- INSTRUCTIONS:
-
- 1) If you are getting these files from a bulletin board
- service:
- a) format a disk,
- b) label it LAN_DRV_020 using the DOS label function
- c) copy all the files onto this disk (LAN_DRV_020).
-
- 2) Regenerate a new OS with NETGEN, choosing the option,
- "Load and Select Item" from the "LAN Driver Options"
- menu. When prompted, insert this disk (LAN_DRV_020).
-
- 3) Copy ARCONFIG.EXE and ARCONFIG.HLP from this disk
- (LAN_DRV_020) to the BRUTILS disk.
-
- 4) Follow the instructions below to configure your system.

- CONFIGURING THE FILE SERVER SOFTWARE
-
-
- PREPARING TO RUN ARCONFIG FROM A LOCAL DRIVE
-
- To run the ARCONFIG utility on a standalone computer (not connected as a
- network workstation), you will need the OSEXE-1 and OSEXE-2 diskettes that
- contains your NET$OS.EX1 and NET$OS.EX2 operating system files. You will also
- need the BRUTILS diskette containing the ARCONFIG utility files.
-
- Because the NET$OS.EX1 file is very large, you will not be able to copy the
- necessary ARCONFIG utility files onto the OSEXE-1 diskette. Instead, you will
- have to run the ARCONFIG utility using the separate diskettes.
-
-
- PREPARING TO RUN ARCONFIG FROM A NETWORK DRIVE
-
- To run the ARCONFIG utility from a network drive (on a network that is
- running), you must copy the ARCONFIG.EXE and ARCONFIG.HLP files from the
- BRUTILS diskette to a directory on the network.
-
- For example, if you plan to run ARCONFIG from network drive F, insert the
- BRUTILS diskette into drive A and type
-
- COPY A:ARCONFIG.* F: <Enter>
-
- The asterisk serves as a "wildcard" character to copy both the ARCONFIG.EXE
- and ARCONFIG.HLP files. (It is not necessary to copy any other "support" files
- from the BRUTILS diskette since these files should be in the SYS:PUBLIC network
- search directory.)
-
-
- STARTING ARCONFIG (FILE SERVER SOFTWARE)
-
- To start the ARCONFIG utility so you can configure your file server software,
- complete the following steps.
-
- 1) Insert the program and file diskette(s) as follows:
-
- o If you are running ARCONFIG in standalone mode, insert the BRUTILS
- diskette into drive A. If your computer has a second disk
- drive (drive B), insert the OSEXE-1 diskette. (If your computer has
- only one disk drive, you must swap diskettes as prompted.)
-
- o If you are running ARCONFIG from a network drive, insert the OSEXE-1
- diskette into drive A.
-
- 2) Switch to the drive that contains the ARCONFIG utility files. In
- standalone mode, this is drive A. For a network drive, specify the
- appropriate drive letter.
-
- 3) Type the command to start the ARCONFIG utility, which depends on the
- format of your OSEXE-1 diskette.
-
- o If you are using a 5.25-inch OSEXE-1 diskette, type
-
- ARCONFIG OSEXE-1:NET$OS.EX1 BRUTILS S <Enter>
-
- In the command, the "OSEXE-1:NET$OS.EX1" parameter specifies that you
- will be configuring the NET$OS.EX1 file on the OSEXE-1 volume
- (diskette). The BRUTILS parameter specifies that the help files will be
- located on the BRUTILS volume (diskette). The "S" option allows
- ARCONFIG to configure the "split" operating system.
-
- o If you are using a 3.5-inch OSEXE-1 diskette, type
-
- ARCONFIG OSEXE-1:NET$OS.EX1 BRUTILS <Enter>
-
- In the command, the "OSEXE-1:NET$OS.EX1" parameter specifies that you
- will be configuring the NET$OS.EX1 file on the OSEXE-1 volume
- (diskette). The BRUTILS parameter specifies that the help files will be
- located on the BRUTILS volume (diskette).
-
-
-
- ==============================================================================
- CONFIGURING THE IPX MODULE
-
-
- PREPARING TO RUN ARCONFIG FROM A LOCAL DRIVE
-
- To run the ARCONFIG utility on a standalone computer (not connected as a
- network workstation), you will need the SHGEN-1 (3.5" set) or SHGEN-2 (5.25" set)
- diskette that contains your linked IPX.COM file. You will also need the BRUTILS
- diskette containing the ARCONFIG utility files.
-
-
- PREPARING TO RUN ARCONFIG FROM A NETWORK DRIVE
-
- To run the ARCONFIG utility from a network drive (on a network that is
- running), you must copy the ARCONFIG.EXE and ARCONFIG.HLP files from the
- BRUTILS diskette to a directory on the network.
-
- For example, if you plan to run ARCONFIG from network drive F, insert the
- BRUTILS diskette into drive A and type
-
- COPY A:ARCONFIG.* F: <Enter>
-
- The asterisk serves as a "wildcard" character to copy both the ARCONFIG.EXE
- and ARCONFIG.HLP files. (It is not necessary to copy any other "support" files
- from the BRUTILS diskette since these files should be in the SYS:PUBLIC network
- search directory.)
-
-
- STARTING ARCONFIG (IPX MODULE SOFTWARE)
-
- To start the ARCONFIG utility so you can configure your file server software,
- complete the following steps.
-
- 1) Insert the program and file diskette(s) as follows:
-
- o If you are running ARCONFIG in standalone mode, insert the BRUTILS
- diskette into drive A. If your computer has a second disk
- drive (drive B), insert the SHGEN-? diskette. (If your computer has
- only one disk drive, you must swap diskettes as prompted.)
-
- o If you are running ARCONFIG from a network drive, insert the SHGEN-?
- diskette into drive A.
-
- 2) Switch to the drive that contains the ARCONFIG utility files. In
- standalone mode, this is drive A. For a network drive, specify the
- appropriate drive letter.
-
- 3) Type the command to start the ARCONFIG utility,
-
- o If you are using a 5.25-inch SHGEN-2 diskette, type
-
- ARCONFIG SHGEN-2:IPX.COM BRUTILS <Enter>
-
- In the command, the "SHGEN-1:IPX.COM" parameter specifies that you
- will be configuring the IPX.COM file on the SHGEN-1 volume (diskette).
- The BRUTILS parameter specifies that the help files will be
- located on the BRUTILS volume (diskette).
-
- o If you are using a 3.5-inch SHGEN-1 diskette, type
-
- ARCONFIG SHGEN-1:IPX.COM BRUTILS <Enter>
-
- In the command, the "SHGEN-1:IPX.COM" parameter specifies that you
- will be configuring the IPX.COM file on the SHGEN-1 volume (diskette).
- The BRUTILS parameter specifies that the help files will be
- located on the BRUTILS volume (diskette).
