This section includes information on how to install RAS on
workstations running MS-DOS, with or without Microsoft Windows,
and how to install RAS when you need to use the network in the office
and from a remote site. If you will only be using your workstation for dialing in
to a network, go directly to the following sections. If you need to connect to a network both from a remote site
and from your office, your workstation must have a LAN Manager
network driver to access the network from the office, and the RAS
drivers to access the network from a remote site. See "Installing
on Dual-Role Workstations," later in this appendix. Installing on MS-DOS | |
LAN Manager workstation software must be loaded on
your workstation prior to installing RAS. To install RAS on MS-DOS Insert the RAS installation disk in drive A. Type a:\setup.
The Setup box appears on the screen. Use the TAB key to move around
in the Setup box. Pressing ENTER selects the highlighted option. If the Setup program detects that a network adapter driver
has been configured, the program asks whether the user plans to
use a: Network adapter or modem, but not
both at the same time. Network adapter and modem at the same time.
If you plan to use a computer both at and away from the office,
select the first option. If you plan to use a computer only at the
office, select the second option. If no network adapter is detected, the Setup program assumes
you will only be using RAS from a remote site. The system installs the files, and the Add COM Port box appears
on the screen. Specify a port and click the OK button. See the
Help screen for detailed informa tion on port setting choices. The Configuration box appears on the screen. Choose one or more of the following: To accept the configuration defaults
as indicated on the screen, choose the OK button. To choose a different port, click the Add Port button,
and specify the port you want to use (for example, COM2). To choose a different type of modem, click the Select
Modem button, and se lect your modem type. To load the RAS drivers manually at startup, click
on the X.
Choose the OK button. The Install Complete box appears
on the screen. Restart your computer.
For additional instructions, use Setup Help, or contact your
network administrator. Installing on Microsoft Windows | |
LAN Manager must be loaded on your workstation prior
to installing RAS. Once the software is installed on Microsoft Windows,
the RAS Phone Book will be on your Microsoft Windows version
3.1 screen. To install RAS on Microsoft Windows Follow the steps in "Installing on MS-DOS." Type win
to start the Windows operating system. From the Program Manager, choose File. From the File menu, choose New. From the New Program Object dialog box, choose Program
Item. Choose the OK button. In the Description box, enter the following: REMOTE ACCESS PHONE BOOK In the Command Line box, enter the following: RASPHONE.EXE Choose the Change Icon. The Select Icon dialog box appears. In the File Name box, enter one of following: If you are running LAN Manager
Enhanced, enter: C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG\RASPHONE.ICO - Or - If you are running LAN Manager Basic, enter: C:\LANMAN.DOS\BASIC\RASPHONE.ICO
If you have installed LAN Manager to a directory
other than C:\LAN MAN.DOS, replace C:\LANMAN.DOS
with that directory name. Choose the OK button. In the Program Properties dialog box, choose the
OK button.
Installing on Dual-Role Workstations | |
Your workstation must have a LAN Manager network
driver to access the network from the office and the RAS drivers
to access the network from a remote site. However, you only use
one set of these drivers at a time. This section shows you how to
unload whichever driver you aren't using. To set up your workstation to connect to the network from
a remote site Unload any network protocol drivers
used at the office by typing unload protocol before loading
the RAS drivers and attempting a remote connection.
| | | |  | NOTE: The unload command will not unload
device drivers or terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs that
do not conform to the LAN Manager Demand Protocol Architecture
(DPA), such as statically loaded protocols. Type load /i
to see the names of the protocols that can be unloaded using the
unload command. Protocols must be unloaded
in the reverse order of which they are listed. If the protocol you
are running cannot be unloaded using the unload command, you may
unload it by running the LAN Manager Setup program, removing
that protocol from your configuration, and rebooting your computer. | | | | |
Now you can use the commands in "Using the Network,"
later in this appendix, to connect to the network from a remote
site. To set up your workstation to connect to the network from
the office Type rasload /u
to unload the RAS drivers and to stop the Workstation service. Use
rasload /u /y to answer yes to all the questions
normally asked when stopping the Workstation service. Type load protocol
to load the protocol you need to use to connect to the Windows NT
or LAN Manager network.
If your workstation is in the office and is connected by cable
to the network, the LAN Manager commands described in this
manual will work. Conserving Memory on MS-DOS Workstations | |
This section describes two ways to conserve memory: unloading
the RAS drivers when you don't need them, and loading the
RAS drivers into upper memory when they are in use. Unloading the RAS DriversType rasload /u
to unload the RAS drivers and stop the Workstation service. Use
rasload /u /y to
answer yes to all the questions normally asked when stopping the
Workstation service. Loading the RAS Drivers Into Upper Memory with LAN ManagerOn MS-DOS client workstations, the RAS Setup program adds
the following lines to the [asybeui_xif]
section of PROTOCOL.INI: load="asybeui", "vcommiod[u]", "wantsr[u]"
unload="wantsr /u[c]", "vcommiod /u[c]", "asybeui[du]" |
The [u] switch in the LOAD= line allows MS-DOS version 5 or
6 to load the RAS drivers into upper memory. You can also use a
third-party memory manager to load the drivers into upper memory.
For example, if you are using Quarterdeck expanded memory manager
QEMM386®, you would insert the QEMM386 LOADHI command as
follows: load="loadhi lanman.dos\drivers\protocol\asybeui\asybeui[cbr]",
"loadhi vcommiod[c]", "loadhi wantsr[c]"
unload="wantsr /u[c]", "vcommiod /u[c]", "asybeui[du]" |
The LOAD command accepts the following switches: The default switches are [ubr]. Before
binding, be sure the program is already loaded; that is, use [u]
or [c] before using [b].
Before registering, be sure that the file is both loaded and bound;
that is, use [u] or [c]
and [b] before using [r]. |
