{  Windows Version of STAT Utility
{  ===============================
       
       The program WINSTAT.EXE provides a Windows(R) interface to the STAT
       program.

{  Using STAT and WINSTAT to View the MIB Variables
{  ================================================
       
       The STAT and WINSTAT programs let you access the MIB variables from
       your PC. It lets you query the status of basic system elements,
       such as connections to foreign hosts. The MIB variables become
       "activated" and the STAT and WINSTAT programs are available as soon
       as you load the appropriate device driver and TCP/IP kernel.

       STAT gives you access to ten groups of statistics. These statistics
       can be used to identify problems with the following basic system
       elements:
 
              o Local network hardware interface
              
              o IP, ARP, TCP, routing, and other network functions
              
              o Foreign hosts
 
      WINSTAT gives you access to eight groups of statistics:
 
             Interface    QInfo      IP      ICMP
             TCP          TCPConn    UDP     UDPConn

       Here are some guidelines regarding the use of STAT and WINSTAT:

              o Use STAT from the command prompt in DOS.
              
              o Use WINSTAT from within Windows.

{    Using WINSTAT to View the MIB Variables
{    ---------------------------------------

       Use WINSTAT from within Windows (3.0 or 3.1). WINSTAT presents MIB
       statistics about each of the MIB groups. To view MIB statistics,
       follow this procedure:

           1. Make sure the program WINSTAT.EXE is visible as an icon in
              a Program Group. (Refer to the Microsoft Windows User
              Guide for more information.)

           2. Double-click on the WINSTAT icon. The WINSTAT main menu
              screen appears. It shows the username of the PC in the top
              text field, the official hostname of the PC in the second
              text field and the IP address in the next text field. The
              physical address of the card in the PC appears in the last
              text field.

           3. To display one of the groups listed at the bottom of the
              WINSTAT main menu screen, click the button corresponding to
              the group.

{  Using On-screen Function Keys
{  =============================
       
       You can select function keys from an on-screen template during
       VT340 and TN3270 emulation sessions, and send their corresponding
       codes to the remote host or application.

       LANtastic for TCP/IP provides two methods for sending special
       function keycodes to the remote host:
           
           o Press a key on your keyboard which corresponds to a special
             function key on your electronic template.  To determine what
             keys or key combinations on your keyboard correspond to what
             keys on the real terminal keyboard, refer to your LANtastic
             for TCP/IP manual.
       
       OR
           
           o Use the on-screen special function keys.  Instead of pressing
             the equivalent key for a special function key on the real
             terminal, you can click on the special function key on the
             electronic template.  To display the electronic template of
             special function keys for the emulator you are using, do the
             following:

             1. While in a terminal session window, hold down the right
                mouse button.  A template appears, showing the available
                special function keys for the emulator you are using.

             2. While holding down the right mouse button, move the cursor
                to the function key whose code you want to send to the
                remote host.  Then release the mouse button.  The code for
                that terminal function is sent to the remote host.

{  Customizing Your Keyboard
{  =========================

       You can specify individual keyboard-mapping files for terminal
       sessions. This lets you use different keyboard layouts for
       different terminal sessions.

       LANtastic for TCP/IP currently provides default terminal keyboard
       mapping files for two terminal emulators:

           o DEC-VT Series
           
           o TN3270

       When you select "New Terminal Session" from the "File" menu, the
       "New Terminal Session" dialog box appears.

       At the bottom of the "New Terminal Session" dialog box is a
       "Keyboard mapping..." button.  Next to the button is the default
       terminal keyboard-mapping file used for the emulator you selected.
       For example, if you are using the VT series emulator with a PC
       Enhanced keyboard, the default mapping file used is VT_ENH.KBD.

       To specify a different keyboard-mapping file to be used with your
       terminal session, follow the procedure in "Specifying a Keyboard-
       Mapping File" given later in this section.

{    Viewing the Default Terminal Keyboard-Mapping Files
{    ---------------------------------------------------

           1. Open the "Keyboard Remapper" application by clicking on its
              icon.
             
           2. Select "Open" from the "File" menu.
             
           3. Select one of the files with a .KBD extension. For example,
              the default filenames for an AT-Enhanced keyboard are:

                vt_enh.kbd
                tn_enh.kbd

              The keyboard template for the emulator you selected appears.

       {Note...}     The PC-XT, PC-AT, and PC-AT Enhanced keyboards are
                   supported.

       Because the functions of the keys may vary depending on what
       application you are running, you may want to remap some of the
       keys.  If you want to create remapped keyboard files, use the
       Keyboard Remapper application.

{    Specifying a Keyboard-Mapping File
{    ----------------------------------
       
       If you want to use a customized keyboard-mapping file with a
       terminal session, you must first use the Keyboard Remapper to
       create a remapped terminal keyboard file.  After you have created a
       customized terminal keyboard-mapping file, you can use it for a
       terminal session instead of the default mapping file provided. To
       use a customized keyboard-mapping file, complete the following
       steps.

