TITLE: Access Server V1.2 Rules of Thumb
DOCUMENT ID#: TD.S.R9
DATE: October 24, 1991
PRODUCT: Access Server
PRODUCT VERSION: 1.2
SUPERSEDES: NA but there are also Rules of Thumb for V1
NetWare Access Server is a powerful, practical, and cost effective way for
multiple remote users to access NetWare LANs. To aid you in configuring
Access Server for optimal reliability, performance, and ease of use, we
asked our engineers what components they would use if they were installing
the product, and to provide technical tips for users setting up an Access
Server system. This document lists what they said.
NetWare Access Server software is designed to run on a dedicated computer
using an 80386 or 80486 microprocessor. Once the memory and communications
interfaces are in place, an Access Server can simultaneously support up to
16 remote DOS sessions running in real (NOT protected) mode. The Access
Server must be equipped with a high-capacity (1.22MB 5.25" or 1.44MB 3.5")
disk drive (a hard disk is optional).
MEMORY
Access Server requires 1 MB of RAM plus an additional amount of memory for
each concurrent DOS session you expect to support. The recommended minimum
configuration is 2.6 MB of memory (enough to support a single user session
and an operator session without expanded memory).
To determine the amount of memory your specific Access Server configuration
requires, use the following formula:
1000 + (N x 800) + (S x E)
- N is the number of virtual DOS sessions to be supported
- S is the number of sessions needing expanded memory
- E is the expanded memory required for each of those sessions.
(The value for e must be the same for all sessions requiring expanded
memory. You cannot vary the expanded memory limit from session to
session.)
Access Server can use up to 16 MB of memory (this must be extended memory).
In addition, adequate address space must be available in the high memory
range, from 640 KB to 1024 KB, to support all necessary adapters (a LAN
adapter, a video adapter, and usually a remote communications adapter).
Consult your LAN adapter, video adapter, and remote communications adapter
documentation for memory requirements. See Appendix C of the "NetWare
Access Administration Guide" for information on avoiding conflicts in the
high memory range.
VIDEO ADAPTERS
Access Server requires a video adapter. MDA, CGA, EGA, VGA, HGC, and HIC
video standards are supported. The video adapter determines the range of
graphics applications that run on the Access Server. We recommend
installing a CGA card for optimal performance since the CGA standard is
widely supported and uses minimal session memory for operation.
The following table lists the available memory per session we obtained when
we installed various types of video adapters in combination with an NE2000
(nonmemory-mapped) LAN adapter and WNIM+ remote communications adapter in a
standard 80386 computer with 16 MB of memory.
ACCESS SERVER ADAPTER RAM AVAILABLE FOR EACH REMOTE SESSION
CGA Approximately 600 KB
MDA Approximately 567 KB
HGC Approximately 533 KB
EGA, VGA Approximately 470 KB *
* You can configure the Access Server to convert EGA and VGA to CGA
compatibility. In the above configuration, this conversion option
increased available memory by 76 KB, to 546 KB per session.
This increase varies with the specific adapter you install.
SUPPORTING GRAPHICS
Video adapters with graphics capabilities must be present in both the
Access Server and each remote workstation using graphics applications.
Graphics applications should be configured for the graphics mode installed
in the Access Server.
If the Access Server and the workstation have different types of video
adapters, configured for different graphics modes, Access Server will carry
out video mode translation and the workstation will display the application
using the lower grade graphics mode.
The MAXIMUM display quality supported for workstations through Access
Server is 640 x 480 resolution in 8-bit video mode.
GRAPHICS ON THE MACINTOSH
A Macintosh workstation running OnLAN/Mac supports MDA, CGA, EGA, and VGA
graphics.
VGA and MONOCHROME Monitors
If a VGA adapter is installed in an Access Server equipped with a
monochrome monitor, be sure to specify MVGA-Monochrome Video Graphics Array
for the Display adapter type field in the Hardware Configuration screen
when you run NASGEN.
