5250 ADAPTER CARDS: HARDWARE INSTALLATION MANUAL

5.Utility Software

5.1Enabler Program

This program is primarily used for Windows 3.x applications. It will not work on PCI cards that are using memory above 1 MB. See the PCI card memory resources information found in Section 4.2.4.

The Enabler program is used to enable the Adapter. This program is run automatically by the Diagnostic and Adapter Handler software. It may also be called from the DOS command line in order to test your configuration.

In order for the Diagnostic and Adapter Handler programs to find the Enabler program, you must have the enabler environment string set to the appropriate directory. This is normally done in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The installation utility describes the changes to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

The enabler environment string form is:

SET ENB5250=<drive><path>

where <drive> and <path> specify the location of the 5250 Adapter Utility software. An example would be:

SET ENB5250=C:\5250CARD

To run the Enabler program from the DOS command line, type:

ENB5250<ENTER>

The Enabler program displays its title and version, card type, environment, the configured values, and enabled successfully message unless an error is detected. If an error occurs, the error message is displayed. The Enabler program then exits.

For systems running Windows 3.1:

The Windows enabler is automatically executed from the startup group if you have loaded the CEM5250.386 device driver during the installation process. Otherwise, you must run ENBSTART from the 5250CARD directory to enable the card.
