AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #TB-0343 11/19/87
AST-5250/GATEWAY INSTALLATION
This technical bulletin is written as a guide for installation
of the AST-5250/Gateway.
I. THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE RUNNING GATEWAY EMULATION:
A. On the master gateway bring up emulation for all the
sessions that will be used on the gateway. Perform this
by defining the sessions under STATION as regular
displays, not GATEWAY displays, in the CFG5251 program
and running KERNEL and APS without GATE5251. This will
verify that those sessions are available and correctly
configured on the host.
B. Ensure the network (NETBIOS) is running.
II. SETTING UP THE GATEWAY:
A. Master Gateway: CFG5251 program configuration
1. Type "CFG5251"
2. Answer YES to Master Gateway question.
3. Define sessions to be used by the master as DISPLAYS
or PRINTERS under the STATION option.
4. Define sessions to be distributed on the network as
GATEWAY DISPLAYS or GATEWAY PRINTERS.
Give unique SESSION NAMES for each GATEWAY session
that will be on the network. Make a note of these
names and their corresponding sessions numbers.
5. If more than one gateway is being used, define a
unique NETWORK NAME in the GATEWAY option. If only
one gateway will be used leave the NETWORK NAME
blank.
6. SAVE configurations and QUIT.
7. In DOS type "KERNEL, GATE5251" and then "APS". These
commands could also be put in a batch file.
B. Slave Gateway: CFG5251G program configuration
1. Type "CFG5251G"
2. Answer NO to all initial questions.
3. Define all sessions to be used by this slave PC as
DISPLAYS or PRINTERS under the STATION option.
a. Ensure the session numbers and corresponding
SESSION NAMES match the master gateway
definitions, the name is case dependent.
b. If several gateways are being used make sure
the GATEWAY NAME matches the NETWORK NAME of
the desired master gateway.
4. SAVE configurations and QUIT.
5. In DOS type "KERNELGW" and then "APS". These
commands could also be put in a batch file.
