Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The Intermodule Window

The Intermodule window shows a graphical representation of the internal arming sequence between measurement modules, and any external trigger connections to a target system or other instruments. In measurements using multiple instruments tools or analyzers, the Intermodule window is used to modify the order that measurement modules are armed to trigger, and to compensate for any timing deviations (skew adjust) between the modules probing.

The purpose of using multiple instruments or analyzers in the same measurement is generally for two reasons. The first is to capture different types of system data at the same point in time. The second reason is to trigger the measurement from one type of data while capturing a different type.

For example, you might have a timing analyzer trigger on a glitch, and at the same time, signal an oscilloscope to capture the glitch and a state analyzer to capture the program flow around the glitch.

System Administration Privileges

Your System Administrator is the first person who accesses the User Accounts dialog and gives himself system administration privileges.

From that point forward, the User Accounts... pick is unavailable for all users except the users with system administration privileges. There can be more than one System Administrator. However, the first administrator must initially give all other administrators privileges so they can gain access to the restricted areas when they login the first time. If User Accounts are not used, all users have system administration privileges.

At the time users login, the system software checks for system administration privileges and sets the appropriate access mask on all restricted areas of the system.

Only the System Administrator can perform the following system-level tasks:

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

• Configure the network.

• Enable or Disable the Secure Mode and the use of user accounts.

• Add and remove individual user accounts.

• Set the system-wide default file permissions (see page 88).

• Set user permissions for new file creation.

• Set the system time.

• Set NFS export permissions from the logic analysis system.

Hostname

The Hostname is the name of your local computer or logic analysis system. The name can contain only lower case letters, numbers, underscores(_), and dashes(-). It must start with a lowercase letter. Get the hostname from your system administrator.

Internet Address (IP)

The Internet Address (IP) is a four-part code in integer dot notation. The assignment of an internet address uniquely identifies your computer among all those located on your network or any other network. Get this IP address from your system administrator.

See Also “Using the Name Resolver to Alias IP Addresses” on page 21

Gateway Name

The Gateway name is the name of the computer that routes traffic from one network to another. If you plan to communicate with a computer on a different network, you must specify the gateway computer name. No entry in this field will disable the gateway. The

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

gateway name can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, underscores(_), and dashes(-). It must start with a lowercase letter. Get the gateway name from your system administrator.

Gateway IP

The Gateway IP is a four-part code in integer dot notation. The assignment of the gateway IP allows the logic analysis system to connect between other networks and subnetworks. The gateway IP must be set to the address of the gateway machine. No entry in this field will disable the gateway. Get the gateway address from your system administrator.

Subnet Mask

The Subnet Mask is an assigned group of bits that helps to quickly identify your subnetwork. If you have a gateway machine and your network is partitioned into subnetworks, you must specify a subnet mask. The subnet mask is a four-part code in integer dot notation. An example of an 18-bit subnet mask is shown below. Get the subnet mask from your system administrator.

Emulation Network Setup

Emulation probes, both standalone and interconnected to an emulation module, need to be configured with LAN parameters.

The procedure for starting an connecting an emulation probe to the network depends on which kind of emulator you are using:

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

• Setting Up an E5900A Emulation Probe (see the Emulation: Setting Up help volume)

• Setting Up an E5900B Emulation Probe (see the Emulation: Setting Up help volume)

• Setting Up an E5901B Emulation Module (see the Emulation: Setting Up help volume)

An easy way to configure an emulation probe is to use the Setup Assistant. Use the Setup Assistant if:

• You have a single E5900B emulation probe interconnected to an E5901B emulation module, or

• You have an emulation probe and NO emulation module is installed in your logic analysis system.

The Setup Assistant will not allow you to set up a standalone emulation probe if an emulation module is installed.

See Also • Using an E5901A Emulation Module on Your LAN (see the Emulation:

Setting Up help volume)

• To obtain LAN information (see the Emulation: Setting Up help volume)

• The Setup Assistant (see the Setup Assistant help volume)

Using the Name Resolver to Alias IP Addresses

The Name Resolver is used to assign custom names (aliases) to the Internet IP addresses. With an alias assigned to the Internet IP Address, you simply type in the alias in any IP address field. The configuration interprets it as the correct IP address. Alias names are usually set in either a local Host Table or a Name Server on the network.

