7 Using NT Recover: Client
7.1 Starting the Client
Before the host is directed to mount client drives, it is recommended
(although not necessary) that the client software be started on the client
machine. This means booting off of the boot floppy, and executing the client
program, CLIENT.COM, if the floppy is a DOS boot floppy. The client must be
told the selected communications parameters. Note that the baud rate on the
host and client must be identical. The serial port will be specific to each
computer, of course.
If desired, the client software can be started after the host tries to connect,
but it must be active before the host time-out period for the connection
attempt to succeed. If the connection fails due to a time-out, simply retry the
connect command from the host.
