ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. TCP/IP Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the TCP/IP installation program to install one or more of the kits that
comprise IBM* TCP/IP Version 2.0 for OS/2*.
When you initiate the TCP/IP installation program, the TCP/IP Installation Tool
window is displayed. To install TCP/IP for OS/2, do the following:
1. Select the kits that you want to install.
2. If you want to install TCP/IP for OS/2 to a directory other than the
default directory, specify base directory for installation.
3. Specify whether you want TCP/IP for OS/2 to update your CONFIG.SYS.
4. If you are installing the Base Kit, specify whether you want TCP/IP to
configure your network connection.
5. Specify whether you want TCP/IP for OS/2 to install the LAN Adapter and
Protocol Support.
6. If you selected Configure network connection, specify the following:
o Host name
o IP address
o Subnet mask
o Router IP address
When you have completed all appropriate fields, select Install to proceed with
the installation.
Installing from the TCP/IP Product Diskettes
If you selected to install LAPS, the installation program prompts you to insert
the LAPS diskette. The TCP/IP installation program then invokes the LAPS
installation program, allowing you to install and configure LAPS. When you exit
the LAPS installation program, the TCP/IP installation program begins prompting
you for the product diskettes.
Installing from an Established Network Drive
If you selected to install LAPS, the installation program invokes the LAPS
installation program, allowing you to install and configure LAPS. When you exit
the LAPS installation program, the TCP/IP installation program begins unpacking
the product files.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Overview of the TCP/IP for OS/2 Kits ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
TCP/IP for OS/2 is packaged in kits; a Base Kit and several component kits.
The Base Kit provides the protocol stack necessary to support all the functions
of TCP/IP for OS/2. It also provides a base set of applications, including
telnet, ftp, and sendmail. There are other products that provide the same
protocol stack. Therefore, TCP/IP for OS/2 has been designed to allow you to
install the component kits either on the TCP/IP for OS/2 Base Kit or on another
product that provides the necessary protocol stack.
The component kits available for TCP/IP for OS/2 are:
o Applications Kit
o Domain Name Server Kit
o DOS/Windows Access Kit
o Extended Networking Kit
o OSF/Motif Kit
o Network File Server Kit
o Programmer's Toolkit
o X Window System Server Kit
o X Window System Client Kit
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Applications Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Applications Kit provides the TCP/IP for OS/2 applications included in the
Base Kit without the underlying TCP/IP protocol stack.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Domain Name Server Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Domain Name Server Kit provides support for a hierarchical naming system
for naming hosts, allowing system administrators to name local domains with in
an internet.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. DOS/Windows Access Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The DOS/Windows Access Kit enables DOS or Windows** TCP/IP user-written
applications that use the WinSock API to run over an OS/2 environment through
TCP/IP for OS/2. This kit also enables character-based DOS applications, which
have been written to the programming interfaces of IBM TCP/IP for DOS, to run
in an OS/2 DOS session.
The DOS/Windows Access Kit requires OS/2 Version 2.1 or later.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Extended Networking Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Extended Networking Kit enables you to install and configure an X.25 or
SNALINK interface.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. OSF/Motif Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The OSF/Motif** Kit is comprised of two parts; the OSF/Motif Runtime Services
and the OSF/Motif Programmer's Toolkit. The Runtime Services provide the DLLs
that enable users to run Motif applications on OS/2. The Programmer's Toolkit
provides the standard OSF/Motif widgets and header files that enable users to
create Motif applications on OS/2.
The Motif Kit requires the X Window Client Kit and the TCP/IP Programmer's
Toolkit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Network File Server Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Network File Server** Kit enables you to share drive resources across
networks as if the resources were local. It uses the User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) for communication between clients and servers.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Programmer's Toolkit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Programmer's Toolkit provides routines for application programming in
TCP/IP for OS/2. These routines include sockets, RPCs, the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) application programming interface (API), and the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) distributed programming interface. These routines
use the 32-bit compiler, IBM C Set/2 Version 1.0.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.8. X Window System Server Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The X Window System** Server Kit enables you to display and control X Window
System client applications in an OS/2 Presentation Manager windowed session.
Because the X Window System server uses OS/2 Presentation Manager as the window
manager, it supports all of the keyboard, display, and pointer devices that are
supported by OS/2 Presentation Manager.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.9. X Window System Client Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The X Window System** Client Kit is comprised of two parts; the X Window System
Client Runtime Services and the X Window System Client Programmer's Toolkit.
