1.
Load the TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) part of the
Client program. This is done by issuing this command:
ncsi
Once the NCSI software is loaded, your screen will display
a message similar to the one shown below, which includes
the version of NCSI and the sub-network version.
Network Communications Services Interface (NCSI) Ver: 1.22.02 05-12-96

Sub-Network Version ELS
The NCSI TSR has several command line options that affect
the way the program is loaded. The default configuration
of NCSI loads with no command line options and is capable
of 9 simultaneous NETServer connections from a single
workstation. It also loads the built-in Command
Interpreter. Since very few applications would require this
many connections, or need the Command Interpreter, you
can disable these features with the options below.
Option Description
-C
This disables the integrated Command
Interpreter if not needed.
-Vn
This sets the number of (n) simultaneous
virtual circuits that NCSI will support.
Note
: Some applications will require the use of
more than one virtual circuit.
-W
This enables Microsoft Windows functions
from within NCSI and permits it to load in
various Windows configurations.
-D
This permits dynamic socket allocation for IPX
clients. This option allows multiple instances
of NCSI to be loaded simultaneously.
For example, using these command line options, the
command to load NCSI without the Command Interpreter
and only one virtual circuit would look like this:
ncsi -c -v1
To obtain help on available NCSI command line options
from the DOS prompt, type: ncsi -h or ncsi -?.