MDA Video Mode
Workstations with non-graphic MDA type video adapters installed cannot
display applications that require CGA, MCGA, EGA, VGA, HGC, or HIC graphics
capabilities.
REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS ADAPTERS
If a workstation does not connect to the Access Server through a LAN, it
connects through a port on a remote communications adapter installed in the
Access Server. Remote communications adapters support connections via
direct cable, modem, multiplexer, NACS, and X.25 public data networks. We
recommend using a certified adapter.
NETWARE VERSION
Access Server v1.2 works with NetWare v2.10 through v2.2 and NetWare v3.10
through v3.11 (NetWare 3.0 users can upgrade to 3.10 or 3.11. NetWare 3.10
users must install a patch which is available with instructions in file
SCBFIX.ZIP in NetWire NOVA LIBRARY 7). When workstations use an AppleTalk
LAN to connect to a Access Server, a NetWare v3.11 file server is required
and it must be running NetWare for Macintosh as described in the NetWare
Access Administration Guide. Access Server does not support Named Pipes.
DOS Version
Access Server is designed to operate on an 80386 or 80486 PC running IBM
PC-DOS 3.x or 4.x only.
ACCESS SERVER CONNECTIONS
Remote users can be connected to an Access Server version 1.2 via:
-Modem
-MUX
-Null Modem Cable
-X.25 PDN Connection
-NetWare LAN Cabling
MODEM CONNECTIONS
Each user must have a modem that is compatible with the modem at the Access
Server host. For example, the modems at each end of a connection must use
the same speed and data communications processes. Access Server supports
asynchronous transmission speeds up to 38.4 Kbps using dial-up modems (such
as the Hayes Smartmodem) with features such as error correction, data
compression, and V.32 compatibility. We recommend using error correcting
modems.
MUX CONNECTIONS
Access Server supports multiplexers that provide RTS/CTS hardware flow
control. Access Server does not support multiplexers that use XOn/XOff
flow control (unless it can be turned off) or insert special characters in
the data stream.
Access Server operates with the Develcon Multiplexer using an X.25 PAD.
DIRECT CONNECTIONS
Workstations and ASCII terminals can be connected directly to the Access
Server through a properly wired RS-232 null modem cable (there are several
types of null modem cables available). The "NetWare Access Administration
Guide" shows the proper wiring for a direct connection cable.
REMOTE WORKSTATION REQUIREMENTS
The types of workstations that can connect to the Access Server are shown
below together with the software required by each workstation.

# IBM PC or a compatible computer.
1 Any computer that can emulate a terminal.
IBM PC Using OnLAN/PC
An IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or compatible computer can use OnLAN/PC v1.2 to
complete many types of Access Server connections. OnLAN/PC is provided
with NetWare Access and can be copied as many times as necessary for use
with the Access Server. The PC must have a disk drive that uses floppy
disks holding 720 KB or more; and it must have at least 350 KB of available
RAM. Remote PCs must also have a serial communications port.
While running OnLAN/PC, workstation users do not have direct access to the
workstation's disk drives. Users can transfer files between the LAN and
their disk drives, and they can exit to DOS.
Users of OnLAN/PC v1.0x can use the ONFILE file transfer utility to
download the v1.2 software. To avoid overwriting the active OnLAN/PC
program, users should download the new files to a directory that does not
contain the v1.0x OnLAN/PC files.
MACINTOSH COMPUTER USING ONLAN/MAC
An Apple Macintosh computer can use OnLAN/Mac software to complete many
types of Access Server connections. The Macintosh must have at least 512
KB of RAM and run System 6.0 or higher. While running OnLAN/Mac,
workstation users do not have direct access to the workstation disk drives.
Users can transfer files between the LAN and their disk drives, and they
can use MultiFinder to switch to the Finder or other applications.
Users of OnLAN/Mac v1.0x can use the ONFILEM file transfer utility to
download the v1.2 software. To avoid overwriting the active OnLAN/Mac
program, users should download the new files to a folder that does not
contain the v1.0x OnLAN/Mac files.
