PicLan-IP Installation
Universe/NT

Installing the PICLAN-IP Account

Beginning with release 2.0.0.121 of PicLan-IP, the installation method has been changed.  Previously, PicLan-IP was distributed as a virtual tape file that was created with the Universe Backup utility.  Beginning with 2.0.0.121, PicLan-IP is being distributed as a 32-bit PkZip archive of the c:\uv\PICLAN-IP directory structure.  This should allow you to restore this account to destination locations more easily than the Universe archive.

If you are loading PicLan-IP version prior to 2.0.0.121, you can still follow the old instructions:

The PicLan-IP software is distributed as a compresses archive (ZIP) file. When you uncompress this file, you will find that it contains a single Universe/NT virtual tape file called PLIPUVNT.TAP.

The PLIPUVNT.TAP file is restored using the restore utility within UVADMIN.  When restoring this file select:

• Restore Options: Selected Windows NT Directories
• Directory: c:\uv\piclan-ip
If you would like to restore the PICLAN-IP account to a different location, you can specify this in the UVRestore program.

Once the d:\uv\piclan-ip (or whatever you have named it) directory is restored, you should create a Universe account to point to this named PICLAN-IP.  You do this with the Universe account administration function within UVADMIN.

Configuring the PicLan-IP Software

• In Windows Network Setup:
• Set the IP address for your network adapters to the desired addresses for the web server.
• If you need virtual hosting, then you should enter multiple IP addresses for each virtual host.
• In the PLIP.CTRL CONFIG item:
• Set the DLL PATH= parameter to point to the directory that contains PLIP.DLL file.  This is usually C:\UV\PICLAN-IP\PLIP.BP\NAT.OBJ (the PicLan-IP DLL and other NT executables are contained within a type '1' file in the PICLAN-IP account).
• Only the first IP address field is used.
• Default gateway and route table information is not used.
• In the WWW.CTRL CFG item:
• If you use an asterisk '*' for an IP address, then the first IP address in the PLIP.CTRL CONFIG file will be used, even if that address is not valid for this machine.

• PicLan-IP configuration files
• PicLan-IP Web Server.
