Installing the LAN Distance Remote Product ═══ This chapter describes preinstallation tasks, lists installation steps, and explains how to reinstall, upgrade, and remove the LAN Distance Remote product. ═══ 7.1. Hardware and Software Requirements ═══ Before you install the LAN Distance Remote product, install prerequisite software and the WAN hardware you want to configure for the LAN Distance Remote product: o IBM OS/2 2.0 or later, or Microsoft Windows version 3.1 running on DOS version 5.0 or later o The LAN Distance Remote product requires 5.0 Mb fixed-disk storage. Additional space is required for the LAN Distance Remote product to install First Failure Support Technology/2* (700 Kb) and required LAN transports (2.2 Mb) if these products are not already installed. To run the LAN Distance product, OS/2, and one LAN application you need about 12.0 Mb fixed-disk storage. The requirements for your workstation may vary depending on your LAN applications, data requirements, processor speed, and response time requirements. o The LAN Distance Remote for MS Windows product requires 2.3 Mb fixed-disk storage. o A modem and/or adapter for asynchronous, synchronous, or ISDN communications. See Hardware Supported for the LAN Distance Remote Product for a list of supported modems and adapters. WAN adapters used by the LAN Distance Remote product cannot be used by other applications simultaneously. o Access to a switched or nonswitched (leased) telephone line to establish an asynchronous, synchronous or ISDN connection. o If you are using an adapter for asynchronous or ISDN communications, install and configure the adapter with the adapter software using the manufacturer's instructions. o If you have IBM's Communication Manager installed on your workstation and you plan to set up an ISDN connection, set up Communications Manager so it is not configured for ISDN. o To run your COM ports at a speed greater than 9600 bps, your workstation should have FIFO buffering. However, some non-FIFO workstations with a faster processor (25 MHz and above) and modem (14400 bps or better) can support higher transmission speeds. To verify that your workstation has FIFO buffering type: MODE COM1 at an OS/2 command prompt. If the response is BUFFER = N/A, then your workstation does not have FIFO buffering. See "Avoiding Message WCL0233 When Restarting Your Workstation" and "Performance Tuning for Non-FIFO Workstations" in the LAN Distance Advanced Guide for information about using a non-FIFO workstation. o If you install the LAN Distance product on a workstation with the IBM Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Multi-Protocol Transport Services - AnyNet for OS/2 (MPTS) product, install the MPTS corrective service diskette (CSD) before you start the LAN Distance product. ═══ 7.2. Configuring Your Wide Area Network Hardware ═══ Two options exist for configuring your WAN hardware to work with the LAN Distance Remote product: Basic Settings and the LAN Distance Settings notebook. To select a setup option for the LAN Distance Remote product, answer the following questions about your WAN hardware: o Type of connection: asynchronous, synchronous, or ISDN? o Number of ports: one or two? o Type of telephone line: switched or nonswitched (leased)? ═══ 7.2.1. The Basic Settings Option ═══ Most LAN Distance Remotes will use this option to complete configuration. You can select the Basic Settings option only during LAN Distance Remote installation. The Basic Settings path supports the following hardware setups: o One asynchronous COM port or one ISDN adapter o One asynchronous modem o Switched telephone lines o One phone book entry for dialing out Note: Select Basic Settings even if you will configure additional connections or multiple phone book entries. Make your initial selections through Basic Settings, then modify your setup in the the LAN Distance Settings notebook. ═══ 7.2.2. The Settings Notebook Option ═══ The LAN Distance Settings notebook can be used to modify your Basic Settings setup at any time. You must use the LAN Distance Settings notebook to configure the following types of WAN hardware: o Synchronous modems and adapters o ARTIC adapters for multiport connections o Nonswitched (leased) connections.

Setting Up LAN Distance to Run LAN Applications ═══ This chapter explains how to configure additional LAN protocols, describes options for starting your LAN applications, tells you how to change your LAN Distance logical adapter network address, and provides guidelines for adjusting NetBIOS timers. Note: No additional protocols need to be configured if your LAN applications use NetBIOS. NetBIOS is installed and configured when you install the LAN Distance Remote product. ═══ 11.1. Understanding the Protocol Support Provided by the LAN Distance Product ═══ LAN applications use many different protocols including NetBIOS in the OS/2 LAN Server environment, IPX/SPX in the NetWare environment, and NetBIOS for Microsoft's LAN Manager**. Applications using NDIS-compliant protocols can operate unmodified over a LAN Distance connection. The Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) provides a network driver architecture that allows your workstation to run LAN applications and protocols independent of the type of LAN hardware you have. The LAN Distance Remote product provides support for several NDIS-compliant protocols through the LAPS interface. LAN Distance Supported LAN Protocols and LAN Applications lists the protocols currently supported through LAPS and lists some common applications that use these protocols. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ LAN Distance Supported LAN Protocols and LAN Applications │ ├───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ SUPPORTED PROTO- │ EXAMPLES OF LAN APPLICATIONS │ │ COLS │ │ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┤ │ IBM NETBIOS │ OS/2 LAN Server │ Microsoft LAN Manager (NetB│UI) │ │ OS/2 LAN Requester │ DATABASE/2 for OS/2* │ │ │ Person to Person/2* │ Lotus Notes** │ │ │ LAN Peer Services │ Time and Place/2* │ │ │ cc:Mail** │ DOS LAN Requester │ │ │ LANtastic** │ System Performance Monitor/│ │ │ OS/2 Extended │ │ │ │ Services* (Database Manager)│ │ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┤ │ IBM IEEE 802.2 │ OS/2 Extended Services │ IBM System Network Architec│ure │ │ (Communication Manager) │ for OS/2 │ │ │ Communications Manager/2 │ Personal Communications/327│ │ │ AS/400* PC Support │ Personal Communications/525│ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┤ │ IBM TCP/IP │ TCP/IP for OS/2 │ LAN NetView* for OS/2 │ │ │ TCP/IP for DOS │ │ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ ├───────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┤ │ IBM NETWARE │ Novell NetWare Server │ Novell NetWare Requester │ │ REQUESTER SUPPORT │ │ │ └───────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘ ═══ 11.2. Configuring Additional LAN Protocols Required for Your LAN Applications ═══ NetBIOS is installed and configured when the LAN Distance product is installed. IEEE 802.2 is also installed, but not configured. If any additional NDIS-compliant LAN protocols are required to run your LAN applications, separately install these protocols. Follow these steps to configure the additional protocols you need through LAPS: 1. Open the Settings notebook and select the LAPS tab, then select the LAPS push button to open the LAPS Configure Workstation window. LAPS Configure Workstation Window 2.

From the LAPS tab, double-click on the system menu symbol in the upper left corner to close the Settings notebook and save protocol changes. 8. Shut down and restart your workstation. ═══ 11.3. Starting LAN Applications from Your LAN Distance Remote Workstation ═══ After you dial out using the LAN Distance phone book, establish a connection, and log on to a secure LAN Distance workstation, you are ready to start a LAN application. You can use any of the following techniques to start your LAN applications: ═══ 11.3.1. Using Startup Commands to Start Your LAN Applications ═══ Issue startup commands for your application at a command line. For example, if you are running LAN Requester on your LAN Distance Remote and you want to access a LAN Server, log on to the LAN Server, and issue the appropriate NET commands at an OS/2 command prompt. ═══ 11.3.2. Setting Up Phone Book Entries or Answer Modes to Autostart Your LAN Applications ═══ Set up a phone book entry to start a LAN application after you dial out, or set up an answer mode to start an application when your LAN Distance Remote answers a call. See Automatically Starting a LAN Application When You Dial and Automatically Starting an Answer Mode When LAN Distance Is Started. You can set up your LAN Distance Remote to automatically start a command file in the same way you automatically start a LAN application. ═══ 11.3.3. Creating an OS/2 Command File to Autostart Your LAN Applications ═══ Create a command file to start a LAN application using LAN Distance commands and your application's startup commands. See LAN Distance commands and example command files in Using LAN Distance Commands for OS/2 Workstations. ═══ 11.4. Changing Your LAN Distance Logical Adapter Network Address ═══ Complete these steps to change or verify your LAN Distance logical adapter network address: 1. Open the Settings notebook and select the Address tab. From page 1 of 2, you can change or verify your LAN Distance logical adapter network address. Page 1 of 2 of the Address Notebook Note: Most LAN Distance Remotes use only one or two protocols and require only one LAN Distance logical adapter network address. If you require more than five LAN protocols to run your LAN applications, configure an additional LAN Distance logical adapter network address on page 2 of 2. 2. Type a 12-character hexadecimal address in the LAN Distance logical adapter network address field to change this address. 3. Close the Settings notebook to save your changes. ═══ 11.5. Adjusting NetBIOS Timers on the LAN Distance Remote ═══ WAN connections do not support data transmission speeds as fast as those supported over LAN connections. To accommodate slower speeds on the WAN connection, the NetBIOS LAN timers are automatically increased when the LAN Distance product is installed. The LAN Distance default settings for these timers are set to accommodate line speeds as slow as 9600 bps, and to minimize connection problems and unnecessary retransmission of data frames on the LAN Distance connection. If you experience connection problems, you may need to increase NetBIOS timers. Open the Settings notebook and select the Timers tab. Use the information in Guidelines for Changing NetBIOS Timers as a guide for changing NetBIOS timers. rule=horiz frame=box split=yes. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Guidelines for Changing NetBIOS Timers │ ├───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ NETBIOS TIMERS │ DESCRIPTION OF NETBIOS TIMERS │ ├───────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ INACTIVITY TIMER │ THE VALUE FOR THIS TIMER DETERMINES HOW OFTEN NETBIOS │ │ - TI │ CHECKS AN INACTIVE LINK TO VERIFY THAT THE LINK IS STILL │ │ │ OPERATIONAL │ │ │ │ │ │ The NetBIOS default value for this timer is 30,000 │ │ │ milliseconds.

To save changes made to the phone book entry, close the Settings notebook. ═══ 12.3. Customizing a Phone Book Entry for Calling Card Use ═══ Warning: Every time you dial out from your LAN Distance Remote workstation using a calling card, calling card information for that phone book entry is recorded in a LAN Distance file, and can be viewed by anyone who has access to your machine. You have the option of including calling card information when you define a telephone number for a LAN Distance Remote or LAN Distance Connection Server. This allows you to charge the cost for a long distance connection to your calling card. You can temporarily customize telephone numbers from the Phone Book, or you can add or change telephone numbers through the Settings notebook by making the appropriate selections from the Phone Book tab. See Creating a Phone Book Entry. ═══ 12.3.1. Example: Adding Calling Card Information to a Telephone Number ═══ Adding Calling Card Information to a Phone Book Entry shows a telephone number that is set up to use a calling card number. In this example, the telephone number (4445551234) is preceded by a number that identifies the long distance carrier (102880) and a 0. After the telephone number is dialed, the modem pauses (,,) to wait for a gong tone before dialing the calling card number. The comma (,) dial modifier is used to instruct the modem to pause for 2 seconds. Use several commas for a longer delay. The comma is a dial modifier that is common to most modems. Any dial modifier defined for your modem can be entered in the Telephone number to be dialed field. For more information about dial modifiers, see your modem manual. Adding Calling Card Information to a Phone Book Entry ═══ 12.3.2. Maximum Number of Characters for a Telephone Number ═══ A LAN Distance telephone number field can contain a maximum of 50 characters. Your modem buffer may hold more or less than the maximum number of 50 characters. Many modems have a buffer size of 40. Every dial prefix and suffix character transmitted with the telephone number reduces the buffer space for your modem by 5 characters. If the information for your calling card and telephone number exceeds the maximum number of 50 characters, you can customize the dialing string in the PIF file for your modem type. For more information, see "Customizing the Dial String for Asynchronous Modems," in LAN Distance Advanced Guide. ═══ 13.

Using the Shuttle Feature for OS/2 ═══ This chapter explains how to enable and then invoke the LAN Distance Shuttle feature, and provides guidelines for installing LAN applications after you have installed the LAN Distance Remote product. ═══ 16.1. Setting Up Your Workstation to Shuttle ═══ The Shuttle feature allows you to use your workstation and its applications in the LAN-attached and the LAN Distance Remote environments. Shuttling automatically switches your workstation's configuration from one environment to the other. If you plan to use Shuttle to switch between the LAN-attached and remote environments, you should have a working LAN-attached configuration set up before you invoke Shuttle. If you invoke the Shuttle feature before your LAN-attached configuration is setup, the LAN Distance Remote product supplies a default IBM Token-Ring configuration so you can shuttle. Use the LAPS interface to change this default configuration. ═══ 16.2. Enabling Shuttle on Your LAN Distance Remote Workstation ═══ Before you can invoke the Shuttle feature, it must be enabled on your workstation. ═══ 16.2.1. Installing the LAN Distance Product on a LAN-attached Workstation ═══ If you install the LAN Distance Remote product on a workstation that is configured as a LAN-attached workstation, the LAN Distance Shuttle feature is already enabled. ═══ 16.2.2. Installing the LAN Distance Product on a non LAN-attached Workstation ═══ If you install the LAN Distance Remote product on a workstation that does not have a LAN-attached configuration, the Shuttle feature is not enabled. Before you can invoke the Shuttle feature and switch the environment configured for your workstation, enable this feature. After you install the LAN Distance Remote product and restart your workstation, complete these steps to enable the Shuttle feature: 1. Open the Settings notebook and select the Workstation tab, shown in Workstation Tab. Workstation Tab 2. From the Workstation tab, select the Shuttle between LAN-attached workstation and remote workstation field. 3. Close the Settings notebook to save changes. 4. When the Shuttle feature is enabled, each time you close the LAN Distance Workstations window the Shuttle Option window shown in Shuttle Option Window is displayed. Select the configuration that you want to use after you restart your workstation. Shuttle Option Window ═══ 16.3. Invoking Shuttle on Your LAN Distance Remote Workstation ═══ After you enable the Shuttle feature on your workstation, invoke the Shuttle feature using one of the following options. ═══ 16.3.1. Using the Shuttle Option Window to Shuttle ═══ If the Shuttle feature is enabled on your LAN Distance Remote, the Shuttle Option window, shown in Shuttle Option Window, is displayed each time you close the LAN Distance Workstations window. The default setting for the Shuttle Option window is your current workstation configuration. If you do not want to shuttle, select the Cancel push button.

