Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 User's Guide

Appendix D. LANAIDC Parameter Information

LANAIDC is the command line version of LANAID. It contains all the function of LANAID without the graphical user interface. Its primary intended users are LAN administrators and other users who want to duplicate a certain IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2 configuration on multiple computers.

The LANAIDC program is in the same directory on your hard drive where you installed LANAID (see Installing LANAID). Typing LANAIDC without parameters will cause LANAIDC to use a configuration file that is called LANAIDC.CFG to configure the PC Card. The graphical LANAID program creates this file after it successfully completes a PC Card configuration. See Using LANAIDC to Duplicate Configurations for more information about using the configuration file.

Type lanaidc /h to show the long help list for all the configuration parameters, and type lanaidc /? to show the short help list. Also, you can choose LANAIDC from the menu that is displayed when the computer is started from the Diagnostic and LANAIDC diskette. Using this method to configure the PC Card with LANAIDC is not recommended. Correct configuration depends on the computer that will be started in the environment under which the PC Card will run.

Using LANAIDC to Duplicate Configurations

In order to take a configuration that is performed by LANAID on one computer and duplicate it on others, follow these steps:

1. Start the computer in the same environment that the PC Card will use.
2. If LANAID is not in the computer, install it according to the instructions. See "LANAID".
3. Use LANAID to configure that computer for the PC Card, and exit LANAID. During configuration, LANAID creates a file called LANAIDC.CFG that contains all of the information required to re--create the same environment. The LANAIDC.CFG file will be in the same directory as LANAID.
4. Copy the following files to a diskette from the directory where LANAID was installed:

      LANAIDC.EXE
      LANAIDC.MSG
      DDPRINS.MSG
      INSTALL.LST
      LANAIDC.CFG
   

5. Place the diskette in the computer on which the PC Card configuration will duplicate. At this point, you can either copy the files to a directory on the hard disk, or you can run LANAIDC from the diskette. Running LANAIDC from the hard disk will allow LANAIDC to run more quickly.
6. Type lanaidc and press Enter, either from the diskette or the directory on the hard disk where the files were copied.
7. On completion, LANAIDC should display the PC Card configuration values.

LANAIDC Parameters

Listed here are the parameters LANAIDC uses to configure the PC Card. If you do not supply the options, the system will get input parameters from LANAIDC.CFG. After LANAID performs a successful store, it creates LANAIDC.CFG.
