AlphaNET Installation Guide, Revision 05
TESTING THE NETWORK
In order to test our work, we need to bring up the computers on the network using the modified
TEST.INI file; type:
LOG OPR:
RETURN
MONTST AMOS32,TEST.INI
RETURN
or:
LOG OPR:
RETURN
MONTST AMOSL,TEST.INI RETURN
depending on which monitor your computer uses. As each of the computers is booting up on the
modified TEST.INI file, watch the terminal screens and make sure the computers boot without error.
Once each computer has booted and executed the SET LINK command, the network should be fully
functional.
On the HAL: computer, if we enter the command,
NTSTAT/C
RETURN
we should see a display that looks similar to this:
AlphaNET Status
Accounting Network 01:54:09 PM Node Count: 2
Status: Node is on the network Uptime: 00:00:32
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| Block Writes: 11 Block Reads: 11 |

| Transfers of Control: 45 Protocol Errors: 0 |
| CRC Errors: 2 Framing Errors: 0 |

NTSTAT/C Display
The above display shows our network is up and running. NTSTAT indicates that nodes 1 and 2 (DAVE:
and HAL:) are both on the network. Each computer can now share the resources of the other. The next
step is to read Chapter 3 for more detailed information on installing a network, and the AlphaNET User’s
Guide which explains the networking capabilities and commands used in an AlphaNET environment.