ASCII Terminal
Access Server is preconfigured to connect to 30 different types of ASCII
terminals. Supported terminals include the VT-100 and the IBM 3101.
Some terminal keys (such as the cursor and function keys) may not operate
after installation. The operation of these keys can be changed using the
the procedures in Chapter 12 of the "NetWare Access Administration Guide".
TERMINAL EMULATION ON A PERSONAL COMPUTER
Any computer should be able to use terminal emulation software to connect
to the Access Server. To transfer files between NetWare and the personal
computer, use a terminal emulator (such as Procomm+) that allows file
transfers, and set the protocol to XModem.
This section describes session features that operate independently of the
workstation hardware.
MOUSE SUPPORT
Access Server does not support mice or other pointing or digitizing
devices. OnLAN/Mac users, however, can perform limited cursor movement
functions with the mouse (all Macintosh functions, such as pull-down menus,
continue to operate).
EXECUTION SPEED
Access Server is designed for optimal performance. Only keyboard input and
screen output travel over the remote communication lines, allowing all
processing to take place on the Access Server host itself. Access Server
performance differs based on the following variables: Access Server host
processor speed, line speed, network traffic, and graphics applications.
A benchmark test was performed on a COMPAQ 386/33 with a 16-bit Ethernet
adapter running the Access Server software. One to 16 remote users
connected to this Access Server and ran typical business software
applications in text mode. The time required to complete the test was
recorded and compared to a single standalone 8MH IBM AT and a 4.77MH IBM
PC. When 1 or 2 users were connected processing speeds were MUCH better
than for the stand alone AT however, as more users were added performance
slowed proportionately until there a total of 10 users connected to the
Access Server and processing speeds became equivalent the AT. In all cases,
each session on the Access Server processed at speeds more than twice as
fast as an IBM PC.
Display Speed
Since Access Server display data travels over the connection lines, some
applications require more time to display at the remote workstation. Most
character-oriented applications show little performance degradation due to
the communications link; applications that depend heavily on graphics
suffer degradation in screen display time. For modem connections,
transmission speed can be improved by using high-speed modems (9600 bps and
above).
WORKSTATION PRINT OPTIONS
Workstations can connect to an Access Server and print to their remote
printer (attached to the workstation) or to printers on either LAN. To
select a printer while using the Access Server, workstation users must use
the NetWare CAPTURE and ENDCAP commands in the correct sequence. The
following paragraphs summarize the steps a Access Server user can take to
select a printer. NOTE: Printing can not be done on a printer attached to
the Access Server itself.
To select a remote printer from a remote workstation (Workstation 2 in the
example), connect to the Access Server and enter the ENDCAP command.
To select a remote printer from a LAN workstation (Workstation 1 in the
example), enter the ENDCAP command, start the OnLAN program (OnLAN/PC or
OnLAN/Mac), and connect to the Access Server; then enter the ENDCAP command
again.
To select a LAN printer from a workstation on the same LAN (Workstation 1
to Fileserver 1), enter the CAPTURE command (with the appropriate options),
connect to the Access Server, and then enter the ENDCAP command.
To select a printer on the Access Server LAN from a remote workstation
(Workstation 2 to Fileserver 2), connect to the Access Server and then
enter the CAPTURE command (with the appropriate options).
To select a LAN printer from a workstation on a different LAN (Workstation
1 to Fileserver 2 or Workstation 2 to Fileserver 1), connect to the Access
Server and then enter the CAPTURE command (with the appropriate options).
DISK DRIVE MAPPING
When a workstation logs into a Access Server and then logs into a NetWare
file server, the workstation drive mapping is determined by the Access
Server configuration (not the workstation disk drive configuration). If
the Access Server installation specified that users could not access the
physical disk drives, the user's network drives will begin at drive A. If
users can access the Access Server disk drives, the letter for the first
network drive is determined by the physical drives installed. If the Access
Server has three drives or less, the first network drive letter is F. When
four disk drives are installed, the first network drive letter is G.
