6562.0. "SWCC + serial port -> HSJ52 x 25" by JOBURG::HARRIS () Tue Apr 08 1997 12:37

Hello 

I have put SWCC on My Laptop and have a couple of questions.
  (I also checked out the SWCC video but that too did not answer 
   my questions)
1. Can I manage HSJ52's with SWCC?
2. I have seen SWCC being operated via the HS controller serial 
   port - How is this done? I could find only "Local connection ...
   see network conection ...which pointed back to local 
   connection help blurb!!!  I could find no ref a setup of the 
   serial port in the V1.1 SWCC? 

3. I have 25 HSJ52 controllers I need to manage/access with SWCC
   even if it is via the serial port.

   Is subsys::bodemann still the person to contact?

   Any help with the above that will assist in getting acess to the HS
   controllers will be greatly appreciated.   

   Regards 
   Ivan

    I don't think the HSJ's are supported yet.  Check with Product
    management on time-frames.

6562.2Via Serial Port ...JOBURG::HARRISSun Apr 13 1997 02:147
    RE .1 Hello JP
    
    Surely if you use the Serial port then the majority of the command set
    opperates?

    I guess you could always try it.  But I think the HSJ is not officially
    supported yet as a controller under SWCC V 1.0
6562.4How would I enable setup & connection of Serial JOBURG::HARRISMon Apr 14 1997 00:5112
    back to the original question
    
    How is this done? I could find only "Local connection ...
       see network conection ...which pointed back to local
       connection help blurb!!!  I could find no ref a setup of the
       serial port in the V1.1 SWCC?
    Even if is was a HSZxx, there appears to be no "setting" even though
    there is a sort of hint of it in the help file.??
    
    Thanks

6562.5"....exe" DIRECT SWCC HSJ HSZ HSDJOBURG::HARRISTue Apr 15 1997 01:5812
    OK, I found it, 
    Command line for WIN95
    ".....exe" DIRECT
    
    But as I exspected, some functions are OK for HSJ....BUT as I was
    warned.....not even worth trying.....
    
    I eagerly await SWCC V2.2 (Or is it SWCC V2.1) (I believe non existant
    today!)
