3-2 CHAPTER 3: USING THE AUTOLINK FEATURE FOR NETWARE

■Modiﬁes the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and NET.CFG ﬁles. (The previous versions of these ﬁles are renamed CONFIG.3CM, AUTOEXEC.3CM, and NET.3CM.)

If you want to conﬁgure the adapter manually, see Chapter 4, “Standard Installation and Conﬁguration.”

AutoLink Requirements

Verify that you meet the following requirements in addition to those stated in the Introduction.

■The 3C689 adapter must be installed in your computer and connected to the network.

■NetWare on the server must be version 2.2 or higher.

■You must have an account on the target NetWare server, with an assigned user ID and password, or you will not be able to log in to the server after running the AutoLink program.

■You must have a minimum of 2 megabytes of free memory on your hard disk drive.

AutoLink Options

■A 3Install account on the server allows the AutoLink program to download the NetWare client software from the server instead of from the TokenDisk diskette. This feature can be used to install newer versions of the software or to customize your installation.

Installation instructions for creating the 3Install account and preparing the server can be found in the A:\QINSTALL\SERVER\README.TXT ﬁle on the TokenDisk diskette.

■An AUTOLINK.CFG ﬁle can be used to control the AutoLink process. The AUTOLINK.CFG ﬁle in the TokenDisk diskette’s root directory contains default settings and descriptions of the control parameters.
