Support for connections from the D3 Workstation is enabled by using the d3WSListener command
d3WSListener -p <port> {-n <vm>}
| port | The port number to listen on for connections from the D3 Workstation. Typically, this value is 1718. |
| vm | The D3 virtual machine that should be used for connections to this listener. The pick0 file is used when this option is omitted. |
The D3 Workstation provides and manages terminal devices, serial printers, Windows printers, and Telnet Clients.
The d3WSListener command connects to the D3 Workstation settings via the D3 Device Manager to add, update, and remove the D3 Workstation ports, printers, Telnet Servers, and mvServer endpoints.
If you do not need to connect any of the listed Client types to the D3 Server using the capabilities of the D3 Workstation, then you do not need to configure or start the D3 Workstation. The D3 Workstation is an additional method of connecting Clients to D3, and is provided to support upgrades for mvBase customers.
