Remote CAPI for NetWare comprises the following files: rbricapi.nlm CAPI.NLM for NetWare 3.1x, 4.x and 5 (CAPI 1.1) rbri2mgr.nlm CAPI Manager Replacement (CAPI 2.0 NLM) pinstall.nlm Netware installation program filedata.dat Netware installation file description file makedisk.bat Utility DOS batch file to create installation disk Note: The files pinstall.nlm, filedata.dat and makedisk.bat are only needed during the NetWare installation process. The CAPI Manager Driver (rbri2drv.nlm) is no longer part of this package. It was used in combination with the Novell CAPI Manager, which is no longer supported by Novell. 2. Installation 2.1 TCP/IP Installation Before installing the Remote CAPI for Netware you have to install TCP/IP support on your Novell server. Please refer to the Novell Documentation for instructions on how to do this. Test your TCP/IP connection by issuing the following command: load ping If the ping is unsuccessful please refer to the Novell Documentation for troubleshooting instructions. 2.2 Create Installation Disk Basically, the NLM files should be copied to the server's SYS:\SYSTEM directory. This process can be simplified by creating an installation disk with all necessary files, that can be installed using the standard NetWare installation program. Installation from Companion CD (using DOS): 1. Insert the BRICK Companion CD into your CD-ROM drive and a blank floppy disk into your disk drive. Start the "makedisk" batchfile from the netware directory on the CD. This batchfile will format the disk and copy the needed files from the CD. 2. Install the disk on the NetWare server using "load install" (NetWare 4) or "nwconfig" (Netware 5) Installation of "nlmfiles.zip" (i.e. from BinTec's web site): 1. Get the archive "nlmfiles.zip" from BinTec's web site (http://www.bintec.de/). You will find the file selecting Products / Download / , i.e. BRICK-XL / Remote CAPI for Novell Netware 2. Copy the contents of the archive "nlmfiles.zip" to an empty floppy disk. 3. Label the disk "RCAPI-1" using the DOS command "label a:RCAPI-1", or use the windows explorer to do so. This is necessary for the NetWare installation program to recognize the disk. 4. Install the disk on the NetWare server using "load install" (NetWare 4) or "nwconfig" (Netware 5) 2.3 Software/Driver Insert the installation disk created in step 2.2 into the disk drive and start the Novell installation program by issuing the following command: load install (NetWare 3, 4) load nwconfig (NetWare 5) Follow the steps for installing a new software product. After the NLMs have been copied you can modify your "autoexec.ncf" file so that the CAPI drivers are started automatically at each system boot. The different drivers are explained in section 3 below. Please substitute the descriptions in with the values appropriate for your BRICK. load rbricapi -i (CAPI 1.1 Driver) load rbri2mgr -i (CAPI 2.0 Driver; replaces NOVELL CAPIMANAGER) Note that there must be no space between the "-i" option, and the actual IP address, i.e. "load rbricapi -i192.168.1.1". The bri2mgr driver replaces the NOVELL CAPIMANAGER. You do not need any additional software for CAPI 2.0 support. Please make sure that NLMs which make use of CAPI are only loaded after the Remote CAPI drivers. To avoid trouble place the Remote CAPI driver entries directly after the entry which loads your TCP/IP protocol stack. 3. Description of the Drivers 3.1 RBRICAPI You can load the CAPI 1.1 driver from the command line as follows: load RBRICAPI -i -p -t The RBRICAPI NLM enables you to run CAPI 1.1 applications on your Novell network by utilizing the Remote CAPI feature of your BIANCA/BRICK. Parameters -p and -t can be used to specify the BRICK's CAPI port and trace level. Please refer to your BRICK's User's Guide. The parameters have to be supplied each time you load the NLM. 3.2 RBRI2MGR You can load the RBRI2MGR CAPI 2.0 driver from the command line as follows: load RBRI2MGR -i -p -t The RBRI2MGR NLM enables you to run CAPI 2.0 applications on your Novell network by utilizing the Remote CAPI feature of your BIANCA/BRICK. Parameters -p and -t can be used to specify the BRICK's CAPI port and trace level. Please refer to your BRICK's User's Guide. The parameters have to be supplied each time you load the NLM. _________________________________________________________________________ $Id: readme.txt,v 1.2 2000/09/18 09:36:21 heiner Exp $