A pop-up message is displayed after the LAN Distance product switches your remote and LAN configurations. LDSHUTTL LAN Entering this command allows you to shuttle from a LAN Distance Remote to a LAN-attached workstation. After the LAN Distance product switches your remote and LAN configurations, a system response is displayed. LDSHUTTL REMOTE Entering this command allows you to shuttle from a LAN-attached workstation to a LAN Distance Remote. After the LAN Distance product switches your LAN and remote configurations, a system response is displayed. ═══ 16.3.3. Opening the LAN Distance Workstations Window from a LAN-Attached Workstation ═══ LAN-attached workstations can invoke the Shuttle Option window simply by double-clicking on the LAN Distance icon. ═══ 16.4. Considerations for Changing Your LAN Configuration ═══ If you install a LAN application after you install the LAN Distance Remote product, only your active configuration and its PROTOCOL.INI file are updated. To use the application in both the remote and LAN-attached environments, you need to update the PROTOCOL.INI for the configuration that was inactive when you installed and configured this application. To update the PROTOCOL.INI file for the inactive configuration, follow these steps: 1. Invoke the Shuttle feature and switch to the inactive configuration. Do not shut down your workstation to activate this configuration until you complete step 10. Switching to the inactive configuration allows you to update the PROTOCOL.INI for this file. 2. From an OS/2 command line, go to the \IBMCOM directory and type LAPS to start LAPS. 3. From the LAPS IBM Logo window, shown in LAPS IBM Logo Window, select the Configure push button.

Select Add to add the protocol you selected to the protocols currently configured for the network adapter that is currently inactive. 8. Select OK to exit the Configure Workstation window. 9. From the CONFIG.SYS Updates window, shown in CONFIG.SYS Updates Window, select the Continue push button. CONFIG.SYS Updates Window 10. From the LAPS IBM logo window, select Exit. ═══ 16.5. Shuttling with PCMCIA Adapters ═══ If your workstation contains either a PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter or a PCMCIA asynchronous modem adapter, you must complete the appropriate steps below after installing the LAN Distance Remote product. You cannot properly shuttle to the LAN Distance Remote environment until these changes are made: For a PCMCIA Token-Ring Adapter 1. Use an ASCII text editor to edit the \IBMCOM\MACS\IBMTOKCS.NIF file. a. Find the [FILE] section. b. To the Name = line, add all required device driver names in order. For example, the IBM ThinkPad requires this order: DEVICE=x:\$ICPMOS2.SYS DEVICE=x:\IBMTOKCS.OS2 DEVICE=x:\IBM2SS02.SYS DEVICE=x:\ICRMU02.SYS The Name = line changes to: Name = $ICPMOS2.SYS, IBMTOKCS.OS2, IBM2SS02.SYS, ICRMU02.SYS 2. Copy all the device drivers listed in the "Name =" line to the \IBMCOM\MACS subdirectory, if they are not already there. For a PCMCIA asynchronous modem adapter 1. Use an ASCII text editor to edit the \IBMCOM\MACS\PDFH.NIF file. a. Find the [FILE] section. b. To the Name = line, add all the required device driver names in order. For example, the IBM ThinkPad requires this order: DEVICE=x:\$ICPMOS2.SYS DEVICE=x:\PDFH.OS2 DEVICE=x:\IBM2SS02.SYS DEVICE=x:\ICRMU02.SYS The Name = line changes to: Name = $ICPMOS2.SYS, PDFH.OS2, IBM2SS02.SYS, ICRMU02.SYS 2. Copy all the device drivers listed in the Name = line to the \IBMCOM\MACS subdirectory if they are not already there. The required device drivers are described in the PCMCIA Adapter documentation and are included on the adapter's accompanying diskette. The device driver names are specific to each brand of adapter. The LAN Distance Remote product ships, installs, and requires the \IBMCOM\MACS\PDFH.NIF file and its associated device driver, PDFH.OS2. Note: Use this editing technique for any adapters that use multiple device drivers that require a specific order in the CONFIG.SYS file. ═══ 16.6. Fixing DEVICE= Statement Parameter Loss during Shuttle ═══ If shuttling loses parameters on any DEVICE= statements in the CONFIG.SYS file, follow these steps to correct the problem: 1. Use an ASCII text editor to edit the \WAL\WCLLOCAL.INI file. 2. Find the [SHUTTLE] section: [SHUTTLE] D1 = ESTDFM.OS2 P1 = S1C2 D2 = IBM2SS01.SYS P2 = /S0=1 Note: This section exists only if your workstation contains one of the IBM PCMCIA adapters. If you cannot find this section, add [SHUTTLE] on a new line and start with D1 = and P1 = for the device name and parameter lines. 3. For each DEVICE= statement, add a Dx = line for the device name and a Px = line for the device parameter(s). In both lines, x is the next sequential number. For example, if you have the following DEVICE= statements in your CONFIG.SYS file: DEVICE=x:\dev_name1.sys /parm1 /parm2 DEVICE=x:\dev_name2.sys /parm3 To the [SHUTTLE] section, add: D3 = dev_name1.sys P3 = /parm1 /parm2 D4 = dev_name2.sys P4 = /parm3 Warning: Running LAPS configuration may lose parameters on DEVICE= statements. If this happens, shuttle to your inactive configuration, and then shuttle back to your previously active configuration. This will restore the parameters defined in the [SHUTTLE] section. ═══ 17. Using the Shuttle Feature for MS Windows ═══ The Shuttle utility is installed as an icon on the LAN Distance Remote container window. Invoke shuttle by selecting the icon or entering LDSHUTTL.EXE at the Windows Run command line. Parameters are not used for the MS Windows LDSHUTTL.EXE utility. ═══ 17.1. Setting Up Your Workstation to Shuttle ═══ The Shuttle feature allows you to use your workstation and its applications in the LAN-attached and the LAN Distance Remote environments. Shuttling automatically switches your workstation's configuration from one environment to the other. Before you can use Shuttle to switch between the LAN-attached and remote environments, you should have a working LAN-attached configuration set up before you invoke Shuttle. If you invoke the Shuttle feature before your LAN-attached configuration is set up, the LAN Distance Remote product supplies a default IBM Token-Ring configuration so you can shuttle. ═══ 17.2. Enabling Shuttle on Your LAN Distance Remote ═══ The Shuttle feature must be enabled on your workstation before you can shuttle. ═══ 17.2.1. Using the Shuttle Option Window to Shuttle ═══ If the Shuttle feature is enabled on your LAN Distance Remote, the Shuttle Option window, shown in Shuttle Option Window for MS Windows Workstations, is displayed each time you close the LAN Distance Workstations window. The default setting for the Shuttle Option window is your current workstation configuration. If you do not want to shuttle, select the Cancel push button. To switch from your current configuration, select the radio button for the configuration you want to shuttle to when you restart your workstation, then select OK. Exit and restart your workstation to activate your shuttle selection. ═══ 17.2.2. Installing the LAN Distance Product on a non LAN-attached Workstation ═══ If you install the LAN Distance Remote product on a workstation that does not have a LAN-attached configuration, the Shuttle feature is not enabled. Before you can invoke the Shuttle feature and switch the environment configured for your workstation, enable the LAN-attached configuration. After you install the LAN Distance Remote product and restart your workstation, complete these steps to enable the Shuttle feature: To enable or disable the Shuttle feature: 1. Open the Settings notebook for your LAN Distance Remote. 2. Select the Workstation tab shown in Workstation Tab for MS Windows Workstations. Workstation Tab for MS Windows Workstations 3. Select Enable shuttling between LAN and remote workstation. 4. Close the Settings notebook and save the values. The Shuttle feature is now enabled. ═══ 17.3. Invoking Shuttle on Your LAN Distance Remote ═══ After you enable the Shuttle feature on your workstation, invoke the Shuttle feature using one of the following options. ═══ 17.3.1. Using the Shuttle Option Window to Shuttle ═══ If the Shuttle feature is enabled on your LAN Distance Remote, the Shuttle Option window, shown in Shuttle Option Window for MS Windows Workstations, is displayed each time you close the LAN Distance Workstations window. The default setting for the Shuttle Option window is your current workstation configuration. If you do not want to shuttle, select the Cancel push button. To switch from your current configuration, select the radio button for the configuration you want to shuttle to when you restart your workstation, then select OK. Exit and restart your workstation to activate your shuttle selection. ═══ 17.3.2.

Installing Your LAN Applications after the LAN Distance Remote Product ═══ The Shuttle feature offers the same function as the OS/2 version, but behaves significantly different. Because of the difficulties of detecting the LAN-attached support software, the Shuttle utility maintains two copies of the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files: one for LAN Distance Remote and one for the LAN-attached environment. Updates made to either of these files must be reflected in the other set. For this reason, you should install your LAN applications first and the LAN Distance Remote product last. For example, install NetWare, LSP, and any other LAN applications that may alter the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, or PROTOCOL.INI files first. Install the LAN Distance Remote product last. Follow these steps to install a LAN application after you have installed the LAN Distance Remote product: 1. Shuttle your workstation from a LAN Distance Remote to a non-LAN Distance LAN-attached workstation. a. Double-click on the Shuttle icon. The Shuttle Option window is displayed as shown in Shuttle Option Window for MS Windows Workstations. b.

The LAN Distance Remote product renames the remote configuration files with a *.RWS extension. 2. Exit and restart your workstation. 3. Install the LAN application. 4. To use the application in both the remote and LAN-attached environments, change PROTOCOL.INI in the WAL directory, CONFIG.RWS, and AUTOEXEC.RWS for the LAN Distance Remote configuration that was inactive when you installed and configured this application. The installation changes should be identical for the remote and LAN-attached file sets. 5. Shuttle from a non-LAN Distance LAN-attached workstation to a LAN Distance Remote. a. Double-click on the Shuttle icon. The Shuttle Option window is displayed as shown in Shuttle Option Window for MS Windows Workstations. b. To shuttle from a LAN Distance Remote to a non-LAN Distance LAN-attached workstation, select LAN workstation. c. Select the OK push button. 6. Exit and restart your workstation. The LAN Distance Remote product renames the LAN-attached configuration files with a *.LAN extension. You can use the LAN applications on your LAN Distance Remote. ═══ 18. Hardware Supported for the LAN Distance Remote Product ═══ This appendix lists the hardware supported by this release of the LAN Distance product. See the README file for a list of any modems, WAN adapters, and LAN adapters that were added after this book was published. ═══ 18.1. Workstations ═══ For your COM ports to operate at a speed greater than 9600 bps, your workstation should have FIFO buffering. However, some non-FIFO workstations with a faster processor (25 MHz and above) and modem (14400 bps or better) can support higher transmission speeds. To verify that your workstation has FIFO buffering type: MODE COM1 at an OS/2 command prompt. If the response is BUFFER = N/A, then your workstation does not have FIFO buffering. See "Avoiding Message WCL0233 When Restarting Your Workstation" and "Performance Tuning for Non-FIFO Workstations" in the LAN Distance Advanced Guide for information about using a non-FIFO workstation. ═══ 18.2. Modems ═══ Almost all modems sold in your country satisfy the homologation requirements of LAN Distance for use in your country.

Setup Considerations for Some Popular LAN Applications ═══ This section describes how to set up your LAN Distance workstation to support some popular network operating systems and LAN applications. ═══ 19.1. IBM LAN Server and Requester ═══ From your LAN Requester workstation you can use the LAN Distance product to establish a connection to any LAN Server workstation. You can also establish a LAN Distance connection between LAN Server workstations on separate LANs. These configurations are illustrated in LAN Requester and LAN Server Setup. LAN Requester and LAN Server Setup ═══ 19.1.1. Setup Considerations for LAN Requester and LAN Server ═══ Review the following set-up considerations for using the LAN Requester and LAN Server products with the LAN Distance product. o The LAN Distance product supports version 2.0 and higher of the IBM LAN Server and LAN Requester products. o Install the LAN Server and Requester products before you install the LAN Distance product. o Install the LAN Distance Remote product on your stand-alone LAN Requester workstation to establish a connection to a LAN Server workstation. o As shown in LAN Requester and LAN Server Setup, the LAN Distance Connection Server product can be installed on any LAN workstation. It does not need to be installed on your LAN Server to access resources at the LAN Server workstation. o If you are using LAN Server or LAN Requester 3.0, install Corrective Service Diskette (CSD) IP07001 on: - every LAN Requester 3.0 workstation using LAN Distance to establish a connection to a LAN Server - every LAN Server 3.0 workstation that you will access using the LAN Distance product. To obtain CSD IPO7001, contact IBM Software Solutions at 1-800-992-4777 (United States), 1-800-465-2222 (Canada), or 1-800-426-1774 (International). o If you are running version 2.0 or 3.0 of the DOS LAN Requester on your MS Windows LAN Distance Remote, you should install CSD 7003 for the DOS LAN Requester product. If you do not have access to CSD 7003, see Using DOS LAN Requester. o Recommended configuration changes for LAN Server and LAN Requester are described in Modifying LAN Server and Requester Configurations. o If you are running DOS LAN Requester, complete the steps described in Changing DOS LAN Requester Performance Parameters. ═══ 19.1.2. Modifying LAN Server and Requester Configurations ═══ Because of the slower data transfer speeds over the LAN Distance connection, it is common to experience problems with large file transfers, the XCOPY command, session timeout, application connections, and logging on to a LAN Server. To avoid these problems, make the following modifications for: o every LAN Requester workstation using the LAN Distance product. o every LAN Server that has resources you will access using the LAN Distance product. ═══ 19.1.2.1. Modify NetBIOS Timers for LAN Server Workstations ═══ NetBIOS timers are automatically adjusted when the LAN Distance product is installed. If the LAN Distance product is not installed on a LAN Server you need to manually adjust the NetBIOS timers for this LAN Server through LAPS. Values for the NetBIOS timers are discussed in Guidelines for Changing NetBIOS Timers. ═══ 19.1.2.2. Modify the LAN Server SRVHEURISTICS Parameter ═══ 1. Locate the SRVHEURISTICS parameter in the LAN Server IBMLAN.INI file. 2. Change bit 15 (marked by an ) in the SRVHEURISTICS parameter from 1 to any number from 2 to 8. This sets the timeout value to the maximum value of 127 seconds. If this does not improve performance, turn off the timeout value by setting bit 15 to 9. 1 (bit position counter->) 0123456789012345678 SRVHEURISTICS = 1111014111131102133  ═══ 19.1.2.3. Increase the LAN Server SESSTIMEOUT Value ═══ 1. Locate the SESSTIMEOUT parameter, in the LAN Server IBMLAN.INI file. 2. Increase this value from 45 to 300 seconds to help prevent a LAN server session from timing out. ═══ 19.1.2.4. Modify the LAN Requester WRKHEURISTICS Parameter ═══ 1. Locate the WRKHEURISTICS parameter in the LAN Requester IBMLAN.INI file. 2. Change bits 11, 12, and 13 (marked by an ) in the WRKHEURISTICS parameter to 0. 1 2 3 (bit position counter->) 0123456789012345678901234567890123 WRKHEURISTICS = 1111111121300011110001011120111221  ═══ 19.1.2.5. Increase the LAN Requester SESSTIMEOUT Value ═══ 1. Locate the SESSTIMEOUT parameter, in the LAN Server IBMLAN.INI file. 2. Increase this value from 45 to 300 seconds to help prevent a LAN server session from timing out. ═══ 19.1.3. Using DOS LAN Requester ═══ DOS LAN Requester. If you are using DOS LAN Requester 3.0, install Corrective Service Diskette (CSD) IP07003 on each LAN Requester 3.0 workstation using LAN Distance to establish a connection to a LAN Server. To obtain CSD IPO7003, contact IBM Software Solutions at 1-800-992-4777 (United States), 1-800-465-2222 (Canada), or 1-800-426-1774 (International). If you cannot obtain CSD IPO7003, edit the DOSLAN.INI file found in the DOSLAN directory, and change the /NMS:0 parameter to /NMS:3. If this parameter does not exist, then add /NMS:3 to any of the existing parameter lines or a new line. ═══ 19.1.4. Changing DOS LAN Requester Performance Parameters ═══ Make the following additions and changes to performance parameters in the DOSLAN.INI file before starting DOS LAN Requester on the LAN Distance Remote: 1. From a DOS command prompt, go to the DOSLAN directory and locate the DOSLAN.INI file. 2. Use an ASCII editor to add the following statement to the DOSLAN.INI file: /NMS:3 /NVS:2 /API 3. Set the /NBS (network buffer size) parameter to match the value for the sizereqbuf parameter in the IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI file on the IBM LAN Server. For example, if the value for the sizereqbuf in the IBMLAN.INI file is 4096, set the /NBS parameter in the DOSLAN.INI file to: /NBS:4K 4. Change the /BBS (big buffer size) parameter so it is 1K larger than the /NBS parameter specified in step Changing DOS LAN Requester Performance Parameters. 5. Change the last character in the /WKS (DLR heuristics) parameter from 0 to 1. /WKS:111121101021211  For more information about tuning DOS LAN Requester performance parameters, see IBM OS/2 LAN Server Network Administrator Reference Volume 2: Performance Tuning. ═══ 19.2. Using the Communications Manager/2 3270 Emulation Feature ═══ A LAN Distance Remote can dial into a LAN and use the 3270 Emulation feature of IBM Communication Manager/2 to access a LAN-attached host controller as shown in Communication Manager/2 Set Up. Communication Manager/2 Set Up Review the following set-up considerations for using Communications Manager/2 and the 3270 emulation feature of the Communications Manager/2 product. o The LAN Distance product supports versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the Communications Manager/2 product. Version 1.1 of the Communications Manager/2 product routes data frames using general broadcast instead of the source routing frames used in version 1.0 of the Communications Manager/2 product. If you are running version 1.1 of the Communications Manager/2 product, verify that the hop count defined at the LAN Distance bridge is large enough to allow general broadcast frames to reach the receiving workstation. See "Example 2: Using OS2PING to Verify the LAN Distance Bridge Hop Count" in "Using OS2PING Troubleshooting and LAN Distance Bridge Configuration" in the LAN Distance Advanced Guide. o Install Communications Manager/2 before you install the LAN Distance product. o Configure the 802.2 LAN protocol on the LAN Distance Remote where the Communications Manager/2 product is installed. See Configuring Additional LAN Protocols Required for Your LAN Applications o Set the maximum number of network bridge hops at the LAN Distance bridge so the data frames sent from the LAN Distance Remote running 3270 emulation can be received at the 3745 controller. See "Setting Up Your LAN Distance Bridge " in the LAN Distance Advanced Guide. Also, see "Example 2: Using OS2PING to Verify the LAN Distance Bridge Hop Count" in "Using OS2PING Troubleshooting and LAN Distance Bridge Configuration" in the LAN Distance Advanced Guide. o The LAN Distance product and Communications Manager/2 cannot simultaneously support ISDN. If you plan to run LAN Distance over an ISDN connection, you cannot simultaneously run Communications Manager/2 if it is configured for ISDN. ═══ 19.3. NetWare Requester for OS/2 ═══ The LAN Distance product supports Novell NetWare Requester for OS/2 2.0 or later and Novell NetWare Server 2.x, 3.1x, 4.0 or later. ═══ 19.3.1. Installing and Configuring NetWare Requester for OS/2 ═══ To set up your LAN Distance Remote to use the NetWare Requester for an OS/2 product to access a NetWare Server over a LAN Distance connection: 1. Install the NetWare Requester product before installing the LAN Distance Remote product. 2. During installation, select the appropriate network interface card driver: o If your NetWare Server is on an Ethernet LAN, select the appropriate network interface card driver for the Ethernet adapter. o If your NetWare Server is on a Token-Ring LAN, select TOKEN.SYS as the network interface card driver. This places the ROUTE.SYS device driver statement in your CONFIG.SYS file so the Token-Ring data frames contain the source routing information required by the LAN Distance product. 3. Install the LAN Distance Remote product on your workstation. See Installing the LAN Distance Product Using Diskettes. 4. Open the Settings notebook and select the LAPS tab, then select the LAPS push button to open the LAPS Configure Workstation window shown in LAPS Configure Workstation Window. LAPS Configure Workstation Window 5. From the Current Configuration list box, select the LAN Distance Logical Adapter. 6. From the Protocols list box, select the IBM NetWare Requester Support protocol. Select Add from the Protocols list box to add IBM NetWare Requester Support to the protocols currently configured for the LAN Distance logical adapter. 7. In the Current Configuration field, select the LAN Distance Logical Adapter and select Edit. 8. Record the 12-character hexadecimal address displayed in the Network adapter address field and select Cancel. 9. In the Current Configuration field, select NetWare Requester Support and select Edit. The Parameters for IBM NetWare Requester Support window (Parameters for IBM NetWare Requester Support) is displayed. Parameters for IBM NetWare Requester Support 10. Enter the 12-character hexadecimal value you recorded earlier in the Network adapter address field. 11. Configure the frame header support to match the type of LAN frame used by your NetWare Server. Type Yes in the appropriate field and select OK. If you do not know the LAN frame type, see your LAN administrator. For Token-Ring networks, the most common LAN frame type is TOKEN-RING. For Ethernet networks, the most common LAN frame type is ETHERNET_ 802.3. 12. To save your changes, exit LAPS, and close the Settings notebook. Note: Before restarting your workstation to activate these changes, complete the steps listed in Avoiding the NetWare Connection Error. 13. Restart your workstation. ═══ 19.3.2. Avoiding the NetWare Connection Error ═══ When you restart your workstation, this NetWare message is displayed: NWD0115: Error getting connection ID (0X880F) This error occurs because the NetWare Requester is trying to locate the NetWare Server before a LAN Distance connection is established. To avoid this error message: 1. Use an ASCII text editor to comment out the following statement in your CONFIG.SYS file: REM RUN C:\NETWARE\NWDAEMON.EXE 2. Restart your workstation and establish a connection to your LAN Distance Connection Server. Before logging on to the NetWare Server, type the following at an OS/2 command prompt: DETACH C:\NETWARE\NWDAEMON.EXE 3. Each time you restart your workstation, complete step Avoiding the NetWare Connection Error before logging on to the NetWare Server. ═══ 19.4. Installing and Configuring NetWare Requester for MS Windows ═══ You can enable NetWare Requester support during LAN Distance installation or after you install the LAN Distance product. The NetWare Requester product must be installed before you can enable NetWare Requester support. To enable NetWare Requester support during LAN Distance installation: 1. When the NetWare Directory window displays, specify the fully-qualified path for the drive and directory where the NetWare Requester product is installed on your workstation (for example, C:\NWCLIENT). 2. When the NetWare Frame Type window displays, specify the type of frame header used by the NetWare Server. For Token-Ring LANs, the most common frame type is TOKEN-RING. For Ethernet LANs, the most common frame type is ETHERNET_802.3. If you do not know your frame type, see your LAN administrator. To enable NetWare Requester support after the LAN Distance product is installed, enable NetWare Requester support through the Settings notebook: 1. Open the LAN Distance group window. 2. Double-click on the Settings icon to display the Settings notebook. 3. Select the NetWare tab. 4. Select Enable NetWare Requester Support 5. In the NetWare Path field, specify the drive and directory where the NetWare Requester product is installed on your workstation (for example, c:\NWCLIENT). 6. In the Frame Type field, specify the type of frame header used by the NetWare Server. For Token-Ring LANs, the most common frame type is TOKEN-RING. For Ethernet LANs, the most common frame type is ETHERNET_802.3. If you do not know your frame type, see your LAN administrator. 7. Close the Settings notebook. 8. When the LAN Distance-Settings dialog box is displayed, select the Yes push button to save your changes. 9. Shut down and restart your workstation. ═══ 19.4.1. Running NetWare Requester on a LAN Distance Remote ═══ Review the following considerations for running NetWare Requester on a LAN Distance Remote: ═══ 19.4.1.1. Copying Utilities to the NetWare Requester ═══ Because the WAN connection cannot efficiently transfer large data files, you should copy frequently used NetWare utilities from the NetWare Server to a local drive on the NetWare Requester. Some frequently used utilities include LOGON.EXE, LOGOUT.EXE, MAP.EXE and SLIST.EXE. These utilities are stored in the SYS:PUBLIC\ directory on the NetWare Server. By running these utilities from a local drive on the LAN Distance Remote, you avoid the delay involved in loading large files over the LAN Distance connection. ═══ 19.4.1.2. Matching MaxFrame Values ═══ When NetWare Requester is installed on the LAN Distance Remote, the MaxFrame parameter in the [SOCKDD_MOD] section of the WAL\PROTOCOL.INI file is set to the default MaxFrame value (1514) for the NetWare Server. The MaxFrame values defined for the NetWare Requester and NetWare Server should match so these workstations send compatible frame sizes. For the NetWare Requester, make sure the MaxFrame values in the [SOCKDD_MOD] and [COMx] sections of the WAL\PROTOCOL.INI match. (COMx identifies the COM port you are using for LAN Distance; for example, COM1 or COM2.) ═══ 19.5. Using TCP/IP for OS/2 ═══ ═══ 19.5.1. Setting Up TCP/IP on a LAN Workstation ═══ The LAN Distance product supports version 1.2.1 and later of the Using TCP/IP for OS/2 product. You can install TCP/IP on a LAN workstation that you plan to use as a LAN Distance Remote, or on a stand-alone LAN Distance Remote workstation. To set up TCP/IP on a LAN workstation that you plan to use as a LAN Distance Remote, or on a stand-alone LAN Distance Remote that already has a LAN adapter installed: 1. Install and configure Using TCP/IP for OS/2 using the automated tool, ICAT, shown in TCP/IP Version 1.2.1. TCP/IP Version 1.2.1 2. From an OS/2 command line, use the COPY command to copy these files from \TCPIP\BIN to \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL. TCPIP.NIF INET.SYS IFNDIS.SYS 3. Shut down and restart your workstation. 4.

