Novell Confidential

Ensuring ConsoleOne Readiness

Novell ConsoleOne 1.3.6 or later must be installed on your system. In addition, the GroupWise
Administrator snap-ins for your version of GroupWise must be installed in ConsoleOne.

Ensuring Domain/MTA Availability

Make sure that the domain exists where you want to install the Async Gateway and that you are
familiar with the domain location and configuration.
Make sure a GroupWise Message Transfer Agent (MTA) is running for the domain where you plan
to install the Async Gateway. If the MTA is not running, required directory structure for the Async
Gateway cannot be built during installation.

Ensuring File System Access

You must have an account that has rights to the domain directory where you want to install the
gateway files. You need rights to create, erase, modify, scan files, and write in the domain
directory and subdirectories.

Preparing Ports for the NetWare Async Gateway

Some setup is required on the NetWare server before you install the NetWare Async Gateway.
Setting Up the Existing Serial Ports on the NetWare Server
If you want to use the existing serial ports on the NetWare server, you must load both the aio.nlm
and aiocomx.nlm port drivers. These NLM files are included with NetWare.
To load the port drivers:
1
2
Setting Up Two Modems
To run two modems from the NetWare Async Gateway:
1
"Setting Up the Existing Serial Ports on the NetWare Server" on page 27
"Setting Up Two Modems" on page 27
"Setting Up a Multiport Expansion Board on the NetWare Server" on page 28
At the NetWare server console, enter:
load aio
The full path to the NLM file is required unless you include it in the server's search path or it
resides in the sys:\system directory.
At the server console, enter:
load sys:\system\aiocomx load_parameters
This command initializes the port address 3f8 (COM1) and displays the board and port
number. For example, the first time you load AIOCOMX, the following message is displayed:
board 0 port 0
At the NetWare server console, enter:
load sys:\system\aiocomx load_parameters
