AlphaNET Installation Guide, Revision 05
Once the software has been copied onto your hard disk drive, use the VERIFY command to make sure all
software transferred without error. Type:
VERIFY NET.DIR
RETURN
The VERIFY program will check each file and report any errors.
Installing the Product Installation Code
Under AMOS 2.3 and later, this procedure is not necessary. Beginning with AMOS 2.3, the
AlphaNET software is enabled when you enter the PIC for AMOS. There is no separate AlphaNET
PIC.
After copying the AlphaNET software onto your computer, you must code that software to run on your
specific computer. To do so, execute the NETINI program from AMOS command level. The first time
you do this you will be prompted for a Product Installation Code (PIC). The PIC is a unique identifier for
your system that must be obtained from your dealer.
Enter the following commands:
LOG SYS:
RETURN
NETINI
RETURN
When asked for the PIC, enter it carefully, verify you have entered it correctly, and press RETURN .
After a brief pause, you will be returned to AMOS command level and you can proceed with the
remainder of the installation. If you see the error message
?Improper SSD, verify you entered the
correct PIC by re-installing the software and trying again. If you still receive the same error message,
check with your Alpha Micro VAR to make sure the correct PIC was supplied for your system.
You must successfully complete this portion of the AlphaNET installation for any other portion to work.
Reviewing Your PIC
Once you have entered the PIC, if you need to review it, you can see your AlphaNET PIC by typing:
NETINI/P
RETURN
CREATING THE SYSNAM.DAT FILE
Log into DSK0:[1,4] (SYS:), and use AlphaVUE to create a file named SYSNAM.DAT. This file
contains only a single line of data
a name of up to thirty characters describing your computer. This
name is displayed in the status command NTSTAT, and by other commands, and helps other computers
on the network know who you are. For example:
