LANtastic Network Operating System Version 5 Compatibility Bulletin
Product Reviewed: Levinson Lyon Business Accounting Systems
v2.12.1
Classification: Accounting Software
Date: 03/15/1993
Engineer: JHC
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Compatibility Statement
Levinson Lyon Business Accounting System v2.12.1 has been tested as
compatible with LANtastic versions 4.xx and 5.xx.
Product Overview
The Levinson Lyon family of computerized accounting modules have
been designed for general business accounting and emphasize ease of
use and multi-user access. Modules include Accounts Receivable,
Billing, Inventory Control, Accounts Payable and General Ledger.
Installation
The machine on which the system will be installed must be
configured as a LANtastic server. Installation is accomplished from
floppy disks. Insert software disk #1 in the floppy drive and from
the floppy prompt type:
INSTALL
Respond to the prompts and insert the remaining diskettes as they
are requested. The installation procedure will not ask for network
type. Verify your CONFIG.SYS file meets the "Files=" and "Buffers="
requirements as outlined in Guide to Operations Chapter 2.
Configuration
After successful installation, configure the server by:
Begin the application by typing LYON at the DOS prompt
Choose "Utilities" from the left menu, then "Computer Definition"
from the right menu. Enter the requested information paying
particular attention to the Network Device Map. Each drive used by
the application is mapped to a DOS local or network drive. This
alleviates the requirement that a series of DOS drives must be
uniformly reserved by all network workstations that will use the
application. Note that the LYON "Machine Name" is the LANtatstic
redirector machine name.
At the Main Menu, choose "Printer Configurations" (right menu) to
configure your printers
Access to Levinson Lyon from a LANtastic workstation To use the
accounting package from a LANtastic workstation, perform the
following steps:
Net Login \\<LYON Server> <Username> <Password>
Net Use L: \\<LYON Server>\C-DRIVE\
L:
Cd LYON
LYON
Each workstation must also be configured as outlined above
Security
Security may become an issue when sharing data among multiple users
on a network. Password protection can be implemented following the
instructions in Chapter 2 in "Guide to Operations".
Multi-User Access
For multi-user use be sure to load the DOS SHARE program on the
Levinson Lyon server before starting the LANtastic network.
Levinson Lyon use a combination of file and record locking to allow
multiple simultaneous access and updates of data files. If two
users are simultaneously modifying the same data record, one of the
users will receive the non-fatal error message "Record no longer
the same - Changes not processed".
Report Printing
Before starting the accounting package, issue the NET USE command
through the operating system to establish a printer connection. For
example:
Net Use LPT1 \\<Printer Server>\@PRINTER
Network Disconnects
If a network disconnect occurs but the connection is reestablished
before Net BIOS time-out, the application recovers completely.
After time-out, however, the application will fail with the error
message "Device I/O error in CTEMP"
