Brian and all who are interested,
As luck would have it, Ron Deen, a regular contributor to the Cassandra
Project, sent me a PDF document showing the overall configuration to get the
51-series hosts to talk to Windows X-terminal emulators using dynamic IP
addresses provided by DHCP. An additional section shows how to set up a
Linux box to provide DHCP and DNS in a private network if you don't already
have those functionalities.
The document is now available at the Cassandra Project Web site:
http://www.thecassandraproject.org/misc/xterm-dns-dhcp15.pdf
It's a 1.2-MB document, so it may take a bit of time to download depending
on your connection.
Here's a synopsis from the document itself:
"This manual attempts to explain how to setup I/A 50 Series
hosts in combination with MS-Windows based X-Terminals having
dynamic IP addresses for the Windows platform. Please note
that this is NOT an Official Foxboro manual. For support you
are suggested to contact one of the authors. They may be able
to help.
"Configuring your X-Terminals is not a part of this manual. I
suggest you have a look at the X-Terminal Installation for
Remote Display Manager and FoxView(tm) manual if that is what you
need to do. This manual is a first attempt to setup and
configure the DNS and DHCP services to work in this specific
environment. This DNS and DHCP functionality is established on
the "Corporate Network" side to which the I/A 50 Series system
is connected through the secondary Ethernet(tm) interface only.
We do appreciate any feedback regarding this subject. Sent
your comments and remarks to the e-mail addresses provided on
the cover page. Thanks in advance."
Many thanks to Ron Deen and Rob de Groot for their contribution.
Duc

Subject: [foxboro] X Terminal
I'm thinking of installing a few "X terminals" but am in need of some
explanations and/or recommendations on hardware and software setups. I plan
to tie to "B" boxes and use DM.
Thanks,
Brian Long
