Abstract: RSTS/E MOP Server performs the following functions:
. Provides the operating software for DECservers upon
  request by the server.
. Receives crash dumps from DECservers upon request by the
  server.  Such crash dumps are in the proper format for
  analysis by Digital Equipment Corporation software support.
. Logs all requested and successful load/dump requests to
  the system console (in DECnet/E event format) and to a log
  file.
 
RSTS/E MOP Server can be configured to accept or reject
requests from servers not in the configuration file.  This
can be used to restrict loading to a subset of the servers
configured on the Ethernet.  Additionally, a
user-configurable delay is available so that a supported
load host has a chance to load the server first, with
RSTS/E MOP Server assuming a backup mode of operation.  The
default load image name for the server is supported via a
mapping table which maps the image name requested by the
server into a valid RSTS/E file specification.  Also included
is a demonstration program, CNODE, which implements an interface
identical to the VMS CONNECT NODE command, which allows a
RSTS user to establish a session with the maintenance port on
a DECserver.
 
Release notes are distributed with each order.
 
Restrictions: Operating System RSTS/E V9.4 or later is required.
Executable and/or object
code is included.