1. From the Network Setup dialog, click Name Resolver....

2. In the Name Resolution Dialog, select Host Table and click the text entry field for the alias names.

3. Type in the Internet IP Address (see page 19) followed by a space, and

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

then the alias name.

4. Click Add.

5. Click OK.

Mapping Windows/NT Network Drives

The Map Windows Drive dialog is used to designate a share in a Windows/NT computer to be available for file operations performed from the logic analysis system.

NOTE: The logic analysis system only allows the use of one mapped directory per

server at a time. If more than one directory must be mapped, you must disconnect the previously connected share before mapping the new one. Also, do not disconnect a share mapping while files are being accessed. The resulting file contention may cause long delays or an unstable logic analysis system.

There are two ways to connect to a remote file system. One way is to create a new connection. The other way is to reconnect to a previous connection.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

Creating a New Connection

1. Type in the Network Path (see page 25). The network path consists of the IP address or the server name, followed by the specified share name.

2. Type in the Logic Analyzer Dir Path (see page 25).

3. Set the Reconnect at Startup (see page 24) as desired. When activated, this feature automatically re-establishes the Windows/NT connectivity to the logic analyzer directory at each new analyzer session startup. Set the Read Only if necessary. See the note below.

4. Optional - Type in the Login Information (see page 25) if the share is protected.

5. Optional - Click Advanced... to correct inconsistent naming (see page 26) of the Windows netbios computer and the TCP/IP hostname.

6. Click Connect.

NOTE: If the CD-ROM you are using is shared from a Windows 95 server, the Read

Only field must be enabled.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

Choose a Previous Connection

If a connection has been made in the past, the connection and its options will appear in a dialog found by clicking the Previous... button. To re-establish a previous connection, do the following.

1. Click Previous....

2. Select the desired connection from the list in the PC Previous Connections dialog.

3. Click Select.

NOTE: For security reasons, password information is not saved when the Previous

dialog is used. In this case, you are required to re-enter Share passwords.

Disconnect a Current Connection

A list of Current Connections appears at the bottom of the dialog. This is a list of all connections to remote file systems. If you Disconnect a share mapping when either a file is still open, or a file operation is in progress, the resulting file contention may cause long delays or an unstable system. Terminate all file operations and interaction with the remote file system before you disconnect the share mapping.

To disconnect a share mapping, click the desired connection in the Current Connections list, and then click Disconnect.

Reconnect at Startup

If you plan to reconnect at each startup, make sure to enable the feature when you configure the connection the first time. This field cannot be edited. The only way to change the configuration is to disconnect, and then configure as a new connection. Also, be sure to keep the connection active when you exit a session. In other words, do not select the Disconnect field at the bottom of the dialog when you exit a session.

NOTE: For security reasons, you cannot reconnect to a PC share map that is

password protected.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

Network Path

What you type into the Network Path field will take the form \\computer_name\share_name, where computer_name is the IP address or name of the Windows server you are connecting to.

You can locate the computer name by right-clicking on Network Neighborhood under the Windows system, then selecting Properties from the pull-down menu. Locate the tab labeled Identification and the Computer Name is specified there.

The share_name is the name that was specified for the Share Name in the share dialog on the server where the share was created. To find the Share Name under a Windows system, go to the drive where the share is located, right-click on the directory, then select Sharing from the pull-down menu. The share name is specified in the dialog that appears.

Logic Analyzer Directory Path

The Logic Analyzer Dir Path points to the directory location in the analyzer that is mapped to the Windows share. The directory is based off of the main directory /hplogic/. The default name given to the subdirectory is the same as the Share Name designated in the Network Path field.

NOTE: Some characters such as "$" are not allowed in UNIX filenames. If a Share

Name has one of these characters in its name, the default Logic Analyzer Dir

Path will be illegal, and you must change it manually.

Login Information

The Login Information is only required if the share is password or account protected, that is, it is NOT a public share. If the share is a Windows 95 share, with ONLY password protection, typically only the User Account/Share Password field is required. If the share is a Windows NT/95 share that is protected on a user account basis, the User Account Name and User Account/Share Password fields are both required. If the share is protected on a user account basis with NT domain authentication, all fields are required.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

User Account Name

This field allows the user to specify what his login account name is. This is required for a share that has its permissions based on user accounts.

