bytes of system memory, so it is best to be on the safe side and allocate more JOBS than you think you

actually need.

Adding the NETSER Background Job

AlphaNET requires one job be running the NETSER program in the background to act as a server for

other computers.

1. Add the jobname NETSER to the JOBALC statement.

2. Define a TRMDEF statement for a terminal named NETSER using the PSEUDO interface driver

and NULL terminal driver.

3. Add a SETJOB statement to set up the job, attaching it to terminal NETSER, giving it at least

100K, and having it run the NETSER.JIN initialization file. Add a WAIT NETSER statement

after the SETJOB statement to allow NETSER to finish processing before going on to the next

statement in the system initialization command file.

4. Create a NETSER.JIN file that logs NETSER into DSK0:[1,4] and has it run NETSER.LIT.

The NETSER TRMDEF will look like this:

TRMDEF NETSER,PSEUDO,NULL,100,100,100

NETSER needs memory to do its remote procedure calls and name registration functions. The exact

memory requirements depends on the operations to be performed in your particular installation. There is

no defined minimum or maximum value. We recommend using SETJOB to assign a memory partition of

at least 100K. The SETJOB statement looks like this:

SETJOB NETSER,NETSER,100K,NETSER.JIN

The NETSER.JIN file looks like this:

LOG SYSTEM SERVICE

NETSER

Setting Up Sharable Memory

You can either decide to give the VTSER job enough memory to handle all virtual terminal connections,

or set up a sharable memory area that other applications like AlphaTCP and MULTI can use along with

AlphaNET. To set up a sharable memory area, add the SMEM statement to your system initialization

command file, specifying the amount of memory you want to allocate to be shared. (Include a K for

kilobyte, or M for megabyte.) The SMEM statement goes after the last SYSTEM statement. Example:

SMEM 1M

If you are going to use sharable memory, you need to add the /S switch to the VTSER initialization line.
