SMB File Server (G-series) and MLSRV (D-series)
Configuration
SMB File Server (G-series) and MLSRV (D-series)
Configuration
NBX only supports DOMAIN objects. This means that the following command must be
used for SMBCOM, on G-series systems, and MLSRVCOM, on D-series systems:
LAN DOMAIN $NBT.#DOM1
LAN ADAPTER and LAN POOL commands will not function with NBX.
The SMB File Server PARAM SMB^ZMRM^NAME must be used with NBX since the
SMB File Server must communicate with the resource manager built into NBX. For
example:
CLEAR ALL
PARAM SMB^ZMRM^NAME $NBX
SMB / NAME $SERV , IN CMDS /
where CMDS is an EDIT file containing SMB configuration commands.
The MLSRV PARAM MLSRV^ZMRM^NAME must be used with NBX since MLSRV
must communicate with the resource manager built into NBX. For example:
CLEAR ALL
PARAM MLSRV^ZMRM^NAME $NBX
MLSRV / NAME $SERV , IN CMDS /
where CMDS is an EDIT file containing MLSRV configuration commands.
Remote Node NetBIOS Configuration
The NetBIOS names are the only configuration items that must match between the local
and remote nodes. They are used by the application-level software and do not concern
NBX.
For example, when using Compaq PCT, Outside View, IXF, and RMPCCOM, the
machine name of the remote workstation is defined either by the RMPCCOM SET
MACHINE NAME command or by the network operating system through the REDIR
name command. RMPCCOM creates a NetBIOS name consisting of the machine name
followed by spaces and a lower case “d” for the 16th character. PCT uses a similar
name, but with upper case “L” for the 16th character.
When using the service feature with PCT, configure PCT for a static window, but instead
of a window name, use the service name. For example:
pct.ini WINDOW_NAME=\EAST.$LAN.#TACL
NBXCOM ADD WINDOW #W1,SERVICE TACL
Application TACL / IN $NBX.#W1 , OUT $NBX.#W1, ...
When using PCT, be sure that DEVICE_NAME=LANDRVR is used.
When using Compaq Outside View or similar 3rd party 6530 Terminal emulator on
Windows 95/98/NT, use the MULTILAN configuration screens on the terminal
emulator.
