5.11.4 OnNet-Kernel for TCP/IP of ftp
5.11.4.1 General
When NCS is to be used in conjunction with TCP/IP it is necessary to install a TCP/IP-Kernel. The
kernel provides the basic functions of an operating system. The kernel has network functions as well
as certain tools required for network operations.
A kernel is available from ftp. The OnNet-Kernel also provides the TCP/IP-Kernel that supports the
TCP/IP-Stack.
The TCP-Kernel of the OnNet-Kernel has been implemented as a virtual device (VxD). This
contains all the network functions required for DOS and for Windows.
The kernel uses the memory management functions of Windows.
A memory resident MS-DOS based version of the TCP/IP-stack is also available. This provides
TCP/IP network functions for DOS as well as Windows. The installation of this driver will not be
described here.
The following passages show the installation of the TCP/IP-Stacks supplied by ftp for Win 3.x and
Win 95.
5.11.4.2 System requirements
• 386 Processor with 4MB
• At least 5MB free space on the hard disk
• Win 3.x or Win 95 operating system
• Network adapter with driver software
Some computer systems may not operate properly in conjunction with the ftp
kernel under Windows 95 and return errors.
In this case you must please use the TCP/IP kernel provided by Microsoft
(see chapter 5.11.5)
5.11.4.3 Checks before installation of the OnNet-Kernel
• The system requirements must be satisfied.
• Please check that the CP1413 TCP/IP-adapter is installed in your PC.
• Before the OnNet-Kernel is installed, the driver for the network adapter must be installed.
• Enter the data required for the installation into the table below.