If you installed TCP/IP after you installed the LAN Distance Remote product, you must follow these steps for TCP/IP to work: 1. Use an ASCII text editor to edit the CONFIG.SYS file, and be sure that the TCP/IP DEVICE= statement appears after the section of LAN Distance configuration statements. The following statement is an example TCP/IP DEVICE= statement: DEVICE=C:\TCPDOS\BIN\DOSTCP.SYS 2. Use an ASCII text editor and ensure that the TCP/IP section is copied from the \LSP\PROTOCOL.INI file to the C:\WAL\PROTOCOL.INI file, where C:\WAL is the correct drive and pathname of your WAL directory. Change the Bindings value to SOCKDD_MOD, as shown below: Bindings=SOCKDD_MOD 3. Use an ASCII text editor to add the following line to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: CALL TCPSTART ═══ 19.7. Banyan VINES ═══ The LAN Distance product supports VINES Revision 4.11(5), 5.5x, or later, VINES NDIS drivers. ═══ 19.7.1. Installing the Banyan VINES Requester ═══ 1. Install the Banyan VINES Requester on the LAN Distance Remote using the VCLIENT command, or copy the appropriate NDIS and VINES device drivers. For more information on Banyan VINES installation, consult the Banyan VINES manual Managing VINES Workstations. 2. With the OS/2 system editor, edit \CONFIG.SYS and add the following line to the end of the file (if it does not already exist): DEVICE=x:\VINES\DRIVERS\BN_NDIS\NDISBAN2.SYS where x is the letter of the drive on which Banyan VINES is installed. 3. Install the LAN Distance Remote product using Basic Settings. Continue with Steps Installing the Banyan VINES Requester and Installing the Banyan VINES Requester before shutting down your workstation. If you did not use Basic Settings during installation, then configure the LAN Distance product through the Settings notebook and complete Steps Installing the Banyan VINES Requester through Installing the Banyan VINES Requester. 4. If the LAN Distance installation process prompts you to choose between the LAN-attached and remote environments, choose the remote environment. 5. When the LAN Distance Remote product is installed, but before you restart your workstation, edit the PROTOCOL.INI file in the IBMCOM directory. Either add (or if already present, modify) the [VINES_nif] section to match the following: [VINES_nif] DriverName = NDISBAN$ Bindings = PDFH_nif 6. Shut down and restart your workstation. 7. Start the LAN Distance product. 8. To start the Banyan VINES product, from an OS/2 command prompt, access the VINES directory and enter: BAN ═══ 19.7.2. Tips for Running VINES ═══ o Use the VINES command NEWREV to update the VINES drives on the LAN Distance Remote instead of using the VCLIENT command. o Install local copies of all your frequently used VINES utilities and place these files in your VINES (or appropriate) directory. The following files are examples of some of the recommended files to copy: cpmpact. - LOGIN.EXE - LOGIN.MSB - LOGOUT.EXE - LOGOUT.MSB - INTLDATA.BIN o Load Banyan VINES with the "/nl" switch and execute login locally, for example: BAN /nl LOGIN ═══ 19.8. Special Considerations for Installing LAN Support Program ═══ This section describes how to install LAN Support Program (LSP) for 802.2 support after the LAN Distance Remote product is installed. Do not use this method to install, unless: o Your workstation does not have a LAN adapter, AND you have no adapter option diskette available. Note: Some versions of LSP may include an adapter option on the LSP diskette. o You cannot remove the LAN Distance Remote product before installing LSP. o You installed LSP without NDIS 802.2 support. If none of the above cases apply, follow the instructions in Special Considerations for Running Your 802.2 Applications. These steps were based on LSP version 1.33: 1. Insert the LSP diskette in the diskette drive, type A:DXMAID, and press Enter to start the LSP installation program. 2. Press Enter to get past the IBM logo screen and Information panels to the Environment Information panel. 3. From the Environment Information panel, specify the following options for your workstation: Configuration for this computer? Yes Use existing configuration information? Yes Do you have adapter option diskettes? No Are you configuring for 2 adapters? No Do you need 802.2 interface support? Yes Press Enter. 4. From the Selections for Adapter Window, select: SOCKDD_MOD The selection is displayed in the Primary Adapter Window. 5. Press the Tab key to get to the Selections for Protocol Window. 6. From the Selections for Protocol Window, select: IBM DOS IEEE 802.2 Protocol for NDIS (DXME0MOD.SYS) This selection is displayed in the Protocol Window. 7. From the Selections for Protocol Window, ensure that the following protocol is NOT selected: IBM DOS NETBIOS (DXMT0MOD.SYS) This selection should NOT be displayed in the Protocol Window. 8. Press PF4 to begin LSP installation and follow any further instructions. 9. Use an ASCII text editor and remove the following statement from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: \LSP\NETBIND 10. Use an ASCII text editor and make the following changes to the CONFIG.SYS file: a. Replace the following LSP protman device statement: DEVICE=\LSP\PROTMAN.DOC /I:\LSP with this LAN Distance protman device statement: DEVICE=C:\WAL\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\WAL where C:\WAL is the correct drive letter and path for the WAL directory in BOTH places in the statement. b. Ensure that the following device statements are in the CONFIG.SYS file in this order: DEVICE=C:\WAL\PROTMAN.DOS /I:C:\WAL DEVICE=\LSP\DXMA0MOD.SYS 001 DEVICE=C:\WAL\DXMJ0MOD.SYS DEVICE=\LSP\DXME0MOD.SYS 001 where C:\WAL is the correct drive letter and path for the WAL directory. c.

