The UTM has many useful console commands that are not described here. See section 4 of the

UTM User’s Manual for a complete description. Once you have done the initial configuration of

the UTM through the console port, you can access all console commands through the LAN port

via telnet. For example, you should be able to telnet to the UTM from the host on which you

installed the IP-CommKit software.

ONFIGURATION

If you are upgrading a CPM-HS module to a UTM, you don’t need to make any changes to the

BNS node configuration. You can simply remove the CPM-HS module and its I/O distribution

board, and install the UTM and its I/O distribution board in the same slot. The UTM appears as a

CPM-HS module to the controller in the BNS node.

If this is a new installation, you must configure the UTM in the BNS node’s controller database.

The following procedure describes a simple configuration. It consists of entering a group, an

address and a cpm in the controller database.

Before you begin, pick a name that you will use as this host’s address in the BNS network. In

configurations using a single dkserver, it’s convenient to make this address and the group name

the same as the host’s nodename. By default, dkserver announces itself to the BNS node by the

host’s nodename. To determine this name, enter the following command on the host:

$ uname -n

This prints the host’s nodename. Note that the uname(1M) command with no flags is equivalent

to uname -s. This prints the system name, which can be different from the nodename. If you find

this confusing, you can use the setuname(1M) command to make the system name and node

name the same.
