APP Server utility
APP Server installation and setup
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 C-9
The APPSRVDS.EXE DOS utility does not require an IP stack or IP
address, but it does require an ODI driver.
The command line for APPSRVDS.EXE must be positioned after the line
invoking the network ODI driver and before the network protocol stack
(TCP/IP or IPX or other supported protocol). For example:
C:\NOVELL\LSL.COM
C:\NOVELL\XXXODI.COM
C:\ASCEND\APPSRVDS.EXE
REM Protocol Stack is loaded next
5
Close AUTOEXEC.BAT.
6
Reboot.
There are several options you can use in the AUTOEXEC.BAT command-line:
• /t — specifies a time delay between connection attempts (sec)
• /y — specifies the number of cycle counts (attempts to connect) before
timeout
• /m — specifies the MAC address (in decimal) of the PC running the utility
• /p — specifies a UDP port number for communicating with the Pipeline
• /b — specifies a UDP port for broadcast message
• /f — suppresses the call at startup
• /d — disconnects the call
• /c — specifies the name of the Connection profile to use to connect to the
remote secure network
• /? — displays a help screen
Note:
The PC sends a broadcast UDP packet that has the destination and the
source port 7001 unless you specify otherwise with the /p or /b options. If you
specify a number other than 7001 in the APP Port parameter, you must use one of
these options to specify the same port.
If no command-line variables are specified, the APP Server utility uses the
following default values:
• Time delay between connection attempts = 20 seconds
• Number of cycles is set to 3 (3 times 20 seconds)
• APP Server PC MAC address = none (zeros)