Using LAN Distance Commands for OS/2 Workstations ═══ In addition to using LAN Distance windows, you can use LAN Distance commands to establish connections and run your LAN programs. The LAN Distance command line interface allows you to enter commands at an OS/2 command prompt to: o dial out and make a connection o hang up a call o answer calls on your workstation You can also create command (.CMD) files to automate your dialing tasks. ═══ 20.1. Before You Begin ═══ In order to use LAN Distance commands, you must start the LAN Distance product. To start the LAN Distance product, do one of the following: o Open the LAN Distance Workstations window. o Enter LDSTART at an OS/2 command prompt. This will start the LAN Distance product so that you can enter other LAN Distance commands. ═══ 20.2. Using the LDIST DIAL Command ═══ Use the LDIST DIAL command to dial another LAN Distance To dial a phone book entry named "My Server", at an OS/2 command prompt enter: LDIST DIAL /D:"My Server" When you have a name that contains blanks, "My Server" for example, enclose it in double quotes as in the example above. ═══ 20.2.1. Status with the LDIST DIAL Command ═══ After you enter the LDIST DIAL command, dialing status will display. The status displayed will look similar to the following example, depending on the type of modem that you are using: ATDT555-5555 RING RING CONNECT ECL/9600 The request has completed successfully. You may notice a delay between receiving the modem's CONNECT message and the completion message, while the LAN Distance product exchanges information with the workstation you are dialing. Once you have received the message saying that the request has completed successfully, you can start a LAN-based application, such as IBM LAN Requester. If you have configured your workstation for automatic redial your status will look similar to the following example, depending on your redial configuration and call success: ATDT555-5555 BUSY Waiting to redial ATDT555-5555 RING CONNECT ECL/9600 The request has completed successfully. Phone book entry names are case-sensitive. If you do not enter the phone book entry name correctly on the LDIST DIAL command, the following message is displayed. 'EntryName' represents the name that you typed. WCL0320E: Phone Book entry 'EntryName' does not exist. ═══ 20.2.2. Using User ID and Passphrase with the LDIST DIAL Command ═══ If you are dialing a secure LAN Distance workstation, you will be prompted to log on after you have established a connection. You can use the userid and passphrase options on the LDIST DIAL command to automatically log on when the connection is established. To have the LDIST DIAL command automatically log on a user named "UserId" with passphrase "The passphrase", after establishing a connection, enter: LDIST DIAL /D:"My Server" /U:UserId /P:"The passphrase" If "UserId" is configured to be called back by the server, the status displayed will look similar to: ATDT555-5555 RING RING CONNECT ECL/9600 Waiting for callback The request has completed successfully. ═══ 20.2.3. Using an Alternate Number with the LDIST DIAL Command ═══ You can use the number option with the LDIST DIAL command to use a different telephone number than the one configured in your phone book entry. The following example shows how to enter the LDIST DIAL command in order to dial phone book entry "My Server" with a different telephone number, "999-9999". LDIST DIAL /D:"My Server" /N:999-9999 Using a different telephone number with the LDIST DIAL command will not change the permanent configuration for "My Server". ═══ 20.3. Creating a Command File for Dialing and Starting LAN Programs ═══ You can use LAN Distance commands in a command (.CMD) file to automate your routing dialing tasks. To use a command file to dial a LAN Distance workstation and then start your IBM LAN Requester and access a file resource on an IBM LAN Server that you now have access to, you will need a command file that does the following: 1. Start the LAN Distance product 2. Dial the LAN Distance Connection Server 3. Log on to the LAN Distance Connection Server 4. Start IBM LAN Requester on your workstation 5. Log on to your IBM LAN Server domain 6. Access the files resource The following command file will do this. Notice that after the LDIST DIAL command is issued, a return code is checked to see if the connection was established successfully. If it was successful, the IBM LAN Requester commands are issued, otherwise, the command file is exited. REM Start the LAN Distance product. ldstart REM Dial the LAN Distance Connection Server with Phone Book entry REM "RemoteServer" REM Use the logon option on the dial command to log on to the REM LAN Distance Connection Server after the connection is REM established. ldist dial /d:RemoteServer /u:UserId /p:"The passphrase" REM If we were unable to establish a connection exit the command file. if errorlevel 1 goto exit REM Otherwise, we established a connection. REM Start our LAN Requester. REM net start requester REM Logon to our LAN Server domain. logon Fred /p:Spain REM Access the file resource. net use g: \\MyServer\\MyFiles :exit Sample Command File This example shows how to make a connection with LAN Distance commands and run a LAN program after the connection is established. ═══ 20.4. Using the LDIST HANGUP Command ═══ The LDIST HANGUP command allows you to stop an active connection that you have made with the LDIST DIAL command or with the Phone Book window. To hang up an active connection for a phone book entry named "DIAL LOCATION", enter: LDIST HANGUP /D:"DIAL LOCATION" You will receive this message after the call is stopped: The request completed successfully. Phone book entry names are case-sensitive. If you enter the phone book entry name incorrectly, you will receive the following message. 'EntryName' represents the phone book entry name that you typed. WCL0313E: A call to 'EntryName' does not exist. ═══ 20.5. Using the LDIST START ANSWER Command ═══ The LDIST START ANSWER command lets your workstation answer incoming calls. To start answering calls on your workstation, enter the following: LDIST START /A:PSTN_ALL_CALLS After answer has started, you will receive this message: The request completed successfully. You will receive a pop-up message when an incoming call is received and a connection is established. You can also view the status of your incoming calls by opening the Call and port management window for your workstation. ═══ 20.6. Using the LDIST STOP ANSWER Command ═══ Use the LDIST STOP ANSWER command to stop answering calls on your workstation. To stop answering calls on your workstation, enter the following: LDIST STOP /A:PSTN_ALL_CALLS After answer has stopped, you will receive this message: The request completed successfully. To hang up incoming calls as well as stopping answer, enter: LDIST STOP /A:PSTN_ALL_CALLS /IMMEDIATE Specifying the immediate option will stop any incoming calls. ═══ 20.7. Using the LDIST LOGON Command ═══ If you enabled security for your LAN Distance workstation, you must logon before using other LDIST commands, such as LDIST DIAL. You only need to use the LDIST LOGON command if your workstation is secure. The following command will log a user named "UserId" with passphrase "The passphrase" onto a workstation named "MyWorkstation": LDIST LOGON /S:MyWorkstation /u:UserId /p:"The passphrase" Passphrases are case-sensitive. If you use other LDIST commands before logging on to your secure LAN Distance workstation you will receive the following message: WCL0312E: You are not authorized to perform the requested action. Specifying a user ID and passphrase with the LDIST LOGON command is not required. If you type LDIST LOGON, the LAN Distance Logon window is displayed. Note: The keyboard lights for the Caps Lock, Scroll Lock and Num Lock may fail to light up if you use one of these keys to enter user ID and passphrase information in the LAN Distance Logon window. This problem is only temporary. When the LAN Distance Logon window is closed, these lights will function normally. ═══ 20.8. Using the LDIST LOGOFF Command ═══ Enter the following to log a user named "UserId" off of a workstation named "MyWorkstation". LDIST LOGOFF /S:MyWorkstation /u:UserId If you log off a workstation that you have dialed, the connection will remain active. ═══ 21.
