Adding VME telnet PIB assignments

Complete the following instructions to add a VME Telnet PIB assignment.

Note: Nail all PIBs to prevent the default Telnet server from being activated, or nail the TCP port numbers to high PIB numbers and decrease in descending order (by default the PIB number is allocated dynamically starting with low PIB numbers). A nailed TCP port can be used by the default Telnet server.

Procedure

Open the D3 Device Manager and select the PIB Configurations tab.
Click the Add Telnet button.
The VME Telnet Ports dialog box displays.

Define the new VME Telnet port. The table below describes the various configuration values of the VME Telnet Ports dialog box.

Value	Description
PIB Number	PIB number assigned to the device.
Number of PIBs	Defines a range from which a PIB is allocated when establishing a Telnet session. Format: {`n`}-{`m`}, where `n` is the first PIB and `m` is the last PIB in the range. If not specified, `n` is 1 and `m` is "max PIB - 1". `n` cannot be 0. The default value is (blank).
Telnet Port	TCP port number to nail to the PIB in the range from 2000 to 32767.
Allow Auto-Assign of Telnet Ports	Automatically defines the range of available turnkey telnet ports based on the values specified in the above three fields.
Sample Input	Optional stacked input (see the dev-make Arguments section of the dev-make Command (Windows) topic in the D3 Reference Manual). When using sample input, commas are replaced by carriage returns to emulate user input. It is advised to always start with a comma because after a boot of the VME, the first character of the input string is discarded. If the first field of the input stack starts with a \, it is treated as a command. The text can be used to automatically logon to a port as a user and type in user-simulated commands.

Click OK.
The Telnet PIB is assigned and displays in the VME PIB Assignments list.
