|
Ph: +61 52 471351.
|
NB Access can also be obtained by direct dial-in or by using X.25, details of
|
which are available separately.
|
To gain access
|
0 Terminal setup: no specific terminal settings required. Terminals already
|
connected to AARNet should not be altered.
|
1. telnet to: library.deakin.oz.au.
|
You may need to have already established a session on a computer at your
|
institution, which is connected to AARNet. Alternatively, you may be able to
|
establish a connection directly from your terminal server. Consult your local
|
Computing Centre for further advice.
|
2. If the connection is successful, you will receive something similar to:-
|
SunOS UNIX (sol.deakin.OZ.AU.)
|
login:
|
3. Type: alice Press: [RETURN]
|
4. The system will then indicate when ALICE was last used, display any
|
"messages of the day", and then try to determine the type of terminal being
|
used. If it cannot be determined automatically, the system will prompt you for
|
the device type.
|
TERM = (unknown)
|
Type: <the code corresponding to your terminal type>. Some terminal types are:-
|
tatung Tatung VT-4100 vt100 DEC VT-100 vt52 VT-52 v3 TV1-910,920 6310 hazeltine
|
6310 (other codes on request from the Assistant Systems Librarian -
|
craige@deakin.oz.au)
|
Press: [RETURN]
|
(If you don't know the terminal type, simply press [RETURN] and the system will
|
attempt to provide a reasonable format).
|
5. The system will try to establish a connection to the Library's computer.
|
If the connection fails the system will respond with "Remote is busy".
|
The system will then break the connection with your terminal, and you will need
|
to restart from Step 1 to establish a new connection.
|
If the connection is established, the system will respond with:-
|
a) clearing the screen
|
b) give instructions for starting and finishing an ALICE session i.e.
|
Type "Q" to start, <CR>~.<CR> to end.
|
You can now start ALICE, and any subsequent commands will need to be ALICE
|
commands. Usually, the appropriate ALICE commands are displayed at the bottom
|
of the screen, but a user should consult the above- mentioned Guide before any
|
serious use of the system.
|
To leave ALICE
|
1. At any stage of a search within ALICE, you may leave it.
|
Press: [RETURN]
|
Type: ~. (i.e. tilde, dot) Press: [RETURN]
|
2. The system will immediately break the connection to the Library's computer,
|
and then break the connection between your terminal and the system.
