PRODUCT COEXISTENCE CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following sections describe coexistence consider-
ations for workstations that run Sockets Gateway with
other products.
 
 
Considerations for Sockets Gateway and MPTS
 
This section describes coexistence considerations for
workstations that run both Sockets Gateway and IBM OS/2
LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) syslevel 2.60.2, or
earlier.  This level of LAPS shipped with LAN Server 4.0 MPTS.
 
NOTE:  You can verify the LAPS syslevel by referring to the
syslevel.trp file that is located in the \IBMCOM subdi-
rectory.  Issue SYSLEVEL at the OS/2 command prompt to
view the syslevel of LAPS.
 
1.  For AnyNet Sockets Gateway to coexist with LAPS syslevel
    2.60.2 in MPTS, do not enable the following MPTS
    configuration options in the MPTS "Configure" window:
 
    o   Socket/MPTS Transport Access
    o   Non-native Networking
 
2.  In addition, be aware of a potential conflict among
    device driver statements for workstations that run
    both AnyNet Sockets Gateway and LAPS syslevel 2.60.2 in
    MPTS.
 
    MPTS ships four device drivers (MPTN.SYS, LIPC.SYS,
    INET.SYS, and IFNDIS.SYS).  The following device driver
    statements are added to the CONFIG.SYS file:
 
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\MPTN.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\LIPC.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\INET.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
 
   When Sockets Gateway is installed, it comments out the
   four MPTS device driver statements and adds the following
   statements to CONFIG.SYS:
 
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\SOCKETS.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFINET.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFOS2.SYS
 
   When you run MPTS to configure an adapter, the four MPTS
   device statements that point to MPTN.SYS, LIPC.SYS,
   INET.SYS, and IFNDIS.SYS are reinstated in the CONFIG.SYS
   file.  This causes a conflict with the Sockets Gateway
   device driver statements.
 
   To avoid this conflict, manually update CONFIG.SYS and
   comment out the four MPTS statements.  Your CONFIG.SYS
   file should include the following statements:
 
       REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\MPTN.SYS
       REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\LIPC.SYS
       REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\INET.SYS
       REM *ANYNET* DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
 
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\SOCKETS.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFINET.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
       DEVICE=C:\MPTN\PROTOCOL\AFOS2.SYS
 
 
Considerations for Sockets Gateway and IBM TCP/IP for OS/2
 
This section describes coexistence considerations for
workstations that run both Sockets Gateway and IBM TCP/IP
for OS/2 Version 2.0, or earlier.  Be aware that you can
have a conflict among device driver statements.
 
IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 ships two device drivers (INET.SYS
and IFNDIS.SYS).  The following device driver statements
are added to the CONFIG.SYS file.
 
    DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\INET.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\IFNDIS.SYS
 
NOTE:  If you have already installed Sockets Gateway on
this workstation, you may see SNACKETS.SYS instead of
INET.SYS.
 
When Sockets Gateway is installed, it comments out these
two TCP/IP device driver statements and adds the fol-
lowing statements to CONFIG.SYS:
 
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\SOCKETS.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\AFINET.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\IFNDIS.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\TCPIP\BIN\AFOS2.SYS
 
When you run LAPS to configure an adapter, the two TCP/IP
device statements that point to INET.SYS and IFNDIS.SYS
are reinstated in the CONFIG.SYS file.  This causes a
conflict with the Sockets Gateway device driver state-
ments.
 
To avoid this conflict, do the following:
 
1.  Copy the device statements that point to AFINET.SYS,
    SOCKETS.SYS, AFOS2.SYS, and IFNDIS.SYS from the
    TCPIP\BIN\ subdirectory to the IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\ sub-
    directory.
 
2.  Edit the TCPIP.NIF file in the IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\ sub-
    directory.
 
    Original coding:
 
      {FILE}
      NAME = INET.SYS IFNDIS.SYS
      PATH = \IBMCOM
 
    Edited coding:
 
      {FILE}
      NAME = SOCKETS.SYS AFINET.SYS IFNDIS.SYS AFOS2.SYS
      PATH = \IBMCOM
 
 
Considerations for Sockets Gateway and LAN Server 4.0
 
This section describes coexistence considerations for
workstations that run both Sockets Gateway and LAN Server
4.0.
 
Sockets Gateway cannot coexist with the NetBIOS over
TCP/IP (TCPBEUI) and the TCP/IP over NetBIOS functions
that are shipped with Multi-Protocol Transport Services
(MPTS).  To run LAN Server/LAN Requester 4.0 with Sockets
Gateway, LAN Server/LAN Requester 4.0 must run over the
NetBIOS protocol.
 
