abstract

This files contains ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.1, which allows Macintoshes to communicate in a source routing environment. This updates the 3.0 release and adds support for non-IBM Token Ring LAN cards, while continuing to support the IBM Token Ring LAN cards. This NLM was also modified to allow IBM PCs/Compatibles running the Farallon PhoneNet Talk software, on a Token Ring network, to communicate properly with the NetWare v3.11 server.

installation

 (a) Copy ATTOKLLC.NLM to SYS:\SYSTEM.
 
(b) If ATTOKLLC is installed on the server already:
 
     At the CONSOLE prompt, enter the following commands:

     UNBIND ATTOKLLC from <name>, where <name> is the
     name of the TOKEN.LAN driver loaded with a
     frame type of TOKEN-RING.

     UNLOAD ATTOKLLC
 
      LOAD ATTOKLLC
        
      BIND ATTOKLLC to <name>, where <name> is the
      name of the TOKEN.LAN driver loaded with a
      frame type of TOKEN-RING.
    

   Otherwise, add the following lines to AUTOEXEC.NCF:

      LOAD ATTOKLLC

      BIND ATTOKLLC to <name>, where <name> is the
      name of the TOKEN.LAN driver loaded with a
      frame type of TOKEN-RING.

      DOWN and Re-boot the server, or type in the above
      commands at the CONSOLE prompt.

issue

ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.1

The ATTOKLLC.NLM is needed in a source routing environment when either an Apple Internet Router or Apple TokenTalk 16/4 interface card is used on the network. This NLM will respond to the 802.2 LLC Test Poll frames that are sent by the Apple products. The ATTOKLLC NLM registers a Source and Destination SAP of AA (Snap) and a command of F3 (Test Poll) with the LSL so that the proper response (Test Poll Final) can be returned to the sending node.

A previous version, ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.0, that shipped with NetWare for
Macintosh v3.0, 3.01, and 3.011, would only support the IBM Token Ring adapter. This new version, ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.1, supports the IBM adapters as well as other third party Token Ring adapters.

Additionally, Version 3.1 ATTOKLLC was created to register an additional frame type with the LSL, an SSAP of AA, DSAP of 00, and command F3. The modification was necessary to allow IBM PCs/Compatibles running the Farallon PhoneNet Talk software, on a Token Ring network, to communicate properly with the NetWare v3.11 server.
