USING THE LANMAN SETUP PROGRAM TO INSTALL THE ASYBEUI/ASYNCMAC DRIVERS
This file contains information on installing the AsyncBeui and the
AsyncMac drivers required to allow a remote client to dial into your
LAN Manager 2.0 server.
CREATING A LANMAN IMPORT DRIVER DISKETTE
1. Format a diskette and label the volume OEMDRIVER.
2. Create the following subdirectories on the diskette and include
the files shown below in each subdirectory:
\ (root)
|
|--- MSLANMAN.OS2
|
|--- DRIVERS
|
|--- NIF
| |
| CPQASY.NIF
|
|--- XIF
| |
| ASYBEUI.XIF
|
|--- ASYNC
| |
| |--- CPQASY
| |
| CPQASY.OS2
| CPQASY.SYM
| (PROTOCOL.ASY renamed to) --> PROTOCOL.INI
|
|--- PROTOCOL
|
|--- ASYBEUI
|
ASYBEUI.OS2
ASYBEUI.SYM
(PROTOCOL.PRO renamed to) --> PROTOCOL.INI
INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ON THE SERVER
1. Change to the Lanman directory on your computer and run the Setup program.
C:\LANMAN> setup
2. Hit Return after reading the initial screen, which gives instructions on
which options to select for Installing Lanman, and for modifying an
existing installation. We have to choose the Modify option.
3. Select the Actions menu and the Import Network Drivers option.
4. Follow the prompting screens that appear until you arrive at the Import
Network Drivers screen. Using either your space bar or your mouse, mark
the network adapter card and protocol sections in order to import the
Compaq Async Driver and Protocol onto your hard drive system
5. When the import process is completed, select the Actions menu and the
View/Modify option in it.
6. Some more screens will pop up, and unless you wish to change something keep
hitting return, until you reach the Network Configuration screen.
7. You can use the TAB key to move between the windows shown in this screen
or you can use the mouse. Move to the window titled Network Adapter Cards.
8. Search through all the entries (using either the mouse or the cursor keys)
until you find the entry 'COMPAQ Async NDI'.
9. Now select the ADD DRIVER option (by holding down ALT+A or clicking that
option using the mouse). You should see a new entry appear in the Network
Configuration window. It should look like the following:
COMPAQ Async NDI...........................(Protocol Needed)
10. Now select the AsyncBeui protocol for this driver. Move to the Protocols
window. There should be an entry titled AsyncBeui 2.0. With the highlight
on this option, choose the ADD PROTOCOL option (by holding down ALT+P or
using the mouse). The added entry in the Network Configuration window
should change and should look something like this:
COMPAQ Async NDI.............................AsyncBeui 2.0
11. Choose the Done option (ALT+D or use the mouse).
12. This should return you to the main screen of the Lanman Setup program. Now
exit the Setup program by choosing the Exit option. Setup warns you about
the changes you made and asks if you want them saved. Choose YES (default).
13. Setup will save the changes and exit the program.
The Async software has now been installed. There are a few more configuration
issues left to deal with.
SERVER CONFIGURATION- Enabling Auto Answer for Dial-in Services
The server might have the modem connected to either COM1 or COM2 or both.
We consider the simpler case of the modem being connected to either one of these
COM ports. The PROTOCOL.INI file in the C:\LANMAN directory can be modified so
that AUTOANSWER is enabled at the port at Boot time.
If you choose to enable AUTOANSWER at Boot time, do the following:
1. Go into the C:\LANMAN directory
2. Use your favorite editor to edit the PROTOCOL.INI file in this directory.
3. Search for the section which should look similar to the one shown below
[CPQASY_NIF]
;****COMPAQ ASYNC NDI****
;**** ****
;AUTOANSWER = COM2
BAUDRATE = 2400
DRIVERNAME = CPQASY$
MAXRECEIVES = 3
MAXTRANSMITS = 8
MAXFRAMESIZE = 1518
The AUTOANSWER parameter is the one which should be changed to reflect the port
that the modem is connected to, on the server. Remove the semi-colon before the
line (semi-colons are used to comment out a line), and change the COM2 value to
COM1 (if the modem is connected to COM1) or let it remain as it is (if the modem
is connected to COM2). Save the file. You will have to reboot the system for the
changes to take effect.
Your LAN Manager 2.0 server should now be accessible over a phone line from a
remote workstation running the Asybeui protocol. The driver will establish a
named pipe session on your server that will allow remote access to your SQL
Server data.
NOTES:
1. The async driver, cpqasy.os2 will attempt to use the com port it needs.
If you have installed any other com drivers, then the cpqasy driver will
fail to install (if autoanswer is enabled at boot time), or the NET REMOTE
program will indicate that you cannot dial out on a particular port as it
is not available. So on a PS/2, DO NOT install the COM02.SYS driver before
the CPQASY.OS2 driver, as the com driver will take over all the ports on the
PS/2.
2. From the feedback received, this setup does not seem to work with the Hayes
compatible IBM internal modem. The differences have not been examined yet, and
a solution is not yet available.
