1 | Insert the NTRACE CD in the CD-ROM drive. Throughout the following instructions, "Z:" will be the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive. |
2 | Copy NTR.MSG to an appropriate location. Please see the File
Listing for more information on determining the correct location.
The most common installation would be: COPY Z:\MESSAGE\NTR.MSG X:\IBMCOM Where "X:" is the drive on which MPTS is installed. This assumes that MPTS is either installed on the boot drive OR that the LANTRAN.LOG file is being created in the X:\IBMCOM directory. |
3 | Start MPTS.EXE from an OS/2 window. |
4 | Push the CONFIGURE" button on the "Multi-Protocol Transport Services" dialog box.. |
5 | Select "LAN Adapters and Protocols" and then push the "CONFIGURE" button. |
6 | Under the Protocol section select "Other Protocols". |
7 | Enter X:\PROTOCOL where X: is the drive letter assigned to the Network Trace program CD. |
8 | Push the "OK" button. |
9 | At this time the Network Trace protocol is known to the MPTS. The "LAN Adapters and Protocols" screen is now displayed and "GCD Network Trace" has been added to the Protocols window. Both NTRACE.OS2 and NTRACE.NIF have been copied to the \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL directory. |
10 | Highlight "GCD Network Trace" in the Protocols window. |
11 | Highlight a LAN Adapter in the Current Configuration window. |
12 | Select the "Add" button in the Protocol section. |
13 | The "GCD Network Trace" protocol is now listed under the LAN adapter. |
14 | Several of the default parameters my be edited by highlighting "GCD Network Trace" in the Current Configuration window and pushing the "Edit" button. Pressing F1 provides a brief description of each parameter. |
15 | To exit from MPTS press the "OK" button. |
16 | Press "Close" on the "Configure" dialog box. |
17 | Press "Exit" on the "Multi-Protocol Transport Services" dialog box. |
18 | Press "Exit" on the "Update CONFIG.SYS" dialog box. |
19 | Use E.EXE or some other editor of your choice to review the CONFIG.SYS file to ensure NTRACE.OS2 is the last protocol loaded. This is assured if NTRACE.OS2 is the last line in CONFIG.SYS. A "quick and dirty" method for looking for conflicts, is to search on "\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL" with case sensitivity turned off. This will show you the most probable modules that are protocols. This is not foolpoof! |
20 | This completes the installation procedures. To activate these changes you must reboot the system. |
If the device driver is successfully loaded, the following output should be visible during the bootup of the machine:
The following may be displayed if the driver successfully loads, however LANMSGDD logging is not available (LANTRAN.LOG or FFST):
