MPE/iX Configuration and SYSGEN Default Configuration for 99x with SCSI Boot Device (CONFG99x) 2. (Non-preloaded and preloaded systems shipped before March 15, 1993) In the default configuration group, LDEV 21 is incorrectly assigned to an HPC2204A disk. To use the remote support modem, call up the SYSGEN program to assign LDEV 21 to a HP28639-60001-CONSOLE-TERMINAL, and change the I/O path to 0/44.1 (see procedure earlier in the chapter).
Power and Space Budgeting for HP-PB Card Cage. NOTE HP-PB Slot Priority: On HP-PB, the higher the slot number, the higher the priority. However, priority is not that important, since each module can get one transaction during each transaction interval. Rules of thumb: 99x: Install cards for disk drives in higher numbered (higher priority) slots, but below LAN/console card.
1. A maximum of 5 connections for SCSI and a maximum of 5 connections for HP-FL (PB-FL). Remaining slots can be used for other non-disk activity as long as power limits are not violated. This limit applies to single disks as well as disk arrays.

Configuring the Remote Support Modem General Guidelines General Guidelines General hints for configuring remote support modems: The modem must be set up to respond to DTR. CTS should follow RTS. DSR must follow OH, not DCD. For Bell mode, the modem should disregard RTS. Set both local and remote modems to either: The same compression mode, OR To NO data compression.
Settings Two sets of configuration switches on the HP 50759A are on the underside of the modem. One set (Set S) consists of eight switches. The other set (Set X) consists of four switches.

(92219Q or A1703-63006) the same line is driven by the Console/LAN card and the modem. CAUTION This modem should not be used because all HP cables connect circuit 111 to the modem. If this modem is connected, circuit 111 will be driven by both the Console/LAN card and the modem.
Configuring the Remote Support Modem Configuring Individual Modems Supported cables: Must use 92219Q modem cable. Auto-dial modes: Hayes. This modem does not work with v.22bis because it does not supply 112 and because the sense of 111 is backwards (TRUE means low speed, FALSE means high speed). The problem that 111 is backwards can be remedied by configuring the modem to ignore 111.
