Note: The above hardware was used as standard for Releases 5.1 anthe TN-MS EC-1 and it is recommended that for Release 13.1 the platis upgraded to a B132L or B132L+ platform. However, if the 715/100 isbe used, an additional CD-ROM drive is required during the installationTN-MS EC-1 (PEC code NTQJ07FA). Operating system HP-UX 10.2(NTQJ01EB) is also required.

Ethernet cardsA second Ethernet card is required on the EC-1 workstation for connectinNRM/INM, or to support Hot and Warm standby functionality. The HP B13and B132L+ platforms are delivered with such a card installed, but on the715/100 platform, this must be added. This card can be either of the follow

• 10BaseT Card (HP25567B + OPT840). This card is used to connect second port to the hub unit via RJ45 connectors.

• Thick LAN card (HP25567B + OPT740). This card is used to connectsecond port to the thick LAN. If there is a requirement to connect the to 10BaseT hub unit, transceiver HP A2671A is inserted in the line.

Examples are given in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6. For further information contact ‘Technical support and information’.

PrintersThe printer is used to enable printouts from the system. It can be conneceither via the parallel port on the system unit, or as a network printer (seAppendix A: Installing a printer). The general specification for the printer isgiven below:

• Parallel Centronics Interface.

• 4 Mbytes RAM.

• Postscript support.

Reconfiguring the printerThe EC-1 writes to the printer in ASCII mode, rather than in PostScript mor any proprietary mode. As such, it is dependent on the default printer configuration. Long lines of text may be truncated, depending on these settings.

To avoid losing information when using the printer, switch the printer’s settings so that it uses either condensed mode or landscape mode. The is reconfigured by changing its settings within UNIX. These are stored infile within the ‘/usr/spool/lp/model’ directory. Consult your printer’s documentation to determine which file is used.

For example, on a LaserJet printer:

• To switch the printer to use condensed mode, locate a line that readspitch="def"

Change this line to read:pitch="c"

• To switch the printer to use landscape mode, locate a line that reads:

orientation="def"

Change this line to read:

orientation="landscape"

For other printers, consult your manufacturer’s user documentation.

Uninterruptable Power Supply Unit (optional)An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) is an optional unit that can be uto prevent many of the problems associated with the loss of a.c. mains pThe UPS provides a warning of the failure, and time to enable the SystemEngineer to perform backup of files on the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1 system.

During normal operations, the a.c. supply is routed through the UPS. Sooutlets on the UPS provide the a.c. supply for the colour monitor and sysunit. The remaining units for the TN-MS EC-1 System are powered fromnormal a.c. supply.

The a.c supply also operates a battery charger in the UPS to keep a set batteries in a fully charged condition. These batteries are used with an invto provide a backup 220/240 V a.c. supply. If there is an a.c. mains suppfailure a warning light is illuminated on the UPS and the 220/240V a.c. backup supply is provided to the colour monitor and system unit for at le15 minutes.
