  92. | 12/17/92 TWINAX DRIVER.                                     |

  94. |
  95. | The ES1 Hardware and Software Reference, P1-9, lists two
  96. | drivers for TWINAX adapters, but it doesn't make clear
  97. | which is for the AT-type bus and which is for Microchannel.
  98. | T1P1NDD.SYS is for Microchannel, and T1P1SDD.SYS is the
  99. | driver for AT, ISA, or non-MCA machines.

  101. +-------------------------------------------------------------+
  102. |  SDLC CONNECTION TO AN OS400 - HINTS                        |
  103. +-------------------------------------------------------------+
  104. |
  105. | 1: Be sure the controller description on the
  106. | 400 uses an XID of 05D XXXXX. Apparently, DOS
  107. | pcsupport creates a description with a default
  108. | xid of 001 XXXXX.
  109. | Also, do not define role as negotiable;
  110. | The 400 should be primary, and the
  111. | workstation should be secondary
  112. |
  113. | 2: ES1 Basic config can insert a default
  114. | Partner Node Name (in the Network Definitions/
  115. | SNA Connections profile) of CP000002. This
  116. | should be changed to match the actual partner
  117. | node name of the host.
  118. |
  119. | 3: ES1 doesnt support autodial. If the modem
  120. | does not support manual dial, the following may
  121. | help: leave the modem off until the popup
  122. | message telling the user to dial the line
  123. | appears, then turn it on. This allowed one
  124. | customer to connect. For normal use, possibly
  125. | a delay can be put in the command stream so the
  126. | modem doesn't dial until Comm Mgr is ready.
  127. | This may take some experimentation.

  130. | 04/09/93 ACS0127 MESSAGE WHEN RESTARTING COMMUNICATIONS MGR |
  131. +-------------------------------------------------------------+
  132. |
  133. | Environment: AS/400 V2R1.1, OS/2 EE 1.3, and OS/2 PC Support
  134. |              installed.
  135. |
  136. | Scenario: 1. Start OS/2 Communications Manager.
  137. |           2. Start OS/2 PC Support.
  138. |           3. End OS/2 Communications Manager
  139. |              (Exit Immediately)
  140. |           4. Start OS/2 Communications Manager.
  141. |           5. Receive OS/2 Communications Manager error
  142. |              message ACS0127 or ACS0127C.
  143. |              ('Communications Manager is already started
  144. |              or is being restarted and previous
  145. |              application programs using it are still
  146. |              active').
  147. |
  148. | Cause:    AS/400 Shared Folders are still active in the
  149. |           background.
  150. |
  151. | Solution: There is no way in OS/2 to end the background
  152. |           task that controls Shared Folders. However, in
  153. |           PC Support/400 V2R2 there is a program STOPFLR
  154. |           which will end the task and let you restart
  155. |           Communications Manager without a reboot.
  156. |
  157. +-------------------------------------------------------------+
  158. | 04/09/93 REMOTE CONTROL UNITS DO NOT SUPPORT SEGMENTING     |
  159. +-------------------------------------------------------------+
  160. |
  161. | The 5394 & 5494 remote control unit devices do not support
  162. | segmenting. The RUSIZE parameter in the AS/400 controller
  163. | description should be smaller than 512 and should match
  164. | Communication Manager's RUSIZE exactly. Recommended size 496.
