Instructions for DGNCMCFG.NLM [Version 1.00] 1.0 Introduction This document covers the use of the configuration utility, DGNCMCFG.NLM. This utility allows you to Configure the Digi Netware BRI NCM driver, DGNCMDRV.NLM, Load/Reload it and execute the Digi NCM Driver Status Utility, DGNCMSTS.CFG. DGNCMCFG creates a configuration file, DGNCMDRV. CFG which is referenced by the driver. To use the program, at the system console, type "load dgncmcfg" and press the key. You will see the DGNCMCFG Main Menu which presents you with three options : * View/Modify Driver Configuration * Load Driver Status Utility * Load/Reload Driver 2.0 View/Modify Driver Configuration Highlight this option and press if you wish to view or change the driver's current configuration. You will then see a menu box labeled "Configured Boards" with a list of the currently configured boards. If there are no boards configured you will see an entry stating "". Press to add a new board or highlight a board from the list and press or to configure or delete it. If you select a board from the list or add a new board, you will see the "Board Options" form displaying a configuration. If you are adding a board, this will be a default configuration that must be modified to match the actual hardware configuration of your board. Use the arrow keys to move up and down throughout the form, highlighting the options you wish to change. The "Board Options" form is divided into two main areas, Board Configuration and Line Configuration. 2.1 Board Configuration This area of the form allows you to specify hardware configuration parameters for the board. These parameters are as follows : 2.1.1 Board Name - This parameter assigns a name to the board and will be used at the system level to reference it. A valid name consists of the following characters : A-Z, 0-9, '_' and '-'. 2.1.2 Board Type - This parameter indicates the type of board you have installed. Pressing when this parameter is highlighted will pop up a list of board types that you may choose from. Use the arrow keys to highlight the board type that is installed in the server and press . This will change the board type displayed on the "Board Options" form. 2.1.3 I/O Address - This parameter indicates the board's I/O port address. If the default address does not match the address of the installed board, highlight the I/O Port Address and press to pop up a list of valid I/O Port Addresses. Select the address that matches the board's configuration. 2.1.4 Memory Address - DataFire adapters do not require this parameter. 2.1.5 Hardware IRQ - DataFire adapters do not require this parameter. 2.2 Line Configuration This section of the "Board Options" form provides an overview of the number of lines supported by the particular board type you have installed and each line's configuration. If the board is a DataFire, you will see one line. If the board is a DataFire/4, you will see four lines. The line configuration consists of Line#, switch type, and two addresses. The term "Line" refers to one ISDN phone line, consisting of two B channels and one D channel. To modify the line configuration, use the arrow keys to highlight the desired line and press . This will bring up the "Line Options" form from which you can change each parameter. 2.2.1 Switch Type : This is the type of ISDN switch to which your line is connected. You will need to ask your provider for this information. Highlight this parameter and press to view a list of supported switch types. To select the switch type that matches your configuration from this list, highlight the appropriate selection and press . Below is a list of the supported switch types : * ATT * ATT/TM * NI1 (National ISDN 1) * NTI (Northern Telecom / DMS100) * NET (Euro ISDN / ETSI) * 1TR6 * INS64 * Definity * Definity/TM 2.2.2 End Points : These parameters are the addresses (phone numbers) assigned to you by your provider for each End Point. To set these, highlight the End Point of your choice and press . You will see an "End Point Options" form with the following parameters : 2.2.2.1 Address: This is the phone number assigned to you by your provider. Highlight this parameter and enter the address. This MUST be specified. 2.2.2.2 Sub-Address: This is the sub-address assigned to you by your provider, if any. Normally one is not assigned and you may leave this field blank. Highlight this parameter and enter the address. 2.2.2.3 SPID: This is the SPID assigned to the End Point by your provider. Highlight this parameter and enter the SPID. Not all switch type require this parameter. 2.3 Saving the Configuration The changes you've made must be saved in order for the driver to support them. There are two different times when you'll be prompted to save changes; when you return to the "Board Options" form after making line changes and when you return to the "Configured Boards" list after completing your board changes. The prompt you'll see after making line changes is a courtesy prompt to let you return to the original line settings if you wish. Answering "Yes" to this prompt does not save your changes to the configuration file but does retain them as part of the current changes. The prompt you'll see upon exiting the "Board Options" form is the prompt that determines if the board's configuration will be saved. If you answer "Yes" to this prompt, your changes will be saved to the configur- ation file and your original configuration will be saved to DGNCMDRV.BAK. If you answer "No" to this prompt, your original board configuration will remain unchanged regardless of wether you "saved" new line configurations. 2.4 Initiating the new Configuration In order for your new configuration to take effect you must load or reload the driver, unload the WHSMCAPI.LAN driver and issue a "reinitialize system" command. You may do this manually from the console command prompt or you may have it done for you after you exit the "Configured Boards" list. At that time, you'll be asked to "Initiate New Configuration?". If you answer "Yes", the driver will be loaded or reloaded and, if loaded, the WHSCAPI.LAN driver will be unloaded. You will also be prompted to "Issue the reinitialize sys- tem command?". If you have other changes that you're making with INETCFG, answer "No" to this prompt and finish making your changes. When those changes are done, issue the "reinitialize system" command from the console command line or INETCFG. 3.0 Load Driver Status Utility This menu selection lets you load the status utility, DGNCMSTS.NLM instead of manually typing "load dgncmsts" at the console prompt. 4.0 Load/Reload Driver This menu selection lets you load or reload the driver, DGNCMDRV.NLM, unload WHSMCAPI.LAN, if loaded, and issue a "reinitialize system" command. You will see the same prompts as you do when exiting the "View/Modify Driver Configuration" selection.
