SYSTEM TOOLSTHE PROFILE TOOL, INSTALL LISP TOOL AND DIAGNOSTICSWhen the Xerox 1108 is in the base state (a bouncing white square on a dark background,) TheInstallLispTool, Profile Tool and Diagnostics can be invoked. Base state is entered by doing a 1-boot. If the bouncing white square does not appear, make sure you have correctly pre-loadedsoftware, as described in Installing Software on the Diagnostics Volume.Each of these tools displays its own window, containing parameters and commands. These areselected with the left mouse button. Parameter menus are available in some cases, and they may beselected by pressing either both mouse buttons on a two-button mouse, or using the middle mousebutton on a three- button mouse. Hereafter, the parameter selection will be referred to as themiddle mouse button.The Delete and Next function keys may also be used in the Install Tool and Profile Tool windows. bp>- ]nqN&ra W^qN3 TVsq s4 Rb QN] Oq-s L[ K>b I_ H6` F C` B%q @Z<"Q2The Profile ToolThe Profile Tool enables the user to select a number of default parameters to be used wheninstalling fresh Interlisp-D sysouts from a FileServer. The defaults will appear in the InstallTool Window (see below), and may be changed there if necessary.Summary:* to activate the tool, click middle mouse button* select the parameters you wish to set or change* select Set Profile command* confirm the mouse iconDetails:The Profile window is divided into the following regions:* a herald name, consisting of Profile Tool date and time of creation* a two-line message sub-window, which is blank* a parameter sub-window* a command sub-window* a file sub window for messagesThe Profile Window contains these parameters:User:Password:Domain:Organization:FileServer: {IFS, NS}NSLisp:PUPLisp:PARAMETER ITEMSUser: Your NS/Pup registered user name.Password: Associated with registered name for login. You do not have to supply your passwordin the Profile; you may type it into the Install Tool window.Domain: Name defined in your Clearinghouse database.Organization: Name defined in your Clearinghouse database.If you do not have an NS Fileserver, the Domain and Organization names may be names of yourchoice.File Server: Selects the type of File Server protocol (NS or IFS)NSLisp: Complete pathway filename of the Lisp sysout file to be retrieved from an NS typeFileServer.PUPLisp: Complete pathway filename of the Lisp sysout file to be retrieved from a PUP typeFileServer.Nfq at] ^qNZ ]K` [?

Floppy! Help!Erase Volume! Scavenge Volume!Remote Boot! Quit!Certain parameters are relevant to certain commands. The Defaults from the Profile Tool willappear in the File Server, File, User, Password, Domain and Organization fields. For example,check the default FileServer, and File name you want to install. Enter the Volume name for theinstallation if not the default. Enter your user name and password if these were not defaulted, aswell as Domain and Organization. You are then ready to button Install File.Using the middle mouse button on Doc, File Server, or Volume Menu changes the shape of thearrow to horizontal, and pops up a menu of values which may be selected.Using the middle mouse button on any of the parameters also changes the shape of the arrow tohorizontal, and reveals the Window Manager, which may be used to Move the Install Tool'swindow.PARAMETER ITEMSDoc: Used in conjunction with the Help command. The General doc displays the write-up of theInstallLispTool (the document you're reading now). The ErrorMsg doc displays the meanings ofthe error messages you may encounter when selecting a command, in the file sub-window. Thefile sub-window may be scrolled on the left hand side. You may want to use Zoom (parameter inthe Window Manger) to enlarge the window to full-screen size to display the entire General orErrorMsg document.File Server: Selects file server protocol types used with the Install File command.File: Complete pathway name of the Lisp sysout file to be retrieved from the File Server. Forexample, an NS File might be: [Phylex:XSIS:Xerox]LispClass.sysoutAn equivalent but shorter NS File name is:[Phylex:]LispClass.sysoutAn example of an IFS pathway would be: [Rose]Demo.sysoutThe Server, Domain and Organization naming convention restricts these to AlphaNumerics plusthe following special characters: " - : # SP (SPACE). The first character must be a letter, or elsethe error message "scan error on Server:Domain:Organization" will be posted.Nfq at] ^qN62[J2YN2Xx2V2UpA Rh: O`3g MB LX5 J5 IP5 FH C@  " 0 8] A " +.q >] =/^ ;^ :'c 8M 5Z 4H 1^ /X . ){ &s_ $] #j[ !