           1. Select "New Terminal Session" from the "File" menu.  The
              "New Terminal Session" dialog box appears.

           2. The default terminal keyboard file is displayed to the right
              of the "Keyboard mapping..." button.  For example, if you
              are using the VT series emulator with a PC-Enhanced
              keyboard, the default keyboard-mapping file provided with
              LANtastic for TCP/IP is VT_ENH.KBD.

           3. To specify a different remapping file, click on the
              "Keyboard mapping..." button.  A list of terminal
              keyboard-mapping files appears.

           4. Select the terminal keyboard-mapping file that you want to
              use for that particular terminal session.  If necessary,
              display the non-default directory in which the
              keyboard-mapping files have been stored.  If you decide that
              you want to use the default mapping file, click on "Cancel"
              to return to the "New Terminal Session" dialog box.

       {Note...}     Terminal keyboard-mapping files must have a ".KBD"
                   extension; otherwise, they will not appear in the
                   "Keyboard mapping..." selection list.

       If you make any changes to a keyboard-mapping file specified for a
       particular terminal session while the session is still open, you
       must close the terminal session and reopen it for the changes to
       take effect.

{  Setting Up an International Keyboard
{  ====================================

       If you are using the National Replacement Character (NRC) set,
       configure Windows to use the appropriate driver for the
       international keyboard you want to use, then specify the
       appropriate terminal keyboard file.

       {Note...}     You can use the NRC set with the VT-series emulator
                   only.  For TN3270 terminal sessions, only the US code
                   page is supported. Make sure that the remote VM host
                   also supports the US code page.  To use foreign
                   keyboard remapping through Windows, you must have
                   {NETWORK.DRV=PWNFS} in the [boot] section of your
                   SYSTEM.INI file.

{    Example
{    -------

       To use a Swedish keyboard, complete the following steps:

           1. In Windows, go to the "Control Panel."  Select
              "International."  Then select the appropriate keyboard
              layout, in this case, "Swedish."

           2. Exit Windows, then restart Windows. If you are connected to
              an 8-bit host, the Swedish keyboard is now enabled.  If you
              are connected to a 7-bit host, or if PWNFS is not loaded,
              follow steps 3 through 12.

           3. Open the Keyboard Remapper.  Select "New" from the "File"
              menu.  The "System Information" dialog box appears.

           4. Use the "Next" and "Previous" buttons to display the type of
              keyboard you have (XT, AT, or AT-Enhanced).

           5. Select "Swedish" from the country list at the right of the
              "System Information" dialog box.  Click "OK."  The Swedish
              keyboard appears.

           6. Save the keyboard in a filename by using either the "Save"
              or "Save as" menu selections on the File menu.  You must
              save the file with a .KBD extension.  It is saved in the
              C:\LANTCP directory by default.

           7. Open LANtastic for TCP/IP, and start a terminal session by
              selecting either "New Terminal Session" or "Open Terminal
              Session" from the "File" menu.

           8. When the "New Terminal Session" dialog box appears, select
              the "VT340" button.

           9. Double-click on the "Keyboard mapping..." button at the
              bottom of the dialog box.  A selection list of
              keyboard-mapping files appears.

          10. Find and select the Swedish keyboard you just created, and
              click "Open."  The filename containing the Swedish keyboard
              appears in the "New Terminal Session" dialog box next to the
              "Keyboard mapping..." button.

          11. Select the "Options" button.  When the TELNET Options box
              appears, select the "National" button under Character set
              mode.
          
          12. Go to the "Keyboard dialect:" selection list, and select
              "Swedish."  Click "OK."  When the "New Terminal Session"
              dialog box appears, click "OK."

       {Note...}     You can specify a new keyboard dialect during a
                   terminal session, but you must exit the session and
                   reopen it for the change to take effect.

{  Script Compiler
{  ===============

       LANtastic for TCP/IP now has a script language and compiler. Users
       or network administrators can write scripts to automate commonly
       performed tasks such as logging into a remote host and starting
       applications.  See THE SCRIPT COMPILER - OVERVIEW, USING THE SCRIPT
       COMPILER, SAMPLE SCRIPTS and COMMAND REFERENCE sections in this
       Update Manual.

{  Additional Character Support
{  ============================

       LANtastic for TCP/IP now supports double-high, double-wide
       characters for VT100 through VT340 terminal emulations. Box
       characters are supported in DEC VT and TN3270 terminal sessions
       (in text mode).

{  Setting Up an FTP Server
{  =======================

       The File Transfer Protocol Daemon (FTPD) is a program that you
       can start on your PC to establish it as an FTP server on the
       network.  After the FTP daemon has been launched, users on other
       hosts can then transfer files to and from your computer.

