ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE UniLink (Write UP*Plus)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility Statement:
UniLink Write Up*Plus v6.1 accounting package has been tested as compatible
with LANtastic 4.x. This bulletin has been designed to help with the
installation and setup of this product.
Product Overview:
The Unilink family of Accounting modules have been designed for both the
accounting professional and the single business user. Modules interact and
include time and billing, general ledger, after-the-fact and active payroll,
accounts payable and receivable, interest calculations and bank account check
writing and reconciliation.
Installing UniLink Write Up*Plus:
The machine on which Write Up*Plus will be installed must be configured as
a LANtastic network server, and will be referred to as the UniLink server.
The UniLink server and all workstations must use the same network drive
letter to access the UniLink software and accounting information. By way
of example, for this bulletin, the UniLink system will be installed on
hard drive C: and the LANtastic network drive will be designated as network
drive U:. At the UniLink server:
Net Login \\<UniLink Server> <Username> <Password>
Net Use U: \\<UniLink Server>\C-DRIVE
Insert UniLink software disk #1 in the floppy drive and from the floppy
prompt type
INSTALL n
Be sure to designate the target drive as U: and respond "Yes" to the
Network Drive prompt. Follow the remaining prompts as explained in the
UniLink Installation Guide. The installation procedure will not ask for
network type.
Configuration:
After successful installation, perform the following steps at the UniLink
server:
Cd \UL60
Attrib +R *.*
Attrib -R *.DAT
Attrib -R *.PRD
Start the UniLink accounting software and define the system users and
optional module privileges following the steps outlined in the UniLink
System Administrator's Guide. It is recommended that DOS Share be loaded.
Access to UniLink from a LANtastic workstation:
To use the Unilink system from a LANtastic workstation, perform the following
steps:
Net Login \\<UniLink Server> <Username> <Password>
Net Use U: \\<UniLink Server>\C-DRIVE\UL60
U:
UL
Security:
Security may become an issue when sharing data among multiple users on a
network. Following the UniLink System Administrator's Guide, four levels of
security can be implemented, from relaxed to extremely restrictive.
Multi-User Limitations:
System Administrator - It is recommended that only one System Administrator
change the system configuration or security at a time. It is possible that
if concurrent modifications are being made, some changes may be lost.
UniLink Client - Only one user may be entering data in a UniLink accounting
client at a time. Additional users attempting to access a currently selected
client will be locked out with the error message "PR file cannot be opened,
Press any key".
Report Printing:
Before starting the UniLink package, issue the NET USE command through the
operating system to establish a printer connection and inform UniLink
(through the System Configuration Menu) which redirected port to send
output to. For example:
Net Use LPT1 \\<Printer Server>\@PRINTER
