	   F-PROT Professional for NetWare
		     Quick Start

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

To operate F-PROT Professional for NetWare, you will 
need an IBM-compatible server with a minimum of an 
80386 processor and 8 MB of RAM.      

The F-PROT NLM protects Novell(r) NetWare 3.1x and 
4.1x.  F-PROT Professional for NetWare runs indep-
endently of both the bindery and NDS.  The NLM 
requires approximately 160K of RAM plus 51K per 
buffer. 

The F-PROT Professional for NetWare Administration 
program is compatible with Windows versions 3.1, 
Windows 95 and Windows NT.

OVERVIEW 

F-PROT Professional for NetWare (FPN) provides 
protection against over 9,000 viruses.  After installation, 
all scanning, reporting and notification methods will be 
ready-to-go.  It is not necessary to make changes to the 
existing configurations.  If you leave the default settings, 
you will have a daily scan that occurs at midnight.  You 
will also have real-time protection active so that the 
server cannot become infected between scans.  If a virus 
is found, the file will be renamed and the results of scans 
will be recorded in the F-PROT log file.  The various 
options provided are for specific needs.  Check the "Help" 
files for details.  We suggest that you explore and test the 
program before making changes as the default 
settings are best for most situations.

There are load-time options that can be used when 
loading FPN. To view these options from a help screen 
type, "Load F-PROT help" at the system console prior to 
loading FPN.

FPN can be controlled either at the file server by console 
commands or by using the Windows program, F-PROT 
Professional for NetWare Administration. 

If you prefer using console commands a help screen is 
available at the server console by typing F-PROT 
[ENTER].  It lists the available commands. It may also be 
accessed remotely using RCONSOLE if REMOTE.NLM 
and RSPX.NLM are loaded.  However, a scheduled scan 
cannot be created with the console commands.  

If you prefer to work in Windows, use the FPN 
Administration program.  The Main Screen enables 
access to all menu selections and the ability to control the 
servers in your domain.  Additionally, there are screens 
that provide instant information pertaining to real-time 
scans and valuable server information.

The Task menu allows customizing of the ready-to-go 
real-time, manual and scheduled scans, and creation of 
new scanning tasks. 

The Deploy pull-down menu provides the ability to 
automatically propagate your settings to all servers in 
your domain.  It can also deploy updates for itself and the 
companion product for workstation protection, F-PROT 
for DOS and Windows, across an entire domain of 
NetWare servers. 

Each server running FPN maintains a separate log file 
called the F-PROT log.  This file records viral attacks, the 
action taken, and summaries of scheduled and manual 
scans.  There is a View menu in the FPN Administration 
program that allows you to see the F-PROT log. 

Notification, located in the Setup menu, provides 
multiple options for real-time alerting through access to 
AlertTrack Lite. 

The Advanced menu lets you create scan tasks and 
reporting templates to globally change new and /or 
existing tasks.  There are also menu selections for 
unloading FPN and reinitializing to its defaults.

INSTALLATION

This section guides you through the installation of    
F-PROT Professional for NetWare onto your NetWare 
server.  Installation can be accomplished either through 
Windows or at the file server console.  Please do not 
attempt simply to copy the files to the server.

Windows

Running Setup from Windows at a workstation allows
you to install the F-PROT.NLM to the server and the 
Windows program, F-PROT Professional for NetWare 
Administration, to the server or workstation. 

Insert disk #1 of the installation diskettes into floppy 
drive A: on a workstation. 

1.   From the workstation, log in to the server with an ID 
that has full rights to SYS:SYSTEM and to the 
directory where FPN Administration is to be placed. 
This allows the installation routine to create sub-
directories and copy files to the correct locations.

2.   Type:	A:\SETUP [ENTER] (or click OK)

3.   Setup will select a default installation drive by 
looking for a root or system directory containing 
NLM's.  You may choose any drive on the 
SYS:volume.  When you accept the selected drive, 
Setup will create an F-PROT sub-directory under the 
specified directory, and the F-PROT files will be 
copied to the new directory.  The F-PROT.NLM, 
VSENGINE.NLM, TTCONFIG.NLM and the            
F-DELAY.NLM will be placed in the specified 
directory.  Select "Continue" to install F-PROT 
Professional for NetWare or "Change drive" to select 
a different drive. 

4.   You must now go to the file server to load F-PROT. 
Simply type:    LOAD F-PROT

The first time you load FPN, the "Daily" scan will be 
created and then begin.  If you do not wish to run this 
scan, type the following load option:

	LOAD F-PROT NoDailyScan

This load option will work only if there is no INI file.  
When FPN is first loaded the INI file does not exist. 

Console Install

This procedure does not install the Windows program    
F-PROT Professional for NetWare Administration.

Insert diskette #2 of the F-PROT Professional for 
NetWare installation disks into drive A  on the file 
server: 

At the server console, type:

	LOAD A:SETUP [ENTER]

Note:  There are two parameters you can add when using 
this procedure. 

A.   If you do not want the install program to modify the 
server's AUTOEXEC.NCF file, then add a minus "A" 
at the end of the command. For example:

	LOAD A: SETUP -A [ENTER]

B.   By default, a daily scan will be created and run when 
you first install FPN.  If you do not want this scan to 
be created, then enter the following: 	

	LOAD A: SETUP -S [ENTER]

You can combine both the -A(utoexec) and the -S(can) 
when using the LOAD A:SETUP command.  For 
Example:  LOAD A: SETUP -S -A [ENTER]

When the installation has completed, you will see:

	"F-PROT Professional for NetWare has been 
	installed!"

Note: On NetWare 4.x servers, it is normal to see the following:

	"The F-PROT.NLM nlm has registered a file system	
		hook (x)"

You can toggle to the F-PROT screen from the server 
console using Alt + Esc. These screens can be used to 
monitor F-PROT Professional for NetWare's status.
