218.0. "The Real Connection" by BIS6::VENNEMAN () Thu Feb 27 1997 10:56

    Hi ,
    
    We have a customer who wants to use RSM  for 9 ZX6000 server via a
    direct connection but not a normal direct conntection ie reverse-LAT
    connection.
    Have anyone done this allready??
    I use verion 1.1 of RSM
    What I have done:
    	Setup a direct connection no problem.
    	Via a terminal connection an the reverse-lat we get onto the RSM
    card because we get the RSM password prompt.what we did to  get on the
    RSM card : connection to the terminal server(TM) via the terminal
    emulator , we created  a service on the TM ie prioris, do a connect do
    this service c prioris and the we get the password for the RSM card.So
    the reverse-lat  connection is working.
    	Then  we added to the login script the steps needed do to the TM
    login .
    	This is not working we don't get the Connecton successfully
    estblished.
    	When we look with a datascoop on the line we see that the program
    is sending all the data and that he does the connection to the password
    prompt and it is stops.
    Can anyone help me with this.
    Ps : can you connect to more the 1 server when are using a multiplexer
    or the system I want to use??
    
    Best Regards
    Yves

218.1You can only connect with RSM applicationPCBUOA::BRACKENThu Feb 27 1997 11:1417
    You can not use RSM via any Terminal emulator. It only responds to
    proper requests from it's own API using PPP protocol. The RSM
    application uses this API and the API itself is not published.
    
    In addition RSM can and should be made secure against intrusion by
    downloading a security file that has a User Name and Password. This 
    is why you have password. 
    
    There was an effort to allow entry to RSM for the use of Alpha serial
    console. The effort was dropped and would only work with additional 
    hardware that was only prototyped.
    
   Is this what you mean by reverse-lat?
    
    Why not just set up 9 direct null-modem cable connections using
    a Digiboard multiplexer and use the RSM application the normal way.