User Account/Share Password

This field allows the user to specify the password for either his account, or just the password for a share that is password protected. Note that this field will display "*" characters as you type your password for security purposes.

NOTE: If you are mapping to a Windows system, and after entering the User Account/

Share Password you have trouble connecting, try entering the Windows Domain Name.

Windows Domain Name

This field allows the user to specify the name of the domain the user account name should be authenticated under. This may be a necessary field if the Windows server is using NT domain authentication.

Naming Server and Client Netbios Names

NOTE: This operation may require the help of your System Administrator

Use the Advanced... field to access a dialog used to correct naming inconsistencies between the Windows netbios computer name and the TCP/IP hostname of the same computer. The logic analysis system must be provided with the name that is specified under the Windows netbios environment.

For example, a Windows PC with the computer name of "testpc" is connected to a TCP/IP network with an internet address of "joepc.company.com". Since "testpc" and "joe-pc" are different names, the logic analysis system has no way of knowing the two names point to the same computer.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

Server Netbios Name

This field is used to specify the netbios name of the Windows server PC with the share you wish to map. This name can be found by rightclicking on the Network Neighborhood icon on the server PC and selecting Properties. The Identification tab in the dialog that appears will show the name of the computer.

Client Netbios Name

This field is used to specify the netbios name of the logic analysis system if it is different from the hostname specified in the Network Setup dialog. You will need to contact your network administrator if you do not know what the netbios name of the logic analysis system is.

NOTE: For convenience, it is usually easier to make sure these two names are the

same so the Advanced... field is not necessary.

Share Analyzer Drive

The Share Logic Analyzer Directory dialog is used to designate a directory in the logic analysis system to be available for file operation performed from a Windows/NT computer.

NOTE: If you are configuring a Windows/NT share for the first time, your system

administrator may have to set up the appropriate permissions and security

on the remote computer.

There are two ways to share a logic analysis directory to remote Windows/NT systems. One way is to create a new share. The other way is to reconnect to a previous share.

Creating a New Share

1. Type the directory name that you want accessible from a Windows/NT computer.

The directory you choose must be a sub-directory based off of / hplogic/. You can also use the Browse field to access a graphical file

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

manager to help in specifying a directory name.

2. Type in the Share Name (see page 29).

3. Optional - Type in a Share Comment (see page 30).

4. Set the Reshare at Startup as desired. When activated, this feature automatically re-establishes the share connectivity to the remote Windows/NT computer at each new analyzer session startup. See the note below.

5. Optional - Type in a Share Password (see page 30), and then retype the password to verify it was typed correctly.

6. Click Share.

NOTE: If you plan to Reshare at each startup, make sure to enable the feature, and be

sure to keep the share as a current active share. In other words, do not select the UnShare field at the bottom of the dialog when you exit a session.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

Choose a Previous Share

If a connection has been made in the past, the connection and its options will appear in a dialog found by clicking the Previous... button. To re-establish a previous Share, do the following.

1. Click Previous..

2. Select the desired Share from the list of PC Previous Connections.

3. Click Select.

NOTE: For security reasons, password information is not saved when the Previous

dialog is used. In this case, you are required to re-enter Share passwords.

Disconnect a Current Share

A list of Current Shares appears at the bottom of the dialog. This is a list of all remote file system connections that are sharing the file system of the logic analysis system. If you UnShare a share mapping when either a file is still open, or a file operation is in progress, the resulting file contention may cause long delays or an unstable system. Terminate all file operations and interaction with the remote file system before you disconnect the share mapping.

To disconnect a current share, click the desired connection in the Current Shares list, and then click UnShare.

Share Name

The Share Name is simply a literal name for the share. By default, a name is assigned using the base name of the directory name. The base name is the text to the right of the front-slash (/) in the path name.

Example: If the directory name path you choose is /hplogic/test_1, then the default Share Name would be test_1.

You can change the default name if you desire. Directory names can only include the following alphanumeric characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z, (-), (+), (_), (.), (/), and (:).

