You must install the DLC protocol on your server machine before you configure the Microsoft SNA Server software.
This procedure assumes that you have installed the SNA Server. If you have not already done this, install this software before proceeding.
Note: If the program cannot find the DLC Protocol files on your workstation, it will ask you to insert the Windows NT CD. Make sure you have this CD on hand during this procedure.
When the installation is finished, the program will ask you to reboot the system. If this is a production machine, you may want to schedule this task for a maintenance period or for off-peak hours.
To install the DLC protocol:
- In the Windows Control Panel, select
Network.
- In the Network Settings dialog box, select the
Protocols tab (4.0 only) and click
Add
or
Add Software.
- Select
DLC Protocol
from the network settings list and click
Continue or
OK.
- Complete the installation process as directed by the instructions on the screen.
- After you reboot, make a backup copy of your current SNA configuration (optional) and then configure SNA Server Version 2.11 or SNA Server Version 3.0.
Note: Micro Focus provides a sample configuration file,
xdb_novl.sna, for you to examine and use as a guide. This file is located in your XDB application directory. It defines an Ethernet connection to a network node.
