Initial Installation Problems 

Follow this sequence of steps after the initial installation of the
software.  At the end of each step, if you encounter a problem, stop at
that point until the problem is fixed.

Verifying the Data Communications 

This procedure applies if the data communications software is being
installed for the first time.  If the data communications software is
already installed, configured, and is in use, ignore this procedure.

To verify newly installed communications 
software: 

   1.  Verify the following values in NMMGR.

            @NODENAME
            @NETXPORT.NI.LAN1.PROTOCOL.IP
            @LINK.SYSLINK

   2.  Start the network.

   3.  If no error messages are displayed, check the status information
       that is displayed with the NSCONTROL STATUS command.

          a.  The following line is displayed when the network is
              started:

                   PDS  NETWORK SERVICE STARTED
                   PDSS NETWORK SERVICE STARTED

          b.  In the first section of the status display, look for the
              following information:

                    SERVICE  TYPE     STARTED    SERVER    DESCRIPTION
                    PDS      REMOTE   YES        PDSERVER
                    PDSS     REMOTE   YES        PDSERVER  PDS SERVICE
                    (stream mode)

          c.  In the third section of the status display, look for the
              server name, PDSERVER.

          d.  If version A.02.00 is installed, then one PDSERVER process
              will automatically be reserved when the network is started,
              to enable the NetBIOS monitor program.
