STAC NOTE STAC NOTE
INSTALLING MULTIPLE HOST SESSIONS OF REACHOUT FROM A NETWORK
DIRECTORY ON A MULTIPROCESSOR SYSTEM
(Applies to Reachout versions 3.X, 4.X, 5.X)
STAC FAX 8105 (05-25-1995)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND
ReachOut executable files may be shared from a network directory.
When INSTALL PUBLIC is run from the shared network drive it
copies only the most necessary files to the user's private
directory.
Maintenance of a multiprocessor dial-in system, such as a Cubix
or J&L Chatterbox, especially those with hundreds of processors
on line, may be difficult using this method. This document
outlines a method of installation for those systems. It has been
developed for use on a Novell Network and certain aspects of it
may have to be modified for Banyan or Netbios.
1. Install ReachOut to a network drive. Example
F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT
2. Modify CONFIG.SYS to include the statement with the * in
the example below: (don't type in the *)
DEVICE=C:\BOOT\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\BOOT\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.SYS /Y /S100
DEVICEHIGH=C:\BOOT\ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=RAMDRIVE.SYS 384 /E *
BUFFERS=30
FILES=20
STACKS 9,256
3. Modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include the lines with the *
in the example below: (don't type in the *)
CD\NETWARE
LOADHIGH C:\NETWARE\LSL
LOADHIGH C:\NETWARE\3C509
C:\NETWARE\IPXODI
CD\
LOADHIGH C:\DOS\DOSKEY
C:\DOS\MODE CON: RATE=31 DELAY=1
PATH D:\BATS;D:\WINDOWS;D:\;C:\DOS;D:\UTIL;
SET TEMP=D:\WINDOWS\TEMP
PROMPT $P$G
SET DIRCMD=/OEN
F: *
CD\LOGIN\REACHOUT *
CALL GHM MACHINE1 *
4. Modify the GHM.BAT file to include OR change the portion of
the example file displayed below: (DonÆt type in the comments
after the semicolons.)
SET RCHPATH=ramdrive:\
COPY F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\REACHOUT.PRM ramdrive:\
COPY F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\MODEM.RCH ramdrive:\
COPY F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\LICENSE.EXE ramdrive:\ ; ver 5.0 only
COPY F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\REACHOUT.LIC ramdrive:\ ; ver 5.0 only
COPY F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\PASSWORD.RCH ramdrive:\ ; ver 5.0 only
F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\RCHSRL NAME=%1
F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\RCHDOS
F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\DOSGRAPH
F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT\HOSTMDM
where "ramdrive" is the letter of the Ramdrive.
5. Run SECURITY.EXE from the F:\LOGIN\REACHOUT directory.
Select the option "Disallow Private Password Directory."
Save the settings to the default file name REACHOUT.SEC.
6. If the Reachout executables will be re-mapped to a different
drive during the Viewers login process use the SETPATH.EXE
(included w/ versions 4.04 and above) in the Reachout
directory to allow Reachout to find its executable files.
Example "SETPATH G:\REACHOUT"