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

Share Comment

Use the Share Comments field to tag a Share directory with a desired note. Any Share Comment you type, is displayed with the Share Name when browsing the logic analyzer directories from a remote Windows/ NT computer.

Using a Share Password

If a Share Password is used, the user of the Windows/NT computer will be prompted to type in the password before being allowed to perform file operations in the logic analyzer directory.

NOTE: If no Share Password is used, the logic analyzer directory will have open

access with no file security.

Changing a Share Password

If a Share is set up to use a password, it will show up in the list of currently active shares as being password protected. To change the password on a currently active share, follow the procedure below.

To change an encrypted password, follow the procedure below.

1. Select the Share in the Current Shares list.

2. Select UnShare.

3. Select the Previous... field, and then select the Share from the list.

4. Type in a Share Password, and then retype the password to verify it was typed correctly.

5. Select Share.

Configuring the NFS

The NFS Client Setup (Network File System) dialog lets you create network connections to remote computers for the purpose of mounting their file systems to your local logic analysis system.

The benefit of a mounted file system is that you can interact with the

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

remote directories/files using the File Manager in the logic analysis system. You also have the benefit of using the disk space in the remote computer rather than the disk space in the logic analysis system.

After an NFS connection is made, you will access the remote directories/files under the /hplogic directory in the logic analysis system.

NOTE: If you are configuring an NFS mount for the first time, your system

administrator may have to set up the appropriate permissions and security

on the remote computer.

There are two ways to connect to a remote file system. One is to create a new connection. The other is to reconnect to a previous connection.

Creating a New Connection

1. From the Networking tab in the System Administration Tools window, click

Mount NFS Filesystem ....

2. From the NFS Client Setup dialog that appears, type in the Remote host: (see page 32) name. Optional - Use Browse Hosts... (see page 33) to select a remote host and a remote directory path from a predefined list.

3. Type in the Remote dir path: (see page 32).

4. Type the Local dir path: (see page 33). Optional - Use Browse Local... (see page 33) to select a directory path from a predefined list.

FTP (file transfer protocol)

Once you have established an FTP (file transfer protocol) connection, you can perform FTP commands on files in both the logic analysis system and a remote workstation, PC. If you are in Secure Mode, you can only perform FTP commands from the logic analysis system.

The following example copies a password file to a remote system, and then copies it back to the logic analysis system.

1. From the Networking tab in the System Administration Tools window, click

FTP ....

2. In the FTP Site dialog that appears, type the alias name or IP address of the remote workstation, PC, or other logic analysis system, and click OK. See the note below.

3. In the FTP window that appears, type your Login, and press the Enter key.

4. Type in your Password, and press the Enter key.

5. From the ftp window that appears, copy the example file "password.example" to a directory in the remote system. For example: put /local_etc/password.example /"remote_dir_name"/.

6. Copy the file back to the logic analysis system. For example: get / "remote_dir_name"/"new_filename" /local_etc/.

To Terminate the FTP Session

To terminate your FTP connection, type "quit".

NOTE: Alias names that are not located in /etc/host on your remote machine may not

be recognized by the logic analysis system. If this is the case, use the Internet IP address instead of the alias name.

FTP Connection from PC to Logic Analysis System

More on Self Tests

Self Test lets you get confidence that the hardware is configured and operating correctly, and enables the HP factory to test the product.

Self Tests and Session Management

When Self Test is entered, the current measurement session is exited. You are warned of this prior to entering Self Test so you can save any important data and configurations. The closure of the measurement session is necessary because Self Test leaves the hardware in an unknown state when it is finished. Restarting the measurement session is then required to properly initialize the hardware.

Testing Multi-Card Modules

Under each tab is a list of boards or measurement modules. When selected, each individual board or module lists a set of its own individual tests. Some measurement modules are composed of multiple cards where one card is called the master and the others are called expanders. Self tests for a multiple card set are always tested through the master card. Test results for the expander cards will track results for the master card. In some cases, the self tests can identify a problem to either an expander or master card. In this case, the failure counts shown on an expander card may differ from those shown for a master card.

Test Options

Test options are set from the Options pulldown in the menu bar. They are provided only as a convenience to the user. They are intended for factory use only.

