Appendix D. LANAIDC Parameter Information

LANAIDC is the command line version of LANAID. It contains all of 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 LANAID was installed (see Installing LANAID). Typing LANAIDC without parameters will cause LANAIDC to use a configuration file called LANAIDC.CFG to configure the PC Card. This file is created by the graphical LANAID program 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 booted from the Diagnostic and LANAIDC diskette. Using this method to configure the PC Card with LANAIDC is not recommended, however, since correct configuration depends on the computer being booted in the environment under which the PC Card will run.

Using LANAIDC to Duplicate Configurations

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

1. Boot the computer in the same environment that the PC Card will use.

2. If LANAID has not yet been installed, 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 recreate the same environment. The LANAIDC.CFG file will have been placed 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 is to be duplicated. At this point, you can either copy the files to a directory on the hard disk, which will allow LANAIDC to run more quickly, or you can run LANAIDC from the diskette.

6. Type lanaidc and press Enter, either from the diskette or the directory on the hard disk where the files were copied.

7. Upon completion, LANAIDC should display the PC Card configuration values.

LANAIDC Parameters

The parameters LANAIDC uses to configure the PC Card are listed here. If no options are given, LANAIDC.CFG will be used for input parameters. LANAIDC.CFG is created by LANAID after a successful store has been performed.
