<ET>extract_unbundled Program
This chapter is a guide to performing an initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus and associated software programs. There are two methods for installing StrataView Plus:
Most initial installations of StrataView Plus will be preformed using the instructions in Installing StrataView Plus Automatically. The main reason for doing a manual installation is if you need to set up a different raw partition size for Informix. If you need to install StrataView Plus manually, refer to Installing StrataView Plus Manually.
An initial installation of StrataView Plus includes the partitioning of the second disk, setting up Informix and StrataView Plus user and group accounts on the operating system disk, and the installation of Motif, Informix, WingZ, and the StrataView Plus application that includes FrameViewer. These activities are performed by using the automatic StrataView Plus Installer program (SPI). Following that, the On-Line Help files are loaded, and the StrataView Plus workstation to BPX/IPX interface is configured for either an RS-232 or LAN connection.
You will need the following items to complete the automatic installation using the SPI:
Proceed as follows to perform an automatic initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus:

Do you wish to verify the Frameviewer installation (y/n)? n<RETURN>
Normally, "n" is chosen, as verification of FrameViewer takes considerable time, and successful installation of FrameViewer is verified by the satisfactory operation of the IPX/BPX On-Line Help.
The following message is displayed:
Bypassing On-Line Help Installation Verification
INSTALLATION has completed !
The BPX/IPX On-Line Help files for StrataView Plus come on a separate tape that is installed after StrataView Plus has been installed.
Make sure you have the tape labelled StrataView Plus BPX/IPX Help Files.
Proceed as follows to install the IPX On-Line Help files:
mkdir onlinehelp
cd /usr/users/svplus/onlinehelp
pwd
tar xvpf /dev/rst0
For a Sun workstation; the "0" in /dev/rst0 is a zero.
cd ..
The Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) files for StrataView Plus are installed by SPI as part of the StrataView Plus installation. If there are multiple NMS workstations used to control the network or if this is a structured network, you must upgrade each instance of StrataView Plus and configure SCM on each NMS workstation. Proceed as follows to configure the network for management by SCM:
alpha 192.187.207.1
exit
The config.sv file contains a single line (or lines for more than one network or domain) of parameters used by StrataView Plus to establish a connection to the BPX/IPX node at startup. After both an upgrade and an initial installation, this file will contain the default values (user configurable) of /dev/ttya and 9600.
For an initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus, the default parameters gateway and 9600 are not applicable. the config.sv file should be modified to set up the required links from StrataView Plus to the attached network(s) or domains.
Configure the workstation interface to the node LAN port as follows:
0|Network1|sanfran|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|
Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.
Follow the instructions in Section to configure your StrataView Plus system for a BPX/IPX LAN port
Configure the workstation interface to the node control port as follows:
0|Network1|/dev/ttya|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|
where:
The first field is the network id and must be unique.
The second field is the network name and must be unique and less than or equal to 8 characters in length. The network name uniquely identifies a network. For consistency, if more than one StrataView Plus workstation is connected to the same network, that StrataView Plus workstation should use the same network name in this field. Similarly, if more than one StrataView Plus workstation is connected to the same domain in a structured network, that StrataView Plus workstation should use the same domain name in this field.
The third field is the port and must be unique. This can be for example, /dev/ttya for RS-232 serial port, IP host name for LAN connection to a node (e.g., sanfran) or /dev/ttyDD (or similar designation not already assigned used by the workstation) for LAN connection to terminal server from which a serial port then connects to a node.
The fourth field is the baud rate.
The fifth field is the phone number (if not applicable, set at 0). In some cases, ",0" or something other than "0" may be required for a null if "0" has significance to the public network.
The sixth through tenth fields should remain the same.
StrataView Plus uses one file for all network configurations; therefore, if more than one network is supported by StrataView Plus, just duplicate the first line and change the network id (first field, which must be unique), the network name and serial port (and perhaps the baud rate and telephone number). For example, for a second network, duplicate the first line and change the first field to 1, the second field to Network2 or any name you want for this field, and the port to ttyb. In this example, the other parameters are the same for the second network.
You would then have:
StrataView Plus uses one file for all domain configurations; therefore, if more than one domain is supported by StrataView Plus, first change the network name in the first line from Network1 to Domain1. (You can use any name you want; Domain1 is just an example.) Then just duplicate the first line and change the domain id (first field, which must be unique), the domain name and serial port (and perhaps the baud rate and phone #). For example, for a second domain, duplicate the first line and change the first field to 1, the second field to Domain2, and the port to ttyb. For a third domain, duplicate the first line and change the first field to 2, the second field to Domain3, and the port to ttyDD (e.g., for a terminal server). In this example, the other parameters are the same for the second and third domains. You would then have:
For example, for a serial port of ttya at 9600 bps, or a terminal server port of ttyDD at 19,200 bps, you would enter the following, respectively:
To test that a LAN connection to the IPX/BPX port is okay, for example, a hostname of "sanfran" entered in the config.sv file, you could enter the following:
Press shift-backspace (or shift-delete, and return, also) a few times and the Node Administration Window should appear. The window should show an IPX/BPX response such as "Enter User ID". If it does not, the link is not working correctly. Click on the DISMISS button on this screen to dismiss it and exit. On a serial port, the IPX control port defaults to 9600 baud. If it is not at 9600, you will have to try a different rate, probably 19200, in the IPXAdmin -p/dev/ttyXX -ebaud_rate command in order to establish a link.
If the System Administrator takes care of the addressing for the workstation, including the /etc/services file, proceed to step 3. If not, and an NIS is not being used, do the following:
Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.
The cnflan command configures the node's communication parameters so that the node can communicate with a StrataView Plus terminal over an Ethernet LAN using the TCP/IP protocol. The parameters contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that is used to connect the StrataView Plus station to an IPX or BPX node. The values used must conform to those of the network and should be supplied by the Ethernet network administrator.
The cnflan command has the following parameters:

The first time that StrataView Plus is started, it obtains the current network topology information and enables default trunk and circuit line statistics that you selected using the SCM software.
Before starting up StrataView Plus, you need to plan the statistics types that you want to enable automatically and enable these using the SCM program. Refer to Chapter 5 of the StrataView Plus Operations Guide for information on enabling statistics using SCM.
Start up StrataView Plus as follows:
See Appendix B.
If you have not done so yet, please refer to Appendix C, Informix Database, Backup and Changing Size, in the StrataView Plus Operations Manual.
The following paragraphs describe how to connect an StrataView Plus workstation to a BPX/ IPX node via a modem. These procedures are for a typical connection. Refer also to the applicable Sun SPARCstation System Administration User's Guide, and the Codex V.34 RSA Modem User's Guide.
Contact StrataCom ISC for further information.
The connection of a StrataView Plus workstation to an IPX via a terminal server and modem is shown in Figure 2-5.

The connection of a StrataView Plus workstation to an IPX via modem (without using a terminal server) is shown in Figure 2-6.

The following commands are provided for configuring the Codex V.34 RSA modem.
Using the cnfport command, set the IPX Control port (CONTROL TERMINAL port) to 9600 bps and disable the XON/XOFF flow control. Using the cnfportfunc command, set the terminal type to VT100/StrataView. To program the modem, temporarily attach a terminal to the modem using a 25-pin straight through cable. The modem EIA port will automatically match the 9600 bps setting of the terminal. Enter the following commands:
| 1. | AT&F | Reset to factory default and save. |
| 2. | ATSØ=1 | Enables Auto-Answer Mode (answer on first ring). |
| 3. | ATL1 | Modem speaker at low volume. |
| 4. | AT*SM3 | Enables automatic MNP error correction. |
| 5. | AT*DCØ | Disables data compression. |
| 6. | AT*FLØ | Disables XON/XOFF flow control. |
| 7. | AT&S1 | Sets DSR to "normal". |
| 8. | ATEØ | Disables local character echo. |
| 9. | ATQ1 | Disables result codes. (Modem will appear "dead".) |
| 10. | AT&W | Saves current configuration settings in non-volatile memory. |
Connect the workstation to the modem, with the serial port set to 9600 bps, using a 25-pin straight-through cable (uses RS-232 protocol) and enter the following commands:
| 1. | AT&F | Initializes factory defaults. |
| 2. | ATLØ | Modem speaker at minimum volume. |
| 3. | AT*SM3 | Enables automatic MNP error correction. |
| 4. | AT*DCØ | Disables data compression. |
| 5. | AT*SC1 | Enables DTE speed conversion |
| 6. | AT*FLØ | Disables XON/XOFF flow control. |
| 7. | AT&C1 | DCD controlled by modem. |
| 8. | AT&D2 | Modem disconnects when IPX toggles DTR. |
| 9. | AT&V | Verify entries. |
| 10. | AT&W | Saves current settings to non-volatile memory. |
For information on configuring a Sun workstation for communication via modem, refer to the applicable Sun User's Guides. For specific information regarding StrataView Plus, contact StrataCom ISC.
The StrataCom ISC (International Support Center) can provide support for the customer StrataView Plus workstation via a dial-up modem connection. This support is available when a Motorola Codex modem is provided at the customer site. There are two procedures to be performed before the ISC can dial into the workstation.
The following paragraphs describe how to set up a dial-in connection. These procedures are for a typical connection. Refer also to the applicable Sun SPARCstation System Administration User's Guide, and the Codex V.34 RSA Modem User's Guide.
Contact StrataCom ISC for further information.
The connection from StrataCom ISC to a StrataView Plus workstation via a terminal server and modem is shown in Figure 2-7.

The connection from StrataCom ISC to a StrataView Plus workstation via a modem is shown in Figure 2-8.

Setup of a Sun Workstation for incoming modem calls:
Note the process ID so you can kill it and restart the getty.
This command restarts the new getty.
Configure the modem connected to the workstation per the Auto Answer procedure.
DCD--On | AT&CØ |
DTR--On | AT&DØ |
DSR--Normal | AT&S1 |
CTS--ON when connected | AT&R1 |
| ATSØ=1 (answer on first ring) |
When the system is up, the ISC is capable of calling into the StrataView Plus via the serial port on the workstation.
This section describes how to start a copy of the GUI on another user's workstation.
The workstation must have the following software installed:
For example, where the local workstation is maui:
to display the StrataView Plus main menu, and select option 3 (Start DeskTop).
Call ISC before proceeding. For NCD X terminal support (Sun in csh):
setenv DISPLAY dolphin:0.0
