Software Installation for Novell Systems

Introduction

Before software installation can proceed:

∙The EPC/X adapters must be installed in the computer.

∙The T1 Modem Banks must be connected to the EPC/X host adapters.

∙The T1 Modem Banks must be powered on.

∙The T1 Modem Bank node numbers must be set.

∙A T1 line must be connected to the T1 connector on the line card of each T1 Modem Bank.

The driver will support up to four Digi EPC/X host adapters on ISA, EISA and PCI bus servers.

T1 Modem Banks and concentrators may be connected locally (direct wiring), or remotely (via high-speed synchronous modems). This driver supports one modem pair per synchronous line, and the modems must be installed between the host adapter and the first device (concentrator or T1 Modem Bank) in the daisy chain. Local and remote concentrators/T1 Modem Banks may not be combined on a single synchronous line.

Software installation for a Novell system which is directly connected to the T1 Modem Banks involves the following steps:

1.The EPC/X Novell NetWare AIO (Asynchronous Input/Output) device driver must be installed and configured.

2.An AIO application like NetWare Connect, FaxServe, or Wanderlink should be installed on the system to which the T1 Modem Banks are directly connected.

3.SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) must be configured if you wish to manage the T1 Modem Banks remotely with the management software (“QuickManager”).

4.If you wish to remotely manage the T1 Modem Banks, install QuickManager on an NT system on your network.

QuickManager does not currently support SNMP under Windows 95. Therefore, you can not manage a Novell system from a Windows 95 system.

5.Each T1 Modem Bank must be configured using DGT1CFG.NLM, QuickManager or the serial port.