Setting Up User Accounts

When you power up the instrument for the first time, you are in an open-networked unsecured mode. Any user can access the logic analysis system and store data with no record of access. By definition, you are in the open-networked mode when Secure Mode is disabled.

User accounts are useful when large project teams share lab equipment. In this environment, one or more users are set up with a user account and given a login and password. User accounts add the security of restricted use, plus the ability to trace all network activity and file ownership. By definition, you are in the secured user accounts mode when your System Administrator enables the Secure Mode field.

For more information on the user environment, refer to The User Environment and Session Control (see page 86).

The default factory configuration is the open-networked unsecured mode. Use the following procedures to set up user accounts and add security to your system through the Secure Mode. You can set up user accounts either individually, or by importing a file.

NOTE: Any user can set up user accounts and become the system administrator the

first time the User Accounts dialog is accessed. To modify user account after Secure Mode has been enabled, System Administration Privileges. (see page 18) are required.

Adding User Accounts Individually

To modify user information in the accounts list, click the desired User Account, make the appropriate changes in the Account Information dialog, and then click Modify.

Legal Passwords

• Passwords must be at least 6 characters long.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

• Passwords cannot be circular shift of your login ID.

• Old and new passwords must differ by at least 3 positions.

Passwd Man Page

The following man page documents the use of a password file.

NAME passwd - password file, pwd.h

DESCRIPTION passwd contains the following information for each user:

+ login name + encrypted password + numerical user ID + numerical group ID + reserved field, which can be used for identification + initial working directory + program to use as shell

This is an ASCII file. Each field within each user’s entry is separated from the next by a colon. Each user is separated from the next by a newline. This file resides in the /etc directory. It can and does have general read permission and can be used, for example, to map numerical user IDs to names. If the password field is null and the system has not been converted to a trusted system, no password is demanded.

If the shell field is null, /usr/bin/sh is used.

The encrypted password consists of 13 characters chosen from a 64 character set of "digits" described below, except when the password is null, in which case the encrypted password is also null. Login can be prevented by entering in the password field a character that is not part of the set of digits (such as *).

The characters used to represent "digits" are . for 0, / for 1, 0 through 9 for 2 through 11, A through Z for 12 through 37, and a through z for 38 through 63.

PASSWORD AGE Password aging is put in effect for a particular user if his encrypted password in the password file is followed by a comma and a nonnull string of characters from the above alphabet. (Such a string must be introduced in the first instance by a superuser.) This string defines the "age" needed to implement password aging.

The first character of the age, M, denotes the maximum number of weeks for which a password is valid. A user who attempts to login after his password has expired is forced to supply a new one. The next character, m, denotes the minimum period in weeks that must expire before the password can be changed. The remaining characters define the week (counted from the beginning of 1970) when the password was last changed (a null string is equivalent to zero). M and m have numerical values in the range 0 through 63 that correspond to the 64 character set of "digits" shown above. If m = M = 0 (derived from the string . or ..), the user is forced to change his password next time he logs in (and the "age" disappears from his entry in the password file). If m > M (signified, for example, by the string ./), then only a superuser (not the user) can change the password. Not allowing the user to ever change the password is discouraged, especially on a trusted system.

Trusted systems support password aging and password generation. For more information on converting to trusted system and on password, see

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

the HP-UX System Administration Tasks Manual and sam(1M).

getpwent(3C) designates values to the fields in the following structure declared in <pwd.h>:

struct passwd { char *pw_name; char *pw_passwd; uid_t pw_uid; gid_t pw_gid; char *pw_age; char *pw_comment; char *pw_gecos; char *pw_dir; char *pw_shell; aid_t pw_audid; int pw_audflg; };

It is suggested that the range 0-99 not be used for user and group IDs (pw_uid and pw_gid in the above structure) so that IDs that might be assigned for system software do not conflict.

The user’s full name, office location, extension, and home phone stored in the pw_gecos field of the passwd structure can be set by use of the chfn command (see chfn(1)) and is used by the finger(1) command. These two commands assume the information in this field is in the order listed above. A portion of the user’s real name can be represented in the pw_gecos field by an & character, which some utilities (including finger) expand by substituting the login name for it and shifting the first letter of the login name to uppercase.