ACCESSING IBM SNA MAINFRAMES
Remote users can access IBM mainframe information through a NetWare SNA
Gateway installed on the Access Server LAN or internetwork. With NetWare
3270 LAN Workstation software v1.3 installed on the LAN, up to 16 Access
Server users can access SNA gateways simultaneously.
Access Server supports Send-Receive file transfers and 3270 Model 2
emulation (using basic data stream only). OnLAN users should set the OnLAN
Special Keyboard Handler to level 1 or higher. (Note that the Access Server
administrator can prohibit user access to the Special Keyboard Handler in
NASGEN.) We recommend that you maintain only one 3270 display session per
user, for optimal performance.
Using the NetWare NETBIOS Emulator
Access Server is compatible with the NetWare NETBIOS emulator v3.02, which
is available on NetWire. The NETBIOS emulator must be loaded from
NASAUTO.BAT.
TOKEN RING DRIVER AND PREVIOUS NETWARE VERSIONS
If your version of NetWare is 2.2 or 3.11, no special measures are required
to install the Access Server on a token ring LAN. Prepare your
installation disk and run the Access installation program as described in
Chapters 6 and 7 of the NetWare Access Administration Guide.
However, if you are running any other version of NetWare, replace your
original STOKEN.OBJ and IPX.OBJ files with special versions of these files
(from the NetWare Access Utility diskette) as follows:
1. If you have not already done so, make copies of your SHGEN disk(s) and
label the copies Access SHGEN-1 and, if applicable, Access SHGEN-2.
2. Make a copy of your LAN_DRV_001 diskette and label the copy Access
LAN_DRV_001.
3. Delete the STOKEN.OBJ file currently on your Access LAN_DRV_001 disk.
4. Copy the TRN.OBJ file from your Access Utility diskette to your Access
LAN_DRV_001 disk.
5. Rename TRN.OBJ on the Access LAN_DRV_001 diskette to STOKEN.OBJ.
6. If you have not already done so, locate the original IPX.OBJ file
currently on your SHGEN-1 or SHGEN-2 disk.
7. If you have not already done so, replace the original IPX.OBJ file with
the special IPX.OBJ file from your Access Utility disk (see Chapter 6 of
the NetWare Access Administration Guide).
8. Run the SHGEN program on the NetWare Access SHGEN diskette to generate
an Access Server-compatible IPX.COM file.
9. When running SHGEN, use the Access LAN_DRV_001 diskette in place of the
original LAN_DRV_001 diskette. When the "Available LAN Drivers" menu
appears, select IBM Token Ring v2.50.
10. Complete the SHGEN program and continue your software installation
preparation (see Chapters 6 and 7 of the "NetWare Access Administration
Guide").
TOKEN RING DRIVER AND WNIM+ ADAPTERS
If you have a token ring driver and the WNIM+ remote communications adapter
installed, change the WNIM+ adapter's software memory address from default
CA00h to CE00h when you run NASGEN (see Chapter 7 of the NetWare Access
Administration Guide). NASGEN automatically reconfigures the token ring
driver's memory address range to start at C800h, which would overlap and
conflict with the WNIM+ adapter's default software memory address.
TOKEN RING SOURCE ROUTING
To support token ring source routing for your Access Server sessions, edit
your NASAUTO.BAT file (in the ACCESS directory) to load ROUTER.COM after
loading IPX.COM.

LAN ADAPTERS
Access Server connects to the local network through a LAN adapter. For

*7 Maximize TPA memory when using this application. Refer to the Access
Server Administration Guide for tips on maximizing available session
memory.
*8 When starting the program, use the -C option on the command line.
*9 Windows 3.0 and some programs that run under Windows must be loaded
in real mode (not protected mode). This reduces Windows capability
*10 Do not use in 43- or 50-line mode.
