For complete details, refer to the online help of the appropriate application. • TCP/IP support to the Novell SAA Server and the Microsoft SNA Server • Import support for IBM CA/400 and Wall Data configurations files ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Directory Structure and Files ----------------------------- The Router Setup program creates a default directory structure for all the files as indicated below.This is the default directory structure; your directory structure may vary depending upon the installation paths you have selected. C:\NSMIDRNG |---\MISC (contains all the *.LIB, global help, icon, | DOS batch and readme files) | |---\NSROUTER (contains all the NS/Router and NS/Router Configurator files)| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NetWare for SAA Physical Link Now Supports TCP/IP and Multiple Gateways ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The NetWare for SAA physical link now supports TLI and Winsock TCP/IP and multiple gateways. Refer to the extensive online help for information on how to configure the TCP/IP and multiple gateways. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translation Table File OPEN error --------------------------------- You may encounter the following error message when you attempt to open a router configuration file (.RTR) that was created in a version of NS/Router configurator earlier than 4.1 (which has support for multiple languages). "Translation table file OPEN error. File name: `d:\path\xxxxx\xxxxx.map' Load with internal translation table? where d\path is the drive and path where the product was installed and xxxx is the name of the file This is caused by the fact that versions before 4.1 used a type G default translation table. Because a default translation table was used, the "TranslateTable=" entry in the router configuration file under the [Workstation] heading was left blank or the specified Translation Table or path is no longer valid. In order to use an older router configuration file with NS/Router version 4.1, the TranslateTable= entry must now specify one of the several different translation tables that are available for use. To accomplish this, perform the following steps: 1. From the NS/Router Configurator main window, open the router configuration file that you want to use. 2. Click on the Preferences button. This will take you to the Preferences dialog box. 3. Select the Host\PC Code Page drop-down list box and click on the type of translation file you wish to use. You can use the default translation table (the first one listed) but you must still actually drop it down and click on it in order for the changes in the router configuration file to take effect. 4. Choose OK 5. Use the File:Save menu option to save the modified router configuration file. The error message should not re-occur. NOTE: If you created your own customized translation table called, for example, `mytable' and modified the TranslateTable= entry so that it read TranslateTable=[d:\path\]mytable, you should not receive any error messages and NS/Router will continue to use your customized translation table. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NS/Folders with NWSAA PTF SAA015.EXE ------------------------------------ If you have updated your Netware for SAA 13B with PTF SAA015.EXE, NS/Folders will not work. If this is the case, you will notice the following symptoms: If you have mapped shared folders drives and begin copying large binary files to and from them, NS/Folders will display 'File Not Found'. Windows will still show that the folders are mapped, when, in fact, they are not really there. You will eventually get a GPF. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Online Help References Additional Links --------------------------------------- Online Help references physical link types which are not supported in this release of the NS/Router. Version 5.10N supports only the physical links supported by the Netware for SAA Gateway. The additional link types may be obtained by contacting NetSoft directly. ============================================================================= End of README.TXT file for NS/Router =============================================================================
