terminates all command lines Version August Ctrl key The Ctrl box followed by a letter means that you must typ e the letter while Ctrl key like the Shift key for capital letters Here is an example holding down the Ctrl Z means hold down the Ctrl key and typ e the letter Z PFn key The PFn followed bya numb er means that you must press the PFn key and then typ e the numb er Here is an example PF

manual show b oth system output prompts messages and dis plays and user input which are all written in typewriter style The user input is normally written in capital letters Generally there is no case sensitive input in GOOSY except in cases noted explicitly In UNIX all input and with it user and le names are case sensitive that means for TCPIP services likeTelnet FTP or SMTP mail one has to dene no de names user names and le names in double quotes name to keep the case valid for Op en VMS input Keywords are printed with upp ercase characters parameters to b e replaced by actual values with lowercase characters The computer output might dier dep ending on the Alpha AXP or VAX system you are connected to on the program version describ ed and on other circumstances So do not exp ect identical computer output in all cases Registered Trademarks are not explicitly noted Version August Further GOOSY Manuals Op enVMS Advisory Service In any case of computer or network problems please

have to b e accounted for Through this pro cedure the system manager for Op enVMS see names on page sets up a disk directory for you and you will receive a username and a password You must change your password immediately after the very rst login by the command SET PASSWORD Only after you have received an accountyou can pro ceed to any terminal for login General Remarks on GSI Computers At GSI a large numb er of Alpha AXP or VAX computers namely Alpha workstations or VAX stations is used by exp eriment groups for data collection and data analysis for the accelerator control system for the safety departmentcontrol system and for a printed circuit layout CAD system The Op enVMS op erating system is very p opular and gratefully accepted by most ex p eriment groups at GSI b esides the IBM mainframe under MVS and several UNIX workstations from DEC IBM and HP Most computers at GSI are connected to each other by a large EthernetFDDI network FDDI Fib er Distributed Data Interface with transparent bridges to Ethernet available in almost all ro oms This network is separated by bridges into several segments reducing the overall data trac and avoiding disturbances of the whole network by one lo cal error source Several up to FDDI rings are separated byavery fast cross bar switch the GIGAswitch which switches FDDI packets from source rings to destination rings dieren t rings simultaneously Several Alpha AXP and VAX computers are connected directly to the GIGAswitch building their own little ring FDDI is used mainly as a backb one for Ethernet segments In g on page you see

EthernetFDDI network Version August User Interfaces to GSI Computers Although the Alpha AXP or VAXstations and the Ethernet are easy to use users are strictly prohibited from making anychanges or recongurations on the computer hardwareoronthe Ethernet cabling by their own Sp ecically NEVER use IBM x cable or video cable as a thin wire Ethernet cable Use ONLY sp ecic Ethernet cables available in the GSI sto ck ie never place the Tconnector Never make a stub from a Tconnector to the computer close to the wall and feed only one cable to the computer this corrupts the network The Tconnector of the thin wire Ethernet cabling must b e as close to the computer interface as p ossible ie from eachofthetwo cable connectors on the wall a separate cable must go to the Tconnector close to the computer NEVER leave the thin wire Ethernet cable connection op en Never remove the cable bridge on the wall connectors without immediate replacement Everyone must contact the Computer Advisory Service for Op enVMS Ethernet and termi nals see names on page in case of hardware recongurations They will provide you with the necessary service They are also trying to keep a record of the whole network hardware which requires your help Keep your hands o the computer hardware and the Ethernet cabling All computers at GSI might b e corrupted even by a single source of hardware malfunction Since most of the computer and network comp onents are under maintenance contract please never unpack or install new computer equipmentbyyour own like Alpha AXPVAXstations DECstations addon memory DEC terminals magnetic disks interfaces printers or tap e drives Call the Computer Advisory Service in any case for unpacking and installation Otherwise GSI might run into problems with the warranty the service and the software installation A copyof the delivery sheet from the sto ckro om p ersonal should b e passed to the Computer Advisory Service They also need the software license sheets PAK coming together with the computer Also never recongure existing computer equipmentbyyour own like