SECURITY FEATURES On trusted systems, the encrypted password for each user is stored in the file /tcb/files/auth/c/user_name (where c is the first letter in user_name). Password information files are not accessible to the public. The encrypted password can be longer than 13 characters . For example, the password file for user david is stored in /tcb/files/auth/d/david. In addition to the password, the user profile in /tcb/files/auth/c/user_name also contains:

+ numerical audit ID + numerical audit flag

Like /etc/passwd, this file is an ASCII file. Fields within each user’s entry are separated by colons. Refer to authcap(4) and prpwd(4) for details. The passwords contained in /tcb/files/auth/c/* take precedence over those contained in the encrypted password field of /etc/passwd. User authentication is done using the encrypted passwords in this file . The password aging mechanism described in passwd(1), under the section called SECURITY FEATURES, applies to this password .

NETWORKING FEATURES NFS The passwd file can have entries that begin with a plus (+) or minus (-) sign in the first column. Such lines are used to access the Network Information System network database. A line beginning with a plus (+) is used to incorporate entries from the Network Information System. There are three styles of + entries:

+ Insert the entire contents of the Network Information System password file at that point;

+name Insert the entry (if any) for name from the Network Information System at that point

+@name Insert the entries for all members of the network group name at that point.

If a + entry has a nonnull password, directory, gecos, or shell field, they override what is contained in the Network Information System.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

The numerical user ID and group ID fields cannot be overridden.

The passwd file can also have lines beginning with a minus (-), which disallow entries from the Network Information System. There are two styles of - entries:

-name Disallow any subsequent entries (if any) for name.

-@name Disallow any subsequent entries for all members of the network group name.

WARNINGS User ID (uid) 17 is reserved for the Pascal Language operating system. User ID (uid) 18 is reserved for the BASIC Language operating system. These are operating systems for Series 300 and 400 computers that can coexist with HP-UX on the same disk. Using these uids for other purposes may inhibit file transfer and sharing.

The login shell for the root user (uid 0) must be /sbin/sh. Other shells such as sh, ksh, and csh are all located under the /usr directory which may not be mounted during earlier stages of the bootup process. Changing the login shell of the root user to a value other than /sbin/sh may result in a non-functional system.

The information kept in the pw_gecos field may conflict with unsupported or future uses of this field. Use of the pw_gecos field for keeping user identification information has not been formalized within any of the industry standards. The current use of this field is derived from its use within the Berkeley Software Distribution. Future standards may define this field for other purposes.

The following fields have character limitations as noted:

+ Login name field can be no longer than 8 characters;

+ Initial working directory field can be no longer than 63 characters;

+ Program field can be no longer than 44 characters.

+ Results are unpredictable if these fields are longer than the limits specified above.

The following fields have numerical limitations as noted:

+ The user ID is an integer value between -2 and UID_MAX inclusive.

+ The group ID is an integer value between 0 and UID_MAX inclusive.

+ If either of these values are out of range, the getpwent(3C) functions reset the ID value to (UID_MAX).

EXAMPLES NFS Example Here is a sample /etc/passwd file:

root:3Km/o4Cyq84Xc:0:10:System Administrator:/:/sbin/sh joe:r4hRJr4GJ4CqE:100:50:Joe User,Post 4A,12345:/home/joe:/usr/bin/ksh +john:

-bob: +@documentation:no-login:

-@marketing: +:::Guest

In this example, there are specific entries for users root and joe, in case the Network Information System are out of order.

+ User john’s password entry in the Network Information System is incorporated without change.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The System Administration Tools

+ Any subsequent entries for user bob are ignored.

+ The password field for anyone in the netgroup documentation is disabled.

+ Users in netgroup marketing are not returned by getpwent(3C) and thus are not allowed to log in.

+ Anyone else can log in with their usual password, shell, and home directory, but with a pw_gecos field of Guest.

NFS Warnings The plus (+) and minus (-) features are NFS functionality; therefore, if NFS is not installed, they do not work. Also, these features work only with /etc/passwd, but not with a system that has been converted to a trusted system. When the system has been converted to a trusted system, the encrypted passwords can be accessed only from the protected password database, /tcb/files/auth/*/*. Any user entry in the Network Information System database also must have an entry in the protected password database.

