Configuring the Driver

Use these procedures to configure the RealPort AIO driver for Novell NetWare. 

Before you can load the AIO driver for the first time, you must configure it to match the PortServer hardware you have installed on your network. 

• Configuration Restrictions
• Running the Configuration Utility
• Adding PortServers
• Removing PortServers
• Saving the Configuration

Configuration Restrictions

• The RealPort TCP port must be set to 771. Do not use another value.
• This driver does not support configuration of Hunt Groups.

Running the Configuration Utility

Use this procedure to run the Digi configuration utility (aiopscfg).

Procedure

1. Unload the RealPort driver (AIOPSDRV.NLM) by entering the following command at the server console:

   unload aiopsdrv 

   Note: This step is not necessary if you are configuring the driver for the first time. However, after loading the driver for the first time you must unload it before you perform any subsequent configuration updates.

2. Run the configuration utility by entering the following command:

   load aiopscfg

   The first time you run the configuration utility, no configuration file will be present, and the configuration program will indicate that no PortServers are present.

Adding PortServers

Use this procedure to add a PortServer to the configuration. The RealPort driver supports up to sixteen PortServers.

Procedure

1. Run the configuration utility as described above.
2. Choose Add PortServer and then press <Enter>.
3. When prompted for the name of the PortServer, enter the DNS name assigned during PortServer configuration. Check the PortServer configuration for the assigned DNS name and IP address.
4. When you complete the configuration, save it (see Saving the Configuration, below).

Removing PortServers

Use this procedure to remove a PortServer from the configuration.

Procedure

1. Unload the RealPort driver, then run the configuration utility as described above.
2. Choose Delete PortServer and press <Enter>. A new pointer will appear next to the first PortServer in the configuration box. 
3. Position the pointer next to the PortServer you wish to delete and press <Enter>. The PortServer will be removed from the configuration. 
4. When you complete the configuration, save it (see Saving the Configuration, below).

Saving the Configuration

Use this procedure to save the configuration.

Procedure

1. When you have completed the RealPort driver configuration, either use the arrow keys to position the pointer next to Exit, and press <Enter>, or simply press <Esc>. 
2. When asked if you wish to quit, press <Y> (yes). If you have modified the configuration you will now be asked if you wish to save the configuration. Press <Y> again.
