade

I noticed you have CP60FT. The filedbus cabling can be confusing and you may have both fieldbusses connected to eachother. Take care of termination and as mentioned here: do not branch. Termination will not be correct. Only two must be installed per fieldbus. Ron Campbell John C wrote: > Yes th

The files are only as good as the SysDef. What does your System Definition tell you? If there is a mismatch, there is something odd. Take a look at /usr/fox/sp/hldb and see if all of those names are in it. If not, there is something odd. Regards, Alex Johnson 10707 Haddington Houston, TX 7

The /etc/wplns file contains the logical names of the WP's on your system. The /etc/aplns contains (you might have guessed) the logical names of the AP in you system. If you have only AP's and WP's you would normally use the letterbug as the logical name. If you have AW's you have a problem: the A

Re: Remote Displays using Exceed

My experience with Windows 2000 is limited, but the Foxboro box does not really care too much if you are in the hosts file or not. The DM usage display does not really know what to show in the field in the display that tells you where the DM is running. The go_dm script will find out which IP addr

Are you using a fixed IP address on your PC or DHCP ? DHCP ( dynamic host configuration protocol) can cause the problem. The /etc/hosts file on the Fox system checks if the IP address is OK . If OK , it makes the connection with your PC. [EMAIL PROTECTED]@lists.TheCassandraProject.org
