Owner`s manual

In order to utilize the source routing and/or arbitrary MAC address-

ing features, the user must also update to the following products SI-

MULTANEOUSLY, if they exist in the network:

o PATHWORKS for VMS V4.1-1, at minimum

o DEC Token Ring Network Device Driver for OpenVMS V1.1 for the DEC

TRNcontroller 100

o OpenVMS VAX operating system V5.5, at minimum

o DECnet Phase IV Prime

o The Proteon[TM] bridging routers (CNX 500 and 4100+) software re-

lease 12.1, at minimum

o PATHWORKS for OS/2 Version 2.0B

Token Ring Coexistence with IBM PC LAN Support Program Support

PATHWORKS for DOS clients can coexist with the IBM PC LAN Support Pro-

gram, Version 1.2 and various Token Ring-based applications that rely

on the DLC interface. (The DLC is a driver utilized by the IBM PC LAN

Support Program.) For example, a PATHWORKS for DOS client can simul-

taneously:

o Use DECnet to access services and/or run applications from a PATH-

WORKS for VMS or OS/2 server

o Use IBM's NetBEUI to access services and/or run applications from

the IBM PC LAN Support Program server

File Services

Through the integration of Microsoft's LAN Manager, Version 2.0 with

DECnet as well as emulation of IBM's NETBIOS, the DOS client is pro-

vided with a remote DOS file system that appears as a transparent ex-

tension of the client's local facilities.

Optionally, file and print services can also be configured by combin-

ing Digital's Local Area Systems Transport (LAST) protocol with the

DECnet protocol. Performance improvements can be realized in some ap-

plications that transfer small packets (such as database applications)
