Setting XNS to Use BAPI Interface on LAN Man Workstation (97822)

SUMMARY

Here is a procedure for connecting a LAN Manager workstation to a 3Com CS2100 communications server using the BAPI interface and XNS protocol.

Note: You must have XNSNB dated 2-10-92 or later.

1. Install XNSNB on the workstation.
2. Insert these parameters in the [xnsnb_xif] section of PROTOCOL.INI:

      COURIERLIBRARY=YES (Allows the courier interface to be loaded.)
      MAXPROCESSES=12    (Sets the machine's maximum number of processes.)
      NB_HBINT=60        (Sets the heartbeat interval with the locator. You
                          must have XNSNB dated 2-10-92 or later: other
                          versions cause the workstation to hang after 10-15
                          seconds.)
      MACIRQ=3           (Must equal the IRQ of the adapter card being used.
                          You must have XNSNB dated 2-10-92 or later for this
                          parameter to be recognized.)

3. Load XNSNB on the workstation and run the XNSBAPI program to load BAPI. Any communications software that is BAPI-aware should now be able to access the CS2100 communications server.
