    Introduction to Computer Networking

    www.PDHcenter.com PDH Course E175 www.PDHonline.org Introduction to Computer Networking Dale Callahan, Ph.D., P.E. MODULE 7: Fun Experiments 7.1 Introduction This chapter will introduce you to some networking experiments that will help you improve your understanding and concepts of networks. (The experiments assume you are using Windows, but Apple, Unix, and Linux systems will have similar commands.) These experiments can be performed on any computer that has Internet connectivity. The commands can be used from the command line using the command prompt window. The commands that can be used are ping, tracert, netstat, nslookup, ipconfig, route, ARP etc. 7.2 PING PING is a network tool that is used on TCP/IP based networks. It stands for Packet INternet Groper. The idea is to verify if a network host is reachable from the site where the PING command issued. The ping command uses the ICMP to verify if the network connections are intact. When a PING command is issued, a packet of 64 bytes is sent to the destination computer. The packet is composed of 8 bytes of ICMP header and 56 bytes of data. The computer then waits for a reply from the destination computer. The source computer receives a reply if the connection between the two computers is good. Apart from testing the connection, it also gives the round trip time for a packet to return to the source computer and the amount of packet loss [19]. In order to run the PING command, go to Start ! Run and in the box type “cmd”.

    1 Welcome to the Superduper!

    Welcome to the SuperDuper! User’s Guide! This guide is designed to get you up and running as fast as possible. We’ve taken the most common tasks people perform with SuperDuper!, each placed in its own chapter, and have provided step-by-step guidance (including lots of pictures). In here you’ll find out how to: • Back up your Macintosh for the first time • Update an existing backup • Schedule one or multiple backups • Store a backup alongside other files on a destination drive • Back up your Macintosh over a network • Exclude a folder from a backup • Restore files from a backup • Restore an entire drive in an emergency situation • Troubleshooting We’ve also included a complete program reference, and some more advanced topics, such as: • Creating a Sandbox • Maintaining a Sandbox • Applying (and recovering from) System Updates while running from a Sandbox Note that SuperDuper operates in two different “modes” – registered and unregistered. The unregistered version allows easy, complete and user- specific backup clones to partitions, FireWire drives, and image files. 1 Once registered, SuperDuper allows you to schedule backups, quickly update backups with Smart Update (saving a lot of time), select “copy modes” other than Erase, then copy, create Sandboxes, fully customize the copying process using its unique Copy Scripts, save and restore settings, and avoid authenticating every time you copy. And, on top of that, it allows us to eat. Disclaimer Although SuperDuper! has been carefully tested, and should perform its functions without data loss, you use this software at your own risk and without any warranty.

    1. Introduction There have been three versions of UNIX. The earliest version (circa 1969–70) ran on the Digital Equipment Cor- poration PDP-7 and -9 computers. The second version ran on the unprotected PDP-11/20 computer. This paper describes only the PDP-11/40 and /45 [l] system since it is The UNIX Time- more modern and many of the differences between it and older UNIX systems result from redesign of features found Sharing System to be deficient or lacking. Since PDP-11 UNIX became operational in February Dennis M. Ritchie and Ken Thompson 1971, about 40 installations have been put into service; they Bell Laboratories are generally smaller than the system described here. Most of them are engaged in applications such as the preparation and formatting of patent applications and other textual material, the collection and processing of trouble data from various switching machines within the Bell System, and recording and checking telephone service orders. Our own installation is used mainly for research in operating sys- tems, languages, computer networks, and other topics in computer science, and also for document preparation.

  • Extended Picodos Reference Manual

    Extended Picodos Reference Manual

    Extended PicoDOS® Reference Manual SCHOOL OF OCEANOGRAPHY and APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON v66.06 July 2009 Chapter 1 Introduction and Conventions 1.1 Introduction This manual is a reference to extensions to the PicoDOS® operating system command set implemented in the Seaglider operating code. PicoDOS® is a registered trademark of Persistor Instruments, Inc., Bourne MA, USA. The version number of this document coincides with the version of the main Seaglider operating code in which these extensions exist. These extensions either make new functions available from the PicoDOS® prompt, or extend the capabilities of existing functions. Commands are only available through the Seaglider operating code, which intercepts and interprets the commands, passing them to PicoDOS® as appropriate. While in this mode, the Seaglider code passes any command not explicitly recognized as an extended PicoDOS® command on to PicoDOS® itself for execution. Limited error reporting exists in this case. The extensions are accessible at the PicoDOS® prompt available from the main menu when connected directly to a Seaglider (exceptions as noted below), or by uploading the pdoscmds.bat file when the Seaglider is operating autonomously. In the former case, the Seaglider code displays a standard PicoDOS® prompt (picoDOS>) with an extra ' >', as follows. picoDOS>> In the latter case, results of the extended PicoDOS® commands are captured to a file and transferred to the Seaglider basestation (in compressed form, named sg0055pz.000, using "0055" as a placeholder for dive number, and "000" for increment number) following execution of the commands. The basestation renames this file per the p1230055.000.pdos convention.

Introduction This document describes the command set that the program to be used as the primary software interface on the second generation VLBI digital backends must support. This program will be the command and control interface for the embedded device. The name of the application is rdbe_server, for DBE command and control server daemon, where RDBE refers to the ROACH Digital Backend. The standard method of communication with the application will be via a TCP connection to port 5000 via the standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface. Multiple simultaneously connections, up to a maximum supplied by a command line argument, are allowed, with commands and queries being executed in the order received, regardless of their origin. The VSI-S specification defines the syntax of communication into and out of the RDBE. 2. Notes on RDBE Command Set Note the following with respect to the command set: 1. All of the commands/queries expect the VSI-S communications protocol and command/response syntax. 2. Commands/queries are case insensitive. RDBE COMMAND SET – Ver.1.2 1 3. VSI-S Command, Query and Response Syntax The following explanation of the VSI-S syntax may be useful in understanding the structure of commands, queries, and their respective responses. This explanation has been lifted directly from the VSI-S specification.