The uid of -2 is reserved for remote root access by means of NFS. The pw_name usually given to this uid is nobody. Since uids are stored as signed values, the following define is included in <pwd.h> to match the user nobody.

UID_NOBODY (-2)

FILES /tcb/files/auth/*/* Protected password database used when system is converted to trusted system. /etc/passwd Standard password file used by HP-UX.

Overview - Starting a New Measurement

This overview shows how the graphical interface is used to configure the logic analysis system for simple measurements.

1. Connect the appropriate probing (see page 144) to your target system.

2. From the System window, (see page 106) click the desired Instrument tool icon, then select Setup. If you are configuring a multi-instrument measurement, click on all desired Instrument tool icons.

When you click on a tool icon and select Setup, two things occur. First, a set of tabbed setup windows for the selected Instrument tool appear. Next, the commonly required Display tools are automatically connected to the Instrument tool in the Workspace window. (see page 14)

3. From the Setup windows that appear, configure the appropriate parameters for the measurement you are performing.

For example, a logic analyzer will require specific pod, clock, and channel assignments. Also, a trigger specification is required if you want the measurement to start at a specific point in the execution of the target system. See "Setting up Instrument Tools" below.

4. Click the Instrument tool icon and select the desired Display tool. (see page 107) The Display tool will show the captured data set. In addition to viewing captured data, use Display tools to place markers in the data, or to connect a multi-instrument configuration.

5. From any open window, click Run All.

Setting up Instrument Tools

Depending on the Instrument tool used and the type of measurement being made, the setup varies. For more specific information on configuring Instrument tools, refer to the following list of tools (see page 73).

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

Config and Data/Config Only Option

Configuration and Data

This option saves the instrument setup configuration and the data stored in acquisition memory. This file option generates the largest file size.

Configuration Only

This option saves just the instrument setup configuration. When reloaded, you must run the measurement again to acquire data. This option generates a smaller file size thus a faster file operation time.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The User Environment and Session Control

This overview describes the user environment of the logic analysis system. Specifically, it defines the difference between how the typical user interacts with the product compared to the system administrator. You also get a description of the two working use models: an "open-networked" system, and a "Secure Mode" environment where user accounts and passwords are assigned.

For the most part, the differences encountered while working in either use model occur during initial product configuration, or when you first start a measurement session. In addition, if the secured environment of Secure Mode is not enabled, there is no distinction between typical users and a System Administrator.

For more information on using the security of user accounts and its effects on the user environment, refer to Setting Up User Accounts (see page 51).

Ordinary Users vs System Administrator

If Secure Mode is enabled, the typical user can only perform the following system-level tasks:

• Change your own password.

• NFS-mount file systems to the instrument.

• Telnet and FTP to other networked systems.

If Secure Mode is enabled, only the System Administrator can perform the following system-level tasks:

• Configure the network.

• Enable the use of User Accounts.

• Add and remove individual User Accounts.

• Set the system-wide default file permissions (see page 88). Defaults at initial power-up are –rw–r––r–– for files and –rwxr–xr–x for directories.

• Set user permissions for new file creation.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The User Environment and Session Control

• Set the system time.

• Set NFS export permissions from the instrument.

Identifying your System Administrator

Your System Administrator is the first person who accesses the User Accounts dialog and assigns himself system administration privileges.

From that point forward, the User Accounts... pick is unavailable for all users except the identified System Administrators. At the time a user logs in, the system software checks for system administration privileges and sets the appropriate access mask on the User Accounts... dialog as well as other restricted areas of the system.

For more information on System Administrator Privileges, refer to System Administration Privileges (see page 18).

Use Models - Open-Networked Compared to User Accounts

When you power up the instrument for the first time, you are in an open-networked unsecured mode. Any user can access the instrument and stored data with no record of access. By definition, you are in the open-networked mode when Secure Mode is not enabled.

The User Accounts mode is often used where large project teams share lab equipment. In this environment, one or more users are set up with a user account and given a login and password. User accounts add the security of restricted use, plus the ability to trace all network activity and file ownership. By definition, you are in User Accounts mode when your System Administrator enables the Secure Mode.