       To run the FTP server software perform the following steps:

           1. Create a users file. A users file contains information
              that enables users on remote hosts to log into your system
              and use the FTP server.

           2. Start the FTPD.

       You can also perform the following tasks with FTPD.

           o Run FTPD in the background (only from the DOS prompt outside
             of Windows).

           o Debug file transfers to determine why they failed.
           
           o Display a users file, with its passwords and permissions.

       {Note...}     FTPD in the background is not compatible with the
                   LANtastic server program.

{    Creating a users File
{    ---------------------

       To allow other users on the network to transfer files to and from
       your PC, you need to create a users file.  A users file defines the
       log-in name, file read and write permissions, and passwords for
       each user that you want to allow access to your system. A sample users
       file is supplied with LANtastic for TCP/IP. You should replace the 
       entire contents of this file with authentic user names to prevent 
       unauthorized access.

       On Windows systems, the users file must be located in the C:\LANTCP
       directory, or the directory into which the LANtastic for TCP/IP 
       applications were installed.

       If you do not already have a users file, use a screen editor such
       as VI.  The file must be saved in ASCII format.  The users file
       must be in the following format:

              login_name read_permission write_permission password
              .
              .
              .

       When creating a users file, the following rules apply:

           o Enter login names and passwords using all lowercase letters.
             Login names and passwords are case-sensitive. If you assign a
             password in uppercase letters, the user must type it in
             uppercase letters to log into the host.

           o Separate the following fields with at least one space:

              login_name permissions password

             Do not put a space between read and write permission fields.

           o Enter each {login_name}, {permission}, and {password} on a
             separate line.  For example:
           
              lisa r door
              harold w peaches
              george rw pinto

{    Starting FTPD
{    -------------

       For other users on the network to transfer files to and from your PC, 
       the FTPD must be running on your computer.
       
       You can start FTPD at the DOS prompt outside of Windows.  Use a
       command of the following format:

              ftpd [-b] [-d] [-n#] [-p]

       where


        -b       makes FTPD a background task
        -d       turns debug mode on
        -n#      specifies the number of users that can log in to
                 your PC at the same time.  The range is 1-5.  The
                 default is 1.
        -p       changes the port number for each data connection
         q       quits
         d       toggles debug mode
         u       shows user password file
         ?       displays help menu

       When you enter the FTPD command, the FTPD program becomes a
       foreground task by default.  While it is a foreground task, you can
       use the functions available in the FTPD help menu but you cannot
       use other Windows applications.

       You can start the FTPD in the foreground from the MS-DOS prompt
       within Windows by entering:

              ftpd

       {Note...}     Starting FTPD in the foreground will prevent you from
                   using your PC for other tasks.

                   If you want to free up your system, start FTPD in the
                   background (that is, {ftpd -b}, from the DOS prompt
                   outside of Windows only).

{    Running FTPD in the Background
{    ------------------------------

       To make FTPD a background task, enter it with the -b option at the
       DOS prompt (outside of Windows only).  If you run FTPD in the
       background, you can then use your PC to perform other tasks.

       {Note...}     Do not start FTPD in the background from the MS-DOS
                   box within Windows. It will cause your system to lock.

       If you intend to use many applications or terminal sessions
       simultaneously while using FTPD as a background task, you can
       increase the number of users (up to 5) that can access your file
       server during a session. See your LANtastic for TCP/IP manual for
       details.

{    Debugging the FTPD
{    ------------------

       LANtastic for TCP/IP provides a debugging mode that permits you to
       analyze the FTPD program.  To invoke debugging mode when you first
       start FTPD at the DOS prompt, enter:

              ftpd -d

       {Note...}     You can start FTPD debugging mode from the DOS prompt
                   outside of Windows or from the MS-DOS prompt within
                   Windows.

       If FTPD is a foreground task, you can turn it on and off by typing:

              d

       If FTPD is running as a background task, you cannot toggle
       debugging mode.

{    Displaying Authorized FTPD Users
{    --------------------------------

       To see a list of users with access permissions to your FTP server,
       FTPD must be running in the foreground.  To see this list while
       FTPD is running, type:

              u

       The contents of a typical users file are shown below.

              marsha  r   pears
              prentice  w   lions
              ross  rw   eagle

{    Stopping the FTPD
{    -----------------

       To stop FTPD if it is the foreground mode, press:
       
              q

       If you started FTPD as a background task, stop it by entering:

              astcprm

       from the DOS prompt (outside of Windows). This command will unload
       the following drivers:

           ftpd
           lprs
           lprint
           nfs
           astcp

       Another option, {astcprm -d}, will unload all of the above plus
       {aitcp}.  To use the functions provided by these drivers you must
       load them again. See your LANtastic for TCP/IP manual for the
       proper order.