^ b]  T _ JM * B% :? 2[ d *L z =](4Volume Menu: The menu selections available with the two-button or center button pop-up menuare determined when your system is partitioned. The volume named Lisp is the default value forthis field. The Diagnostics Volume contains the Diagnostics Files loaded from the floppy disk ofthe same name. The Boot Lisp Volume contains a fresh Lisp sysout, which can be selected by theRemote Boot command, rather than reloading fresh Lisp from floppy disks.VMem Size (Pages): Shows the Virtual Memory size for the Volume parameter. At the presenttime, users cannot change this parameter; it is a development tool only.User: NS/Pup registered user name.Password: Associated with registered name for login.Domain: Name defined in your Clearinghouse database.Organization: Name defined in your Clearinghouse database.If you do not have an NS Fileserver, the Domain and Organization names may be names of yourchoice.COMMAND ITEMSInstall File: Installs the file named in the File parameter and fetches it from the File Server tothe 1108 partition named in the Volume parameter. A confirming mouse icon will appear in thefile sub-window with the name of the Volume to which the File will be installed from the FileServer. The file transfer can be aborted with the STOP key.Start Volume: Boots the Lisp Volume parameter. There is a confirming mouse icon for thiscommand.Set VMem Size: Extends the Virtual Memory size of a Volume according to parameters. Asmentioned earlier, this parameter cannot be changed by users yes; it is a development tool.Floppy: (Not yet Implemented)Erase Volume: Selected Volume parameter contents erased. There is a confirming mouse iconfor this command.Scavenge Volume: Scavenges selected volume and produces MSScavenge.log file in that volume.There is a confirming mouse icon for this command. The file sub-window message is:Volume = LispnScavenging...donevolume repaired, file log completeN files on volumeNo problems found.Remote Boot: Cross-copies boot file from one volume (Source) to another (Destination). TheSource volume must be a fresh Lisp sysout to be boot-able. This command does not use theparameters. Its selection brings up the Remote Boot window, explained below.Details:The Remote Boot Option window is divided into the following regions:* a herald name consisting of Remote Boot Option date and time of creation* a two line message sub-window, which is blank when first invoked* a parameter sub-window for Source and Destination volume names* a command sub-window for Start or Quit* a file sub-window for messages.Nfq `N\ __ ]a \` ZH W[ UH R# O5 L5 I; F[ EQ BI ?Ac =] <8] :< 7Z 6( 3 X 1[ . +[ * '\ %|S # s "sq " k  \ [Y M S KD CJ B ;@ ( 3!  =A^5The parameters and commands appear:Source Volume:Dest.Volume:Start!Quit!PARAMETER ITEMSSource Volume: Partition's Volume name (e.g. BootLisp, Lisp, Lisp2, Lisp3), from which thefresh Lisp sysout will be copied.Dest.Volume: Destination Volume name (e.g. Lisp, Lisp2, Lisp3) to which the sysout will becopied.COMMAND ITEMSStart: Does the obvious. File sub-window asks for confirmation of Source and Destination withthe mouse icon.

These tests arefor the Display, Keyboard, Echo Test (Ethernet), and Floppy Disk Drive (including Cleaning--seeMaintenance section of this manual).All of the tests are documented online through the Help command.Summary:* to activate, click the right mouse button* select the Test to be Executed* select the parameter(s) for the Test* select command* or select Help command to get the documentation on the TestsThe Diagnostics window consists of:* the herald name Diagnostics* a command and parameter sub-window* a file sub-window for messages and documentationDetails:To read all of the documentation, you may find it convenient to use the middle mouse button toinvoke the Window Manager, activate Zoom with the horizontal arrow, and then move the topline of the file sub-window upwards by using the left mouse button positioning the cursor on thebox on the right hand side of this line.COMMANDSHelp: Used with parameter "None", displays the complete documentation on how to use theDiagnostics window, including the Window Manager. Used with one of the parameters, displaysthe complete documentation for that Test.Start and Cancel: Start the test selected or quit the Diagnostics program.PARAMETERSType of test to be executed:Display, Keyboard, Echo, Floppy Disk Drive.
