Table 6 - CAL.DAT File Parameters
Parameter Meaning
SITE.ss.PASSWD
Specifies the System Manager password to be used for logins to/from this site.
system_manager_password must match the associated value programmed on the System
Manager for the site specified by ss.
SITE.ss.IP
Defines the Internet IP address, in dotted-decimal notation, of the Emulex Terminal server
for the site specified by ss. Note that the address terminal_server_ip should be chosen to be
on a directly connected network with the BCU/CAL IP address (as specified in IP.DAT).
SITE.ss.PORT
Defines the TCP/IP port number used to communicate between the BCU/CAL and the
associated port on the terminal server. Note that each terminal server port is associated with
the site number specified by ss. The value tcp_port_number must be unique for every site
defined.
The following example shows how sites 1 and 2 might be defined in the CAL.DAT file.
#######################################################################
#######################################################################
SITE.01.PASSWD SITE01 # System Manager Password for the site
SITE.01.IP 147.117.37.10 # IP address of the terminal server
SITE.01.PORT 5001 # TCP port number
SITE.02.PASSWD SITE02
SITE.02.IP 147.117.37.10
SITE.02.PORT 5002
Configuration Tips
The TCP port number selection can be of significance if the BCU/CAL is attached to a large or TCP protocol intensive
network. If you are unsure of TCP port usage on your network, consult you network administrator prior to assigning these
values. In general, beginning TCP port definition at 5000 is safe for most applications. A convenient rule of thumb is to start
at 5000, with the lower digits of the port reflecting the associated site number. For example, use TCP port number 5010 for
site 10.
The parameters defined in CAL.DAT must be known when the Emulex terminal servers are to be configured. Have a
hard copy of this file available when you are ready to set up the terminal servers.
The System Manager must be properly configured to recognize the sites that the BCU/CAL is simulating. Be sure that
these sites have been defined and the passwords are correct prior to connection establishment attempts between the System
Manager and the BCU/CAL.
