Access Integration Services Software User's Guide Version 3.3

Preface

This manual contains the information that you will need to use the router user interface for configuration and operation of the Access Integration Services base code installed on your 2212. With the help of this manual, you should be able to perform the following processes and operations:

This manual is the first volume of the software library for the 2212, which is described in "Library Overview". A specific 2212 might not support all of the features and functions described within the library. If a feature or function is device-specific, that restriction is indicated in the relevant manual.

This manual refers to the 2212 as either "the router" or "the device". The examples in the library represent the configuration of a 2212, but the actual output you see may vary. Use the examples as a guideline to what you might see while configuring your device.

Who Should Read This Manual

This manual is intended for persons who install and manage computer networks. Although experience with computer networking hardware and software is helpful, you do not need programming experience to use the protocol software.

To get additional information: Changes may be made to the documentation after the books are printed. If additional information is available or if changes are required after the books have been printed, the changes will be in a file (named README) on diskette 1 of the configuration program diskettes. You can view the file with an ASCII text editor.

About the Software

IBM Access Integration Services is the software that supports the IBM 2212 (licensed program number 5639-F73). This software has these components:

Conventions Used in This Manual

The following conventions are used in this manual to show command syntax and program responses:

  1. The abbreviated form of a command is underlined as shown in the following example: 
    reload

    In this example, you can enter either the whole command (reload) or its abbreviation (rel).

  2. Keyword choices for a parameter are enclosed in brackets and separated by the word or. For example: 
      command [keyword1 or keyword2]

    Choose one of the keywords as a value for the parameter.

  3. Three periods following an option mean that you enter additional data (for example, a variable) after the option. For example: 
    time host ...

    In this example, you enter the IP address of the host in place of the periods, as explained in the description of the command.

  4. In information displayed in response to a command, defaults for an option are enclosed in brackets immediately following the option. For example: 
    Media (UTP/STP) [UTP]

    In this example, the media defaults to UTP unless you specify STP.

  5. Keyboard key combinations are indicated in text in the following ways:

    The key combination Ctrl - indicates that you should press the Ctrl key and the hyphen simultaneously. In certain circumstances, this key combination changes the command line prompt.

  6. Names of keyboard keys are indicated like this: Enter

  7. Variables (that is, names used to represent data that you define) are denoted by italics. For example: 
    File Name: filename.ext
