Copying to UNIX

YSTEM OFTWARE
The LANplex software for a UNIX-based hard disk is distributed on four
floppy diskettes. Diskettes #1, #2, and #3 contain the LANplex software.
Diskette #4 contains the SNMP MIBs.
The SNMP MIBs, on diskette #4, are provided so that you can compile on 3rd
party applications.
To copy software to a UNIX hard disk, follow the instructions below:
If the directory "/usr/lp6000" does not exist on your computer, create the
directory before proceeding. If your "/usr" directory is full, you can use a
different directory. In this case, substitute the actual directory used for
"/usr" in this and subsequent examples.
1 Insert diskette #1 containing the LANplex software file into a disk drive
(these instructions assume drive rfd0).
2 Extract the first part of the LANplex software file using the following
commands:
cd /usr/lp6000
tar xvf /dev/rfd0
3 Remove diskette #1 using the following command:
# eject
4 Insert diskette #2 containing the LANplex software file into a disk drive and
extract the second part of the file using the following command:
tar xvf /dev/rfd0
5 Remove diskette #2 using the following command:
# eject
6 Insert diskette #3 containing the LANplex software file into a disk drive and
extract the second part of the file using the following command:
tar xvf /dev/rfd0
7 Remove diskette #3 using the following command:
# eject
