Transferring HP LaserRX/MPE Files
Use one of the following methods to transfer installation files to your
HP 3000:
* Method 1.
This method uses the DSLOAD procedure, which is provided on the
"MPE V Host Software Install" disk or Disk 1 of the "MPE XL Host
Software Install" disks. To use this method, you must have DSCOPY
and an HP ARPA Services software connection from the HP 3000 to
the PC. This method should take about 15 minutes on an MPE V
system and about 45 minutes on an MPE XL system.
* Method 2.
This method uses the file transfer capability of a terminal
emulator package (such as HP AdvanceLink) that runs on your PC.
You can use this option if you have a serial or LAN connection to
the HP 3000 from the PC. This method should take about 10 minutes
on an MPE V system and about 35 minutes on an MPE XL system.
* Method 3.
This method uses a connection to the target HP 3000 through your
PC's serial port. We recommend that you log on to the HP 3000
before running the Method 1 upload procedure. To speed file
transfer, log on at the fastest baud rate available to you. You
can use this option whether or not you have file-transfer
capability. File transfers using this method should take about 30
minutes on an MPE V system and about 1 hour on an MPE XL system
(at 19200 baud).
NOTE These installation procedures do not change any existing PARM and
SCOPEJOB files in SCOPE.SYS.
Method 1: DSCOPY for HP Network Services Users
To prepare for transferring files using DSCOPY, do the following:
* Verify that the group SCOPE.SYS exists. If it does not exist,
create the group SCOPE.
* Know the node name of the target HP 3000.
* Know all passwords for user MANAGER, account SYS, and group SCOPE.
* Prepare to run DSLOAD by inserting the appropriate host software
installation disk into the A drive.
DSLOAD, the program that accepts parameters and runs DSCOPY, is
provided on Disk 1 of the appropriate disk set. See table MPE-1
to choose the appropriate disk.
To transfer the files, do the following:
1. Type A: and press Enter.
2. Use the DSLOAD command as described for your system:
* MPE V systems - type DSLOAD nodename userpass acctpass
grouppass, where nodename is the node name of the target HP
3000 and userpass acctpass grouppass are the user, account,
and group passwords, if they exist, and press Enter.
(Substitute "" where a password does not exist if another
password follows.)
* MPE XL systems - type DSLOAD systemtype nodename userpass
acctpass grouppass, where systemtype is 22 for version 2.2
systems, 30 for version 3.0 or 3.1 systems, and 40 for
version 4.x systems, nodename is the node name of the
target HP 3000 and userpass acctpass grouppass are the
user, account, and group passwords, if they exist, and
press Enter. (Substitute "" where a password does not
exist if another password follows.)
To get help, enter DSLOAD without parameters.
After the files are transferred, proceed to the "Completing the HP 3000
Software Installation" section of this chapter.
Method 2: Terminal Emulator File Transfer
Enter terminal emulation mode on your PC and do the following:
1. Log on as MANAGER.SYS.
2. Create the SCOPE group, if it does not already exist.
3. Insert the appropriate host software installation disk into drive
A.
4. Copy files to the HP 3000.
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE When you copy files to the HP 3000, file names and
attributes must be provided as specified in table MPE-1 on
the following page.

After transferring the files, proceed to the "Completing the HP 3000
Software Installation" section of this chapter.
NOTE If existing copies of the host files TRUCKPC, UHAULPC, or BUILDRX
are found during the transfer, you will be prompted to purge them.
If this prompt appears, answer "YES" and continue with
installation.
Method 3: Serial Connection Upload
Before beginning installation, be sure to know which PC port connects you
to the HP 3000 (COM1 or COM2) and the baud rate of that PC port.
Choose the appropriate host software disks for your MPE operating system
- MPE V or MPE XL.
To Start the Installation.
1. Log on to the target HP 3000 as MANAGER.SYS.
This procedure sets up the SCOPE.SYS group within the MPE
accounting structure if it does not already exist and copies
programs and supporting files from the PC to the HP 3000 disc
using a serial link.
2. Insert the appropriate host software installation disk into drive
A.
3. Type A: and press Enter.
4. Type UPLOAD and press Enter.
To Complete the Installation.
Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. When prompted, enter
the requested information:
1. Logon and passwords (if you are not already logged on as
MANAGER.SYS).
2. Baud rate (default is 9600).
3. PC port (default is COM1).