Switching between Open Network and User Accounts

Your System Administrator can switch between the open networked mode and the secured User Accounts mode at any time.

1. From the System Administration Tools window, click User Accounts....

2. Toggle the Secure Mode field to either Enabled or Disabled.

3. Click OK.

4. At this point, you will be asked to verify the reboot of the logic analysis system. A reboot is necessary to implement the system level change of the

The User Environment and Session Control

secured user accounts mode.

About File Permissions

The System Default File Permissions specify a default value for accounts created either during the import process or during Add.

File permissions specify read/write access at three different levels. This maps directly to the UNIX(tm) definitions of user, group, and world access: the first two characters define permissions of the user, the second two are for groups, and the last two are for anyone, regardless of user or group identity.

rw––––

The most restrictive permissions. No one other than the creator of the file is allowed to read or write it.

rwr–––

Users who belong to the same group (the GID field in the account dialog) will be able to read the user's files, but cannot write to them.

rwrw––

The group can both read and write this user's files.

rwr–r–

All users can read these files, but only the creator can write to them.

rwrwr–

All users can read these files, and the group can both read and write to them.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The User Environment and Session Control

rwrwrw

All users can read and write all files owned by this user.

Starting a Session

The Session Manager dialog is used to start a new exclusive session, start a shared session, or, if another user has already started a shared session, you can select to join the current shared session.

Session Startup

Exclusive session - Use this selection to start a session on the logic analysis system local display (Console), or, if you have telneted to the logic analysis system from a remote computer (RemoteX). With this type of session, you are the only user allowed access to the session.

Shared session - Use this selection to start a shared session on the logic analysis system. With this type of session, you are allowing other users to connect and share the front panel.

If the Shared session selection has changed to Join the current shared session, this indicates that a remote user has already started a shared session. Select Join the current shared session to join the session and display the analyzer on the local display.

Start Session

Select Start Session to display the logic analysis system main window from the session startup mode chosen in Session Startup described above.

Shutdown

Select Shutdown to terminate the current session.

Powerdown - This is a complete shutdown, and is used prior to turning

the power off.

Restart - This is a reboot to a new session.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

The User Environment and Session Control

Close (Remote sessions only)

If you have a remote session running, a Close button is available. This terminates your remote session leaving the logic analysis system available for a new session.

CAUTION: Data and configurations ARE NOT restored after an Exit, a Shutdown, or

remote session Close. Make sure to save your configuration.

What is a Specification

A Specification is a numeric value, or range of values, that bounds the performance of a product parameter. The product warranty covers the performance of parameters described by specifications. Products shipped from the factory meet all specifications. Additionally, the products sent to HP Customer Service Centers for calibration and returned to the customer meet all specifications.

Specifications are verified by Calibration Procedures.

What is a Characteristic

Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product, but that is not covered by the product warranty. Characteristics describe performance that is typical of the majority of a given product, but not subject to the same rigor associated with specifications.

Characteristics are verified by Function Tests.

Chapter 1: HP 16600A/16700A Series Logic Analysis System

System Overview

What is a Calibration Procedure

Calibration procedures verify products or systems operate within the specifications. Parameters covered by specifications have a corresponding calibration procedure. Calibration procedures include both performance tests and system verification procedure. Calibration procedures are traceable and must specify adequate calibration standards.

Calibration procedures verify products meet the specifications by comparing measured parameters against a pass-fail limit. The pass-fail limit is the specification less any required guardband.

The term "calibration" refers to the process of measuring parameters and referencing the measurement to a calibration standard rather than the process of adjusting products for optimal performance.

What is a Function Test

Function tests are quick tests designed to verify basic operation of a product. Function tests include operator’s checks and operation verification procedures. An operator’s check is normally a fast test used to verify basic operation of a product. An operation verification procedure verifies some, but not all, specifications, and often at a lower confidence level than a calibration procedure.

How the Help System is Organized

The HP 16600A/16700A logic analysis system is modular. HP offers a choice of hardware and software tools you may install. As you add new tools, you also add the tool’s help volume into the system.

When Help is accessed from the windows below the main icon bar, you get the system help volume. If you access Help from any analyzer, oscilloscope, pattern generator, or display/analysis tool window, you get help for that specific tool.
