The ETU Compatibility Diskette: For Non-ES32 Emulation Products
When ETU was originally sold, there was a compatibility disk that shipped with the product to allow DOS products to run with it. Very few PC run in DOS mode anymore, so that is no longer included with this product, however it is available on our website at http://www.nlynx.com/html/tb- etu36.htm. To use this program, called IBMTRAN, you would install it on the IBM PC from which you run ETU. Each time you run ETU, you would load IBMTRAN into the PC's memory.
Who Could Use IBMTRAN?
You may need to use IBMTRAN if your emulation software is not one of the following Andrew products: 3XTwin, 3XPlus,
NOTE: IBMTRAN runs only under DOS and isn't intended for use with Windows, OS/2, UNIX, or the Apple Mac.
Some emulation products, such as protocol converters, have their own ETU interface programs. If your emulation package includes a program specified as an interface to ETU, you should use that program instead of
IBMTRAN.EXE.
If you attempt an ETU file transfer and you receive one of the following messages, you may need to use IBMTRAN:
Device not a PC or emulator loaded incorrectly.
Attached workstation is not a PC.
Copying IBMTRAN To Your Hard Drive
If you decide you need the compatibility program, copy it from the ETU Compatibility diskette (enclosed with ETU) to the hard disk subdirectory (or, if applicable, to the floppy diskette) that contains the emulation programs.
1.On your PC, make the directory with your emulation programs the current directory.
2.Insert the IBMTRAN diskette in the diskette drive, and copy it to the hard drive.
If your floppy drive is a:, enter:
copy a:*.*
Some emulation programs have a separate Application Program Interface (API) program. If your emulator is in this category, make sure that API is running after you load your emulation program and before you run ETU, or it will not be compatible with ETU.
If your emulation program is running, and IBMTRAN displays the message
