WordPerfect Telephone Server (5/15/94) README.ALL

Install Help:

     This procedure installs the necessary files for the WP TAS
Gateway.  The Install from path is the floppy disk drive you are
using to install the Telephone Access Server, usually A: or B:. The
Install to paths are the locations for the Administration files and
the Server files.

     The Administration files include the files for the Gateway-
Specific Setup (ADMIN), and are installed in a network sub-
directory whose path usually resembles:

              network-drive:\domain\WPGATE\gateway-sub-directory

     ADMIN expects this be a sub-directory of WPGATE, which must be
sub-directory of the DOMAIN database.  If this directory does not
exist, you will be prompted to create it.

     The Telephone files include the files for the application, and
are usually installed on the server's hard drive whose path usually
resembles:

                          local-drive:\sub-directory

     If this directory does not exist, you will be prompted to
create it.

     There is a README file installed in the server directory.  It
contains changes or hints to help you with the installation and
operation of the Telephone Server.

     After successful installation, run ADMIN to install and
configure the telephone gateway.


Command line Summary:

     SPEECH /gw=gateway_path [/d=temp_path] [/work=work_path]
             [/log=log_path]

                                      or  
     
     SPEECH /ph=gateway_path [/d=temp_path] [/work=work_path]
             [/log=log_path]

     /gw     Path to domain or gateway path.  This is usually the
             same as the ADMIN install path.  Required

                                       or

     /ph     Path to domain or gateway path.  This is usually the
             same as the ADMIN install path.  Required

     /d      Temporary path/directory.  The voice server creates
             temporary files in this directory.  The default is the
             current directory.  Optional

     /log    LogFile path/directory. The voice server creates its
             logfiles in this directory. The default is:
             domain\WPGATE\gateway-sub-directory\000.prc\log.
             Optional

     /work   Work directory.  The voice server accesses the phone
             database in this directory.  This is required for slave
             TAS systems and must be the same as the /gw or /ph of
             the master TAS (see Notes #3).  The default is the /gw
             or /ph directory.


Notes:

1.   A sample batch file to run the server is in run.cmd.
2.   A program called NWPROBE is available on CompuServe.  It can
     automatically re-attach to server after a connection is
     restored.
3.   More than one server can be slaved by having directory
     synchronization on at the master and off on the slaves.  The
     PHONE database are on the network and shared among the phone
     servers.  Use the /work= switch to specify the "gateway path"
     of the master TAS (/work=MASTER_TAS_GATEWAY_SUB_DIR). Since
     these files are accessed by both the Gateway setup and TAS,
     they must be in the master TAS's gateway directory. This switch
     can not be used on the master TAS to relocate the files.
4.   Log/Activity files are created in the gateway sub-directory
     000.PRC/LOG and are named WP_TEL.N, (where N is a number from
     1 to 9).  The gateway cycles through the numbers, deleting the
     oldest one.
5.   Some changes may be needed to CONFIG.SYS.  You may want to
     increase the memory available for disk caching from the default
     of 512K to 2M.
6.   Some changes may be needed to the network configuration.  The
     defaults for maximum number of attached servers may not be
     large enough. Some broadcasts from the network can hang the
     system until a key is pressed.
7.   The Phone server can create large (2M+) temporary files.  The
     /d= switch can place these in a separate directory. 
8.   You may want to delete temporary files on system start-up.  The
     extensions are .CTN and .TMP.
9.   The phone message we're having technical difficulties is due
     to an inability to access the user's database.  This can
     indicate (1) a network problem (no connection to the server or
     insufficient privileges), (2) the path/UNC name is invalid, or
     (3) the account/post office is locked by the administrator.
10.  You may want to limit the recording time. At the current
     recording rate of 8000 bytes/sec, Audio messages are
     approximately 1 megabyte for 2 minutes.

11.  If TAS is run on the same machine as other SYMMETRY servers
     (ADS, OFS, etc), TAS may share the DLL's with other compatable
     SYMMETRY products/releases. TAS expects the DLL's to be in the
     current directory or in LIBPATH setup in CONFIG.SYS
