[comp.protocols.appletalk] HELP: K-Star uses old DDP-range.

dik@uva.UUCP (Casper H.S. Dik) (12/20/88)

Hi,

We've recently upgraded from a borrowed KFPS-2 to our own KFPS-4.

After downloading K-star and the configuration parameters,
I couldn't get CAP (atis, Aufs and lwsrv) to work.

I soon found out that the trouble was that we were using the new ddprange.
(200-up, instead of 768-up)
After deleting the at-* entries in /etc/services everything started
working again.
Our atalkad file must be correct, since it worked fine with
the FastPath-2.

Does any one know a way to make K-star use the new ddprange?
(Option parameters?)
Soon we are going te reorganise all our Kinetices boxes and
I think it would be better if they all used the new range.

We're using a KFPS 4 Rom rev 4.1 FastPath Manager II 4.1,
K-star rev 5.03, CAP 5.0 and atalkad from KIP 06/88.

Thanks,

Casper H.S. Dik

K-STAR was designed, coded, etc., before the new ddprange was announced.
We could have added the new range, but didn't (for a variety of reasons).
There is, currently, no way of configuring K-STAR to use the new ddprange.

There is a lot of interest in using the new range.  A new version of K-STAR
which supports the new range will be made available sometime during the
first quarter of 1989.
