- TITLE: NACS V2 and Mirror from SoftKlone
- DOCUMENT ID#: FYI.S.NACS01
- DATE: 06AUG91
- PRODUCT: NACS
- PRODUCT VERSION: v2.09
- SUPERSEDES: NA
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Script stops
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- The program Mirror (SoftKlone Industries (904) 878-8564), a
- Minitel emulator, had a problem interpreting a string from
- NASI. It appears that the program receives a "@" character
- from NASI or the interface SoftKlone built to hook NASI. A
- script was waiting for a particular character string and the
- "@" symbol stopped the script.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- A wait string for the "@" character and then a GOTO statement
- for the original wait string.

- TITLE: NACS and Crosstalk Mark IV - "NACS is not
- responding"
- DOCUMENT ID#: FYI.S.NACS02
- DATE: 15NOV91
- PRODUCT: NACS02
- PRODUCT VERSION: All versions
- SUPERSEDES: NA
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Error stating that the NACS is not responding
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- Crosstalk has a setting for NASI. If this is chosen, a field
- appears prompting for a server name. It appears to require
- the NACS server name, but it does not. It needs the Specific
- or General name of a NACS port. If the NACS server name is
- entered, an error appears stating that the NACS is not
- responding.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Try a NACS port name in the server name field before
- troubleshooting the NACS. What Crosstalk requires is a
- SERVICE name on the NACS.
-
- It is expected that the publisher of Crosstalk will change
- this in a future release.

- PRODUCT: NACS
- PRODUCT VERSION: v2x
- SUPERSEDES: NA
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Unable to upload with the YModem Protocol
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- NASI's maximum write data buffer size is 498 bytes and maximum
- read data buffer size is 512 bytes. Ymodem and Ymodem G
- protocol use 512 bytes. Therefore, Y modem can be used to
- download but not upload.
-

- NACS/NASI2.

-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- Anywhere for LAN is just as subject to network address
- conflicts as a router. You can attach to a port; however, if
- there is an address conflict, the following message will be

-
- SOLUTION
-
- Make certain there are no duplicate network addresses.

- PRODUCT: NACS
- PRODUCT VERSION: v3
- SUPERSEDES: NA
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- LC:unable to build streams for service SPX, error code 910h
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- Page 4-7 of the NACS Administration Guide tells the
- installer to "load SPX." However, if COMMEXEC is loaded it
- returns the following error:
-
- ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ─────┐
- │LC:unable to build streams for service SPX, error code
- 910h│
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- ─────┘
-
- The CS prompt does come up and NACS can be loaded. The NACS
- appears to work but COMEX.CSC (NACS autoloader) does not run.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- The guide is not correct. It should say "load SPXS."

- PRODUCT: NACS
- PRODUCT VERSION: v3x
- SUPERSEDES: NA
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- LC: Unload from NetWare console of service:NACS
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- The DigiBoards would initialize and everything seemed fine
- until CSSTATUS was loaded and CSLOAD NACS was typed. Then the
- following error message was received:
-
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │LC: Unload from NetWare console of service:NACS│
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- SOLUTION
-
- Add the statement NODE=0 to the AUTOEXEC.NCF so that it reads
- as follows:
-
- load aiodgxi port=xxxx mem=xxxxx node=0
-
- Note: This command must be in lowercase.
-
- According to DigiBoard documentation, you need to add NODE=0
- to AIO drivers 1.0.2 or earlier. The driver on DigiBoards BBS
- dated 05-28-92 is version 1.0.1 and is certified.

- TITLE: Printing with 3270 LAN Workstation for Windows
- DOCUMENT ID#: FYI.S.SAA39
- DATE: 22DEC92
- PRODUCT: 3270 LAN Workstation for Windows
- PRODUCT VERSION: v1.0
- SUPERSEDES: NA
-
- SYMPTOM
-
- Escape sequence problems
-
- ISSUE/PROBLEM
-
- The 3270 LAN Workstation for Windows utilizes Microsoft's
- Windows printer drivers for host (LU1 and 3) printing.
-
- The interrelationship between the Workstation and the Windows
- printer drivers results in problems with the insertion of
- escape sequences through LU1 transparently into the printer
- datastream.
-
- SOLUTION
-
- A workaround is to use a PASSTHROUGH call to the Windows
- printer drivers.
-
- However, because of the way the Windows printer drivers buffer
- the entire page of text, this results in all escape sequences
- and transparent data being sent at the start of each page
- before the text and initialization control codes (which will
- then override the escape sequences).
-
- Contact with Microsoft indicates that the problem will not be
- corrected by any contemplated change in the Windows printer
- drivers.
-
- Changing 3270 LAN Workstation for Windows to support IPDS
- (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) would correct the problem.
- Such a change is being considered.
-
- Users have two options for a complete solution:
-
- 1. Purchase NetWare HostPrint, and print using it thereby
- bypassing the Windows printer drivers.
-
- 2. Purchase a third-party product that supports IPDS such as
- Dr. Materna's Windows emulator.
