2 Installing ISDN Protocol Stack Software Packages

2.1 Introduction

This chapter describes how to install AG ISDN software under Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0, OS/2 Warp, UnixWare 2.x, SCO UNIX 5, and Solaris 2.5 or later.

To install AG ISDN software for a region, you will need the following disks:

A region-specific Install Disk for the operating system.

A protocol-specific Product Disk for the operating system.

To install the AG ISDN software, insert the Install Disk and run the installation program on the disk. When prompted, insert the Product Disk. The installation program extracts from the Product Disk the version of the AG ISDN software that is correct for the region.

2.2 Installing Under Windows NT

To install an AG ISDN software package under Windows NT:

Insert the disk labeled NT Installation Disk into your floppy drive.

Start the setup program:

Windows NT 3.51: In the Program Manager, choose Run... from the File menu. A Run dialog box appears. Enter a:\setup and click OK.

Windows NT 4.0: Click on Start. Choose Run.... A Run dialog box appears. Enter a:\setup and click OK.

The installation program starts.

(Non-USA packages only) You are asked to specify the countries to install.

(Non-USA packages only) Specify the countries you want installed.

(Non-USA packages only) You are asked for a "default country." The file for the country you choose will be duplicated, and the duplicate named isd.par. This file is used by the inoutcta and inoutadi demonstration programs (described in your AG ISDN for Natural Call Control Developer's Manual).

(Non-USA packages only) Choose a default country.

(Non-USA packages only) isd.par is created.

When instructed to do so, remove the Installation Disk from the drive and insert the disk labeled Product Disk.

The installation program copies files from the Product Disk to the installation directory on the host.

If the installation program detects previously installed files that are newer than the versions contained in the package, it asks you whether to install or skip the files in question. Typically, you should not overwrite newer files.

If you wish to install the AG ISDN software package for another region, repeat steps 2 through 5 for the Installation Disk of each package that you have.

Make sure to read the readme file installed with the AG ISDN software.

This file contains important information on the installed files and on how to use the software.

Under Windows NT 3.51, this file can be found in the Natural MicroSystems International Products program group in the Program Manager.

Under Windows NT 4.0, this file can be found in the Natural MicroSystems International Products group under Programs in the Start menu.

When you have finished installing AG ISDN software, edit the AG software configuration file, as described in Chapter 3.

2.3 Installing Under OS/2

To install an AG ISDN software package under OS/2 Warp:

Insert the disk labeled OS/2 Installation Disk into your floppy drive.

Open a command window and change to the drive by entering A: or B:.

Enter install.

The installation program starts.

When instructed to do so, remove the Installation Disk from the drive and insert the disk labeled Product Disk.

The installation program copies the files for all countries from the Product Disk to the installation directory on the host.

(Non-USA packages only) When copying is complete, you are asked for a "default country." The file for the country you choose will be duplicated, and the duplicate named isd.par. This file is used by the inoutcta and inoutadi demonstration programs (described in your AG ISDN for Natural Call Control Developer's Manual).

(Non-USA packages only) Choose a default country.

(Non-USA packages only) isd.par is created.

If you wish to install the AG ISDN software package for another region, repeat steps 2 through 5 for the Installation Disk of each package that you have.

Make sure to read the readme file installed with the AG ISDN software.

This file contains important information on the installed files and on how to use the software. This file can be found in \nms\agaccess\doc.

When you have finished installing AG ISDN software, edit the AG software configuration file, as described in Chapter 3.

2.4 Installing Under UnixWare or SCO Unix

To install an AG ISDN software package under UnixWare 2.x or SCO Unix 5:

Insert the disk labeled UNIX Installation Disk into your floppy drive.

From a supervisor account, enter installpkg.

The installation program starts.

(Non-USA packages only) You are asked to specify the country to install.

(Non-USA packages only) Specify the country you want installed.

When instructed to do so, remove the Installation Disk from the drive and insert the disk labeled Product Disk.

The installation program copies files from the Product Disk to the installation directory on the host.

If you wish to install the AG ISDN software package for another region, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the Installation Disk of each package that you have.

Make sure to read the readme file installed with the AG ISDN software.

This file contains important information on the installed files and on how to use the software. This file can be found in /opt/nms/agaccess/doc.

When you have finished installing AG ISDN software, edit the AG software configuration file, as described in Chapter 3.

2.5 Installing Under Solaris

Note: AG ISDN runs correctly on Solaris 2.5.1. If using Solaris 2.5, install patch #103094-01 from Sun MicroSystems.

To install an AG ISDN software package under Solaris:

su

Retrieve the process ID for the volume manager daemon by entering:

ps -ef | grep vold

Disable the volume manager daemon by entering a kill command, using the process ID you just retrieved.

Set the environment variable NONABI_scripts to TRUE.

At the root prompt, enter the following:

pkgadd -d /dev/diskette0

Insert the Product Disk into the floppy drive, and press return when prompted.

The system processes the disk(s). Then it displays the following:

"Installing ag ISDN package for solaris    
Please insert the region diskette into the floppy drive
    
Enter c to continue or enter q to quit: c

Insert the Installation Disk and press return.

If the Installation Disk is for a region other than the United States, the following menu appears:

	Which Parameter files would you Like to Install    
===============================================    
  ) aut                2   ) bel               3   ) dnk

  ) icl                11  ) irl               12  ) ita    
  ) lct                14  ) lux               15  ) nld    
  ) nor                17  ) prt               18  ) swe
    
use Number to select ( eg: 13 )     
'a' to select ALL,    
`c' to continue completing installation     
'd'Number to set as default ( eg: d13 )    
or enter q to quit: 7

Choose the parameter files that you want installed in your system from this menu by entering the number that corresponds to the country code and pressing return.

In the preceding example, 7 was selected, which corresponds to the file for Great Britain. The installation program places an asterisk next to the selection, as shown:

Which Parameter files would you Like to Install    
===============================================    
  ) aut                2   ) bel               3   ) dnk    
  ) esp                5   ) fin               6   ) fra    
  ) gbr                8   ) ger               9   ) gre    
  ) icl                11  ) irl               12  ) ita    
  ) lct                14  ) lux               15  ) nld    
  ) nor                17  ) prt               18  ) swe

For example, selecting 4, 5, 9, and 12 produces the following display:

Which Parameter files would you Like to Install    
===============================================    
  ) aut                2   ) bel               3   ) dnk    
  ) esp                5*  ) fin               6   ) fra    
  ) gbr                8   ) ger               9*  ) gre    
  ) icl                11  ) irl               12* ) ita    
  ) lct                14  ) lux               15  ) nld    
  ) nor                17  ) prt               18  ) swe

To remove an unintended selection, enter its two-digit code again.

Choose a default parameter file by entering the letter d, followed by the appropriate two-digit code.

For example, enter d12 to use ita (Italy) as the default parameter file.

To remove an unintended selection, enter the letter d followed by the appropriate two-digit code again.

Only one parameter file can be selected as a default at any time. You must remove an existing default setting before you can replace it.

Enter c to continue the installation program.

Note: If you have not selected a default parameter file, the installation program displays the following:

W A R N I N G ! ! !         
You must specify default file before continuing...Press <CR> to proceed

When the installation program completes, a "success" message appears.

The installation scripts add a table fragment to the /etc/devlink.tab file. This table fragment is not removed from the /etc/devlink.tab file during the uninstall procedure. Subsequent installations of CT Access or AG Access will detect the fragment in the table.

To restore the volume manager daemon, enter:

	vold &
