ACCESS SERVER February 27, 1991 As PTF 243 is a very long download this information is provided to help you decide wether or not you need it. APPLIES TO: Access Server Version 1.01 SUPERSEDES: PTF 209, PTF 202, PTF 225, and PTF 238 NOTICE: These files do not constitute the entire product and are to be used only in conjunction with authorized purchased versions of the product. The product is Copyrighted under law and is not shareware. PROBLEM DESCRIPTIONS: From PTF 202 1. Data is lost when printing to a remote printer or spool file. 2. Dialback does not terminate a session when a connection is not made. 3. During modem initialization on a port configured for Auto Modem, a user supplied supplementary command string following the Modem Initialization String is ignored by the modem. 4. Screen updates do not occur at the remote workstation if the Access Server is busy. This occurs when the application writes to the screen buffer. From PTF 209 5. When booting the Access Server either from a hard drive or a floppy disk, it fails to boot and displays either "Exception 13" or "Exception 15" error message. 6. Expanded Memory Manager applications acquire all the available memory, limiting the number of available access server sessions. From PTF 225 7. Problems displaying the "view document" feature of Word Perfect. 8. Problems transferring files with ONFILE when not specifying a destination address. 9. Some dumb terminals were not able to print properly. From PTF 238 10. Some modems were occasionally not resetting immediately to Auto Answer after disconnecting. Access Server nevertheless showed the port as in call waiting status although the modems had not actually been initialized. 11. The control codes for some printers were being printed. NEWLY COVERED BY THIS PTF 12. After the installation of PTF 238 some modems disappeared from the list. RESOLUTION: 1,2,3 & 4. Installation of this PTF (or PTFs 202 or 209) will correct. 5. These errors are caused by BIOS problems related to the NetWare shell. To correct this problem recreate the shell generation (SHGEN) program using the IPX.OBJ provided with this PTF. 6. Expanded Memory Manager applications now acquire only 400K of expanded memory. 7. & 8. Installation of this PTF will correct. 9. Software flow control is implemented (for printers only). 10. NASCP.EXE was changed to correct the problem. 11. ONLAN.EXE and ONLANLAP.EXE were changed to correct the problem. 12. NASCP.EXE and NASGEN.EXE were modified to allow space for the missing modem they will again be available as choices. ADDITIONAL MODEMS SUPPORTED New Modem Strings have been added to ONLAN.CNF and NASMODEM.CNF adding support for: Codex 2234 Codex 2264 Hayes Smartmodem 9600 v.32 Hayes V-Series 2400 Intel 9600 ex Microcom QX/4232 HS NEC DSP 9630 NEC N9631 Penril Alliance v.32 Practical Peripherals 2400sa MNP US Robotics Courier 2400e & 9600 Ven-Tel 9600 plus/9600 plus II TO USE THE PTF 1. Make a copy of your master diskette of Access Server Version 1.01. 2. Copy ONLAN (or ONLANLAP) onto each remote workstation. 3. Copy all of the files of this PTF (other than ONLAN and ONLANLAP) onto the copy you made of the master diskette. 5. Erase everything from the Access Server's drive so that nothing will remain from prior Access Server installations. 6. Do a "first time installation". 7. After completing installation but before bringing the Access Server up, modify the RAM disk size by: A. Copying LOGIN.EXE file from diskette to File Server, LOGIN directory. B. Changing "/P7" to "/P9" - For a hard drive Access Server on the ram drive line of CONFIG.SYS - For a floppy drive Access Server on the second ram drive line of CONFIG.SYS NOTE: Step 7 is very important. Failure to perform this step will result in the error message "UNABLE TO LOAD LOGIN.EXE". If this error message is received despite increasing to /P9 increase to /P10 or /P11. MAPPING NOTICE: MAPROOT is not currently supported by Access Server. Therefore, if your system uses MAPROOT you will not get the results you expect.
