Siemens V4.0 manual Administrative Clients, Creating Installation Disk Sets

Installing Network and Administrative Client Software Administrative Clients

i

You must purchase a valid software license prior to installing Windows 95/98 or Windows for Workgroups on a computer. However, you can install Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS freely.

When creating network installation startup disks, you must choose from the network interface cards (NICs) supported by Microsoft Network Client, version 3.0 for MS-DOS. Regardless of the client software you are installing, the startup disk begins by starting Microsoft Network Client so that it can connect to the server. The network card and its settings are not automatically detected. You must select the correct NIC driver and configure it appropriately.

For more information on using Network Client Administrator to create network installation startup disks, see Network Client Administrator Help.

8.2.2 Creating Installation Disk Sets

You can create an installation disk set containing the actual installation files for the following clients:

●Microsoft Network Client, version 3.0 for MS-DOS

●Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.2c for MS-DOS

●Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups, version 3.11

Using the installation disk set, you can install the software manually on each computer. These files are included in the MSCLIENTS share. You can install this software on any client computer freely.

8.3 Administrative Clients

To administer Advanced Server from a Windows NT Workstation computer, you must install Windows NT Administrative Tools. To administer Advanced Server from a Windows 95/98 client computer, you must install Windows NT Server Tools.

Both program groups are in the Administrative Tools Package (asxtools or asxtoolsD), separately-installable software that is included with Advanced Server. It must be installed on the server before you can install client-based administrative software according to the instructions provided in this chapter. For information about installing the asxtools or asxtoolsD package, see chapter “Installing Advanced Server for UNIX” .
