Using The LAN Support Program/IPX Shell
=======================================                       May 1993

You can use the LSP/IPX  shell  driver  to  interface  between  a  LAN 
Support  Program  (e.g.  SMART.EXE with LLC option) and an IPX program 
(e.g. Novell NetWare).

To  create the LSP/IPX shell driver (IPX.COM), use WSGEN (called SHGEN 
in the older versions of NetWare) to link the object code provided by 
Madge Networks (MDGSH.OBJ) with the object  code  provided  by  Novell 
(IPX.OBJ).   


Installing the LSP shell driver:
--------------------------------
        
1 Run  the  NetWare  WSGEN (SHGEN) utility and follow the instructions 
  for loading a LAN driver from floppy disk.

2 Insert your copy of the Madge LAN_DRV_465 disk into your floppy-disk 
  drive.  

   **** Note *********************************************************
   * If you are using the hard disk or  network  drive  installation *
   * method,  first  copy the MDGSH.LAN and MDGSH.OBJ files from the *
   * Madge LAN_DRV_465 disk into a subdirectory called  LAN_DRV_.465 * 
   * in your NETWARE subdirectory. Then proceed as follows:          *
   *******************************************************************
     
3  From the menu of LAN driver types select the  Madge Token Ring: LSP 
   Driver option.
  
4 The  WSGEN program creates a customized IPX.COM program. If you want 
  to distinguish this program from any other IPX  programs  you  have, 
  rename  this program. Copy this IPX.COM file and the 	NETX.COM file 
  onto your boot disk.

5 Run the SMARTLSP.BAT file that was  supplied  on  your  distribution 
  disk.  This  creates a SMARTLSP.EXE file. Follow the instructions in 
  Section 11.4 of the "Smart LAN Support Software Installation  Guide"
  or the instructions included in SMART.ZIP (available from this BBS).

6 Edit your CONFIG.SYS file by adding the following line:
	
  	DEVICE=SMARTLSP.EXE 
	
  This  provides the LLC interface required by the IPX.COM program. It 
  provides a NetBIOS interface as well unless you disable the  NetBIOS 
  interface using the NONETB option. For example:
  
	DEVICE=SMARTLSP.EXE NONETB

7 Add the following lines to your  AUTOEXEC.BAT file: 
	IPX
      	NETX

  *****Note**********************************************************
  * If  you  wish to use source routing, add the following lines to *
  *  your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:					    *
  *								    *
  *	IPX							    *
  *	ROUTE 							    *
  *	NETX							    *
  *******************************************************************

For more information about the SMART.EXE program, see  Chapter  11  of 
the "Smart LAN Support Software Installation Guide" or download the
SMART.ZIP file from this BBS.

To  configure  the drivers to use a locally-administered node address, 
run MCONFIG (Available from this BBS in MCONFIG.ZIP)  prior  to 
installing the driver with SHGEN (or WSGEN).