The Runtime Services provide the DLLs that enable users to run X Window
applications on OS/2. The Programmer's Toolkit provides the standard X Window
System APIs from the MIT Consortium that enable users to create X Window
applications for OS/2 or to port X Window applications from other platforms.
The X Window Client Kit requires the TCP/IP Programmer's Toolkit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Base Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you want to install TCP/IP for OS/2 to a directory other than the default
directory, specify the target drive and directory in the Base directory for the
installation field. For example, D:\TCPIP , where D is the target drive and
TCPIP is the name of the target directory on that drive.
Ensure that the directory specified is located on a drive that has enough free
disk space to store all the TCP/IP kits that you want to install. The required
disk space for each kit is noted in parentheses beside the kit name on the
TCP/IP Installation Tool window. If you already have components of TCP/IP for
OS/2 installed on your workstation, we recommend that you install any
additional components to the same base directory.
Note: If you are installing a TCP/IP customer service diskette, specify the
same directory that was used for the original installation.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Update CONFIG.SYS ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In most cases, you will want TCP/IP to update your CONFIG.SYS, however if you
do not want TCP/IP to make the necessary changes to the PATH, LIBPATH, HELP,
and other statements in your CONFIG.SYS, deselect Update CONFIG.SYS.
If TCP/IP updates your CONFIG.SYS, your current CONFIG.SYS is saved to a file
called CONFIG.TCP. If TCP/IP does not update your CONFIG.SYS, it makes a copy
of your CONFIG.SYS, modifies the copy and saves it to CONFIG.TCP.
Note: If the necessary modifications are not made to your CONFIG.SYS, you will
not be able to access the TCP/IP configuration notebook.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Configure network connection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you are installing the Base Kit, you need to configure your network
connection. To create a basic network configuration, select this check box and
enter information in the following fields:
o Host name
o IP address
o Subnet mask
o Router IP address
If you have an existing TCP/IP already installed, the basic network
configuration information will be migrated. Therefore, you do not need to
select this check box or fill in the associated fields.
If you do not create your basic network configuration during installation, or
if any of the information changes, you can use the TCP/IP configuration
notebook to create or modify the basic network configuration.
Note: This field is not available if you have not selected to install the Base
Kit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
TCP/IP requires the TCP/IP network driver provided by the current version of
LAPS. Unless you have a current version of LAPS and an existing TCP/IP already
installed, you need to install and configure LAPS.
Select this check box to install and configure LAPS as part of this TCP/IP
installation. When you have completed the fields on this window and select
Install, you will be prompted to insert the LAPS diskette. The TCP/IP
installation program will invoke the LAPS installation and configuration
program.
When you install and configure LAPS, your CONFIG.SYS is modified. Your current
CONFIG.SYS is saved to a file called CONFIG.LAP.
Warning: When you install and configure LAPS, your current PROTOCOL.INI file is
replaced. Therefore, ensure that you configure each protocol for each adapter.
Note: This field is not available if you have not selected to install the Base
Kit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Host Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Your host name is the unique name assigned to your workstation. It is provided
by your network administrator, and can be 1 to 30 alphanumeric characters. It
cannot contain blanks or special characters.
This field is optional. However, if you do not provide a host name at
installation, you will need to use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to specify
a host name before you can use TCP/IP.
Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
connection.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. IP Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is the unique internet address assigned to
your workstation. It is provided by your network administrator, and is in the
format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
This field is optional. However, if you do not provide an IP address at
installation, you will need to use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to specify
an IP address before you can use TCP/IP.
Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
connection.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Subnet Mask ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Your subnet mask is a mask used to separate the subnet address from the host
portion of the address. It is provided by your network administrator, and is in
the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. Each nnn is one of the following: 255, 254, 252,
248, 240, 224, 192, 128, or 0. If one of the numbers in the subnet mask is not
255, the numbers that follow must all be 0.
This field is optional. If you do not provide a subnet mask, the default
netmask for the class of your IP address is used. You can use the TCP/IP
configuration notebook to modify your subnet mask after installation.
Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
connection.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Router IP Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Your router IP address is a the internet address of your default router or
gateway. A router allows your workstation to communicate with other hosts that
are not on your local area network (LAN). Your router IP address is provided by
your network administrator, and is in the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
This field is optional. However, if you do not provide a router IP address,
you will need to use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to specify a router IP
address before you can communicate with hosts that are on other LANs.
Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
connection.
