To run the NS/Router on a TCP/IP Based Network
----------------------------------------------

A. WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
   Novell DOS 6.0 or higher or MS-DOS 3.3 or higher
   MS Windows 3.1 (enhanced mode only)
   NS/Router v4.02 or higher  (these files)
   TCP/IP driver
   386 or higher processor
Appropriate network adapter (For a current list of adapters, contact
the Novell Product Information Center at 1-800-NETWARE.)   

Note: TCP/IP drivers are found in Novell's LAN WorkPlace(R) for DOS
product.   
   
B. NETWARE FOR SAA SERVER REQUIREMENTS
   NetWare for SAA v1.3B or higher
   PU 2.1 SAA service profile 
   AS400PCS.NLM v2.09 or higher*
   NetWare 3.11, 3.12, or NetWare 4.01
   TCP/IP protocol stack loaded on the server  
   386 or higher processor 
Appropriate adapter(s) for host and/or network link (For a current
list of adapters, contact the Novell Product Information Center at
1-800-NETWARE.)  
         
C. Make the following changes to AUTOEXEC.NCF.
1. Specify the frame type appropriate to your board.  
  - Specify frame=ethernet_II if you are using an Ethernet board.  
  - Specify frame=token-ring_snap if you are using a Token Ring board.

2. Bind the IP protocol to the board specified using the correct IP
address and mask type for your environment.
    
3. Add the statement: LOAD TCPIP.

Example, if you are using an Ethernet board, you should add the
following lines to AUTOEXEC.NCF:
  load ne2000 port=300 int=3 frame=ethernet_II name=tcpip1
  bind ip to tcpip1 addr=130.57.32.21  mask=255.255.252.0
  load tcpip  
 
D. Do the following at all workstations:

1. If you have not already done so, install LAN WorkPlace(R) for DOS.

2. Copy WLIBSOCK.DLL and VTCPIP.386 to your Microsoft (MS) Windows
system directory.  These files are part of LAN WorkPlace for DOS.  A
general protection error will result if you attempt to run the
NS/Router without these files in the MS Windows system directory. 
 
3. Make the following changes to the [386Enh] parameters to
SYSTEM.INI.   
3a. Add vtcpip.386 to the device parameter. 

3b. Make sure that the device parameter path specifies the directory
that contains VTCPIP.386.  

3c. If you are installing MS Windows on your network instead of your
hard drive, add the TimerCriticalSection=10000 parameter to increase 
the time-out value of MS Windows.
A sample of the 386Enh parameters in a SYSTEM.INI file.
        [386Enh]
        TimerCriticalSection=10000
        device=C:\NET\BIN\vtcpip.386
   
4. Make the following changes to NET.CFG.
Under Link Support
  Set Buffers to 8 1516 
  Set MemPool to 4096 or higher
  Set MAX STACKS to 8 or higher

Under Link Driver 
  Specify token ring or Ethernet
  Specify the appropriate frame type
  Set to Ethernet II if the frame type is Ethernet
  Set to SNAP if the frame type is token ring

Under Protocol TCP/IP
  Set ip_router to the name of the nearest router or the name of the 
  NetWare(R) for SAA server. 
  Set ip_address to the workstation's internal address.  
  Set ip_netmask to match the way your environment masks the IP
  address.

A sample NET.CFG file configured to run NS/Router on a TCP/IP network:
Link Support
  Buffers 8 1516
  MemPool 4096
  Max Stacks 8
  File handles=180
  show dots=on
  SPX ABORT TIMEOUT=2500
  SPX CONNECTIONS=150
  Link Driver NE2000
     ;Default settings for NE2000 driver
     ;Modify if you have a different setting or card
     INT #1 3
     PORT #1 300
     Frame Ethernet_II
     Frame Ethernet_802.3
     Protocol IPX 0 Ethernet_802.3
     Protocol TCPIP 8137 Ethernet_II
     .
     .
     .
  Protocol TCPIP
     ip_address  130.57.32.10
     ip_router  130.57.32.21
     ip_netmask  255.255.252.0
     .
     .
     .

5. Configure CSCON for TCP/IP by doing the following:

5a. From the CSCON Available Topics menu, select Configure Server
Description.
 
5b. From the Server Description window, move the cursor to TCP/IP at
the Protocol Stacks Supported parameter and press <Enter>.  A check
mark will appear beside TCP/IP.
     
5c. Save the change to the server description and exit from CSCON.
 
6. Use the File:Run option of the MS Windows Program Manager to
install NS/Router. 

7. After you have completed installing the NS/Router, use the
NS/Router Configurator to create a configuration description
appropriate for your AS/400 link.  
  - Novell recommends that you specify the server IP address when
  entering Link Information in the NS/Router Configurator window. 

  - However, you may instead: 
     a) Enter the server name under Link Information in Router
     Configuration and,
     b) Put the server's name and its Internal Address in the "Hosts"
     file.
      
NOTE: If you use the NS/Router Configurator File/Import feature and
you have an SDLC or QLLC link type, you may encounter an "Invalid
Entry in PCS File" error.  This is not a fatal error.  You may need to
manually enter the AS/400 System Information SystemName and UserID
required by the NS/Router Configurator.