If you have installed LAN Server/LAN Requester 4.0 and
Sockets Gateway on Warp Connect, you can fully utilize
the NetBIOS over TCP/IP function that shipped with MPTS
in Warp Connect.
 
 
Considerations for AnyNet Sockets and Sockets Gateway
 
Be aware that there are limitations with running both
AnyNet/2 Version 2.0.2 Sockets over SNA and AnyNet/2
Sockets over SNA Gateway Version 1.1.6 on the same work-
station.  If you are interested in running both products
on one workstation, contact IBM Support Services at
1-800-992-4777.
 
 
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
 
AnyNet/2 Sockets over SNA Gateway Version 1.1.6 is a com-
plete product refresh.
 
If you are installing Sockets Gateway Version 1.1.6 over
a prior version of Sockets Gateway and want to preserve
your AnyNet configuration information, you must install
Sockets Gateway Version 1.1.6 in the same directory as
your previous Sockets Gateway function.
 
If you do not need to preserve your configuration infor-
mation, you should delete the prior versions of Sockets
Gateway before installing Sockets Gateway Version 1.1.6.
 
1.  To delete your current Sockets Gateway functions
    using the Sockets Gateway Version 1.1.6 diskettes,
    insert Diskette 1 in the diskette drive and enter
    "a:\install" on the OS/2 command line.
 
2.  In the Installation and Maintenance menu that
    appears, select the "View" menu bar item, then select
    the "Installed Products" option.
 
3.  Select the product/function you wish to delete
 
4.  Select the "Action" menu bar item, then the "Delete"
    option.
 
5.  When the "Delete" action is complete, shut down and
    restart your system.
 
 
Considerations for Systems that Do Not Have a LAN Adapter Installed
 
When installing Sockets Gateway on a system that does not
have a LAN adapter installed, you will receive the error
message "Protocol Manager not installed" when the
IFNDIS.SYS file is added to the CONFIG.SYS file.
 
Ignore this message; Sockets Gateway successfully starts.
To avoid receiving this message, you can comment out the
DEVICE statement in the CONFIG.SYS file that points to
IFNDIS.SYS.
 
 
INSTALLING SOCKETS GATEWAY
 
To install the AnyNet/2 Sockets over SNA Gateway program
and product documentation:
 
1.  Insert Diskette 1 into your A: drive and enter
    "a:\install" on the OS/2 command line.
 
2.  When the install program starts, follow the
    instructions on the screen.  If you need help com-
    pleting any of the items on the panel, press F1 or
    the "Help" push button.
 
    During installation, the AnyNet configuration tool is
    opened.  You can configure Sockets Gateway during
    installation or exit the tool and configure the
    product after installation has finished.  If you need
    help completing any of the items on the configuration
    panels, press the F1 key or the "Help" push button.
 
 
SOCKETS GATEWAY DOCUMENTATION
 
o   Online Help:  Online help for installation and con-
    figuration is provided with the Sockets Gateway
    product.  For help on a field, press the F1 key or
    the "Help" push button.
 
o   Softcopy and Hardcopy Documentation
 
    You can access the softcopy and hardcopy documenta-
    tion in the following ways:
 
    -   View the softcopy documentation using the Library
        Reader provided in this package or BookManager
        Read.
 
        The install utility provides a copy of the
        Library Reader which can be used to view the doc-
        umentation.  If you already have a BookManager
        Read licensed program, you should not install the
        Library Reader.  Use the AnyNet installation
        program to install the BookManager book.  The
        installation program automatically identifies to
        BookManager the directories that contain the
        program documentation.
 
    -   Print the softcopy documentation.
 
        To print the BookManager documentation, use the
        following procedures:
 
        1.  Open the book to the Edition Notice.
 
        2.  Select the entire book as a marked area.
 
            a.  Place the cursor on the first character
                of the first word.
            b.  Press mouse button 1.
            c.  Go to the end of the last topic in the
                bibliography.
            d.  Press shift+mouse button 1.
 
        3.  Press Ctrl+P to print the book.
 
        The table of contents and index are not printed.
 
    -   Print the formatted PostScript documentation.
 
        You can print the formatted PostScript file on
        most PostScript printers.  If you are printing
        from OS/2 and have problems, try using the
        IBMNULL device driver.  This device driver is
        included as part of OS/2.
 
    -   Order a printed book through the IBM Marketing
        Center.
