Introduction to GENOAD
GENOAD is the Iomega Open Architecture Driver (OAD) custom configuration utility.
This is GENOAD on-line help. You can get help at any time by pressing <F1>. Help is displayed for the current menu.
Key and mouse prompts are displayed at the bottom of the screen at all times. Mouse buttons are shown as (LEFT) for the left mouse button and (RIGHT) for the right mouse button.
Use GENOAD to create or edit custom OAD configuration files. The configuration file is necessary for the driver to operate your Bernoulli or LaserSafe subsystems. Initially, GENOAD is used to create an OAD configuration specifically for your system. Later, GENOAD is used to customize or create alternate OAD configurations.
Press <PgDn> for more help. <Pg 1 of 4>%
Press <Esc> to exit.
Using GENOAD for Initial Configuration
After you have installed the Iomega OAD driver, use GENOAD to create a custom configuration file specifically for your system. (Refer to your "Iomega Drivers for OS/2 User's Manual" for installation instructions.)
You can create the OAD configuration file, CONFIG.OAD, automatically by using the Hardware Scan option from the Main Menu. The Hardware Scan option scans the system for adapters and connected devices and automatically creates a valid configuration for your system. After the Hardware Scan is complete, simply exit GENOAD.
As you exit, GENOAD will prompt you to save the configuration. Answer yes, and the configuration will be saved to the CONFIG.OAD file. (The suggested file will be "CONFIG". The .OAD extension is added automatically.) After saving the file, reboot the system to load the new configuration.
Press <PgUp> or <PgDn> for more Help. <Page 2 of 4>
Press <Esc> to Exit.
Using GENOAD for Custom Configurations
The Hardware Scan option is the easiest way to create a configuration file for a particular system; however, you can manually create a configuration file using the other options in the Main Menu. The rest of this introduction deals with creating a configuration file manually.
Manual Configuration
When GENOAD requires information from you, a menu of choices appears. Each menu has a specific help screen that can be called by pressing <F1>. The menus and help files will help you create a valid configuration file. To create a configuration file manually you must perform each of the following tasks.
Press <PgUp> or <PgDn> for more help. <Pg 3 of 4>
Manual Configuration (Cont.) Press <Esc> to exit.
Manual Configuration Tasks
1. Select a starting point for the configuration by choosing an option
from the Main Menu.
2. Select the available adapters and devices for your system.
3. Define the settings and options for the available adapters and
devices.
4. Define the physical and logical connections between the adapters
and devices.
5. Define any pre/post processors for the devices.
6. Save the new configuration to the CONFIG file.
