This file contains information that did not make it into the ACS
manual set.
1) Installing ACS on NetWare V3.11
2) Setting LAN-ROVER card ethernet addresses
3) Differences between printing on Amiga and IBM PC
4) ACS Utility differences
5) Modifications to Login
========================================================================
INSTALLING ON NETWARE V3.11
========================================================================
There is an additional step required in order for ACS to work with
Novell Netware V3.11. It is required that all volumes on any file
server to be accessed have the MacIntosh name space added. This is
accomplished by typing at the fileserver console:
:
ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME [
VNAME
]
Where
VNAME
is the name of the volume to add the name space to.
Each volume on the file server must have this step performed on it.
For instance, if you had a file server with three volumes, named SYS,
WORK, and PLAY you would have to type:
:ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME SYS
:ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME WORK
:ADD NAME SPACE MACINTOSH TO VOLUME PLAY
After the name space has been added it will be added permanently
and will not have to be added again. The only other thing that must be
added is a line in the
STARTUP.NCF
file. This is accomplished by
entering the
INSTALL
console utility and going to SYSTEM OPTIONS,
selecting edit
STARTUP.NCF
and adding the following:
LOAD MAC
After these changes have been made to the
STARTUP.NCF
file you
must save the changes by hitting ESC then RETURN. Once these steps
have been performed you will be able to start up your Amigas and log
into a file server.
========================================================================
SETTING ADDRESSES ON LAN-ROVER ETHERNET CARDS
========================================================================
The LAN-ROVER Ethernet card from ASDG does not have unique address
ROM's on the card. As a result the ethernet address is not stored on
the card. The only way to set the address is to modify the device
drivers tooltype ADDRESS to reflect the address intended for that
ethernet node.
To modify the tooltype under AmigaDOS 2.0, open the
EXPANSION
drawer through Workbench. Look for the icon
ASDGEnet
and select it by
clicking on the icon. Once selected pull down the
ICONS
menu to the
INFORMATION...
option. You should then see a list of tooltypes. The
default address should be FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:F0. Change this address since
each workstation requires a unique address. After changing the
tooltype select
SAVE
.
Re-boot your Amiga and everything should work marvelous.
========================================================================
PRINTING ON THE AMIGA: Differences between PC/AMIGA
========================================================================
One of the major differences in text file format between PC's and
the AMIGA is the fact that PC's break lines with two control characters
instead of just one. PC's use the sequence CR/LF while Amigas use only
the LF character. One manifestation of this problem is either getting
lines that are double spaced when printed on the Amiga or lines that
flow diagonally down the page.
For Hewlett-Packard Laserjets this can be eliminated by sending a
escape sequence that converts LF -> CR/LF during printing. The escape
sequence is
ESC&k3G
. This will convert either CR or LF into a CR+LF
sequence.

Modifications to Login v1.4b
========================================================================
Login has been modified slightly to include a new option from the
CLI. This option is -p which will disable loading the preferences upon
logging in. To enable this option when loading login from the workbench
add the GETPREFS tooltype, setting it equal to FALSE.
GETPREFS=FALSE [NOTE: Must be entered in UPPER CASE]
