PicLan-IP Installation
Native Hosts
In order to install PicLan-IP, you must have one of the following Pick
host systems (additional hosts will be supported in future releases):
-
AP/Pro 6.1
-
Mentor PRO 4.0
-
Mentor PRO 4.1
-
Sequoia PRO 2.4.x
On each system, you must have installed:
-
PicLan version 2.0.0.5 or later (2.0.0.13 or later for Sequoia PRO)
-
A supported PicLan Ethernet adapter
You must install PicLan before you install PicLan-IP.
You should test PicLan IPX connections before installing PicLan-IP.
Installing the PICLAN-IP Account
The PICLAN-IP account is installed in a manner very similar to the PIC-LAN
account. You follow these steps:
-
Download the PicLan-IP .ZIP file from the modsoft.com web site. Be sure
to download the version that matches your host system.
-
Follow the directions on the PicLan-IP
download page to create PicLan-IP installation diskettes.
-
Load the PICLAN-IP account onto your system:
-
For AP/Pro
-
Log to the 'dm' account.
-
Execute the following TCL commands:
SET-FLOPPY (HA
T-ATT
T-REW
T-LOAD MD (O
INSTALL
For Mentor PRO
-
Log to the 'SYSPROG' account.
-
Execute the following TCL commands:
T-SELECT 0
T-ATT
T-REW
T-LOAD MD (O
INSTALL
For Sequoia PRO
-
Log to the 'SYSPROG' account.
-
Execute the following TCL commands:
SET-FLOPPY (HA
T-ATT
T-REW
T-LOAD MD (O
INSTALL
The PicLan-IP INSTALL proc will execute. It will prompt you to continue.
The PICLAN-IP account will then be loaded. This is actually an account-restore
renaming the account from PLIP-1.0 to PICLAN-IP.
Once the PICLAN-IP account is loaded, you need to:
-
Execute UPDATE-PICLAN to update a number of items in the PIC-LAN account.
-
Re-boot your host system to load the new PicLan Ethernet drivers and PicLan-IP
TCP/IP stacks.
-
After booting your system, execute the PL-STAT command and verify that
your PicLan version number is now 2.0.0.100 or higher.
Next, you need to configure the PicLan-IP configuration
files. This process sets your IP network address and routing parameters.
If you have configured TCP/IP systems before, this should look very familiar.
If you have not configured TCP/IP systems before, you may need assistance
with this. After the PicLan-IP configuration files are configured, you
execute PLIP-INIT to actually initialize the PicLan-IP TCP/IP stack
as well as allocating additional system memory for TCP/IP connection tables
and buffers. At this point, you should be able to PING the Pick host system
from another system on the TCP/IP network. If you cannot PING the Pick
host, then something in your configuration is incorrect.
At this point the PicLan-IP TCP/IP stack is running and you can proceed
to configuring the PicLan-IP Web Server.